I bought a weekend pass to Anime North this morning - $60 CAD + $3.99 processing fee (for doing it online, I guess). I didn't go last year - being unemployed at the time, going to an event that has proved successful in getting me to part with my cash didn't seem like a great idea - so I'm definitely primed for this year.

Picked up an imported copy of Ghost in the Shell Arise: The Pyrophoric Cult from CDJapan since it has English subs and Funimation doesn't seem to be interested in releasing Alternative Architecture on disc and I have the rest of the OVA already so....
Also looked at Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The Movie: Reflection again while I was there. Curiously in the specs section it is now listed with English (and Japanese) subtitles. I know what I'm pre-ordering next pay day. Also Pre-ordered Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin Vol. 6 from Rightstuf. |

From Rightstuf:
Robot Carnival BD Hunter X Hunter 34 Berserk 28-31 Elsewhere: Berserk 32 Short Peace BD Blade Runner 2049 BD Was going to secure a Yuri on Ice LE, but decided I’ve seen enough production art and interviews online. It’s a damn good show; just not an all-time fave. |

From TRSI's Valentine's Sale...
 toradora by William DeRemer, on Flickr
It's "Out of stock - expecting more," so I hope it isn't too long before they get 'more' in... given that NIS America stopped doing anime, there's only so many copies left out there... |

Small comic shop day (also, since they're at a new store, they're trying to rearrange their stuff, and they made the manga a front-facing mess, ugh)
Land of the Lustrous 1 One Piece 84 Takana & Hana 1 Also, my Yuri on Ice LE arrived today! Just in time for the Olympics, lol! |

1) Regarding my previous purchase yesterday of the Toradora! SE DVD/Blu-ray bundle, I called TRSI today & learned it will be 2 weeks before they get more in stock, sadly...considering NISA got out of anime & their stuff is technically OOP, I'm just glad they CAN get more!
2) Placed my 1st order with RACS tonight for a deal too good to pass up... Monthly Girl's Nozaki-kun LE, normally $130, on sale for $40 to clear out excess stock... ...guess the LE of that show didn't sell well...but i knew it was something I wanted to own even having never seen it, and getting a Sentai LE that cheap is a steal. At that price it's only $9 more than the standard BD! |

So after what felt like an eternity (three weeks lol) of losing auctions on Buyee I finally won! I’ve been trying to nab some Love Live! Blu-ray sets but man oh man the competition was too fierce. I’ve easily attempted and lost a good six auctions for LL!S2 and LL!S. I place snipes and due to the auctions ending while I’m asleep I miss the final stretch!
I had my first ever last minute bidding war, which is NOT thrilling in the slightest on Buyee due to the fact that every bid placed less than five minutes prior to the auction ending boosts the end time up by five minutes. I felt like it was never going to end lol I won... Continuing on with the Key anime adaptations...Air Blu-ray Disc Box (2006 version) I had debated getting the re-packaged one, but ultimately decided against it. I really like the deep blue sky cover from the original one (also, I think it will pair well with the Kanon box) $64 before fees and shipping. Strike Witches Blu-ray Disc Box and Strike Witches 2 Blu-ray volumes 1-6. Very excited to watch them again. It’s been years. $92 (!!!) before fees and shipping. I’d wager another $80 will be added on once everything is ready to go from the warehouse. I’ve been sticking with SAL to save some cash. Also... I got a new shelf! |

Congrats, luffypirate! Oh man, I really don't think my nerves could handle an ongoing bidding war for something...

Thanks Blood, I ended up setting an alarm on my phone to go off every four minutes. It was a not so good time of day too, bidding between feeding and changing my son in the morning. I want to say it went on for a good 20 minutes of us going back and forth with low increments. $20ish over the original listing. Literally, the beast in me had awakened I didn’t want to lose another one lol
This BD box is ancient! Like, 12 years old! I wouldn’t be surprised if it was one of the first TV anime ever upscaled to HD (surely won’t look too great!) |

A very valid and important note. NISA sets are more than likely soon to be out of print. Luckily I have the Toradora collection, the Lull in the Sea collection, the Love Live BD set... wait, they're doing a discount Flash sale, what's in this one... An absolute tidal wave of singles, pages upon pages, what,... wait, the two halves of A Snow Fairy Sugar at two dollars apiece. That's exactly what that show is worth. It's charmingly cute with a good dub and that piano moving episode remains one of anime's great single episode achievements of combining character development, comedy and symbolism, the rest of it comes off not as good. Not so good... Not good? One of those. Then there's Agent Aika, a cart topping collection I've been putting off since Bandai went out of business. Not the greatest thing in the world but what is these days? It's trashy fun without anyone trying to defend it as wholesome entertainment and that's fine by me. But not enough for free shipping. Where was I? Oh yeah, the possible problem of NISA sets. I have that one and that one and that one and... Cardcaptor Sakura.. Huh. So yeah. I bought a hundred dollars BD set as a cart topper for two discount clearance titles. I'm funny that way. |
