For me: The lovely complex pic won't load fully, and the Miscellaneous is cut off near the top of the word.

I was hoping Hell Girl got deeper. I may need to finish picking that up.

as for the collection, i am so jealous of the ccs dvds. Sad
The Eiken and last poster bottom right look scary Sad Sad

It all loaded fine for me. That Lovely Complex cover though is about as amazingly 80's as you could get. The color scheme, the clothes, the hair; it all screams 80's to me.

Can't remember the last time I saw a Shelf Life that didn't have a single Shelf Worthy title in it.

Derek really likes his loli and ecchi... if I had those posters, I wouldn't have them on my wall. Showing them to people would be out of the question. That won't be a problem for me though cause I hate that type of stuff.

Those are some respectable shelves with lots of room to expand one's collection. I really like those posters. They make me think of pencil board images, only larger.

I watched episode 1 of Black Blood Brothers on IGN. The thing that killed it for me was the awkwardly placed comedic scenes. They felt out out of place and they weren't funny. But when the show was just drama I felt it was being TOO dramatic. This one's a no go for me.

In response to the DVDs, I like none of them, but I am thinking of getting the Hell Girls series if it ever gets on Box Set.

As for the pictures of the room, that's quite a lot of anime. Man, I would love to have those Carcaptor Sakura and Tenchi in Tokoyo DVDs. As for those posters, you couldn't paid to put that stuff up in my room. There is no place for them and my parents would go crazy if I had the stuff up. Another note, I look had how many books that person had and I laugh. I have way more books then person, but he easily beats me in the amount of anime I have.

Yes, that is Shion and Mion, and yes, it is an official promo poster; they all are. Smile

For the Shelf-obessed photos: Please corrct me if I'm wrong- Ikea 'Billy' type shelves in beech veneer, correct?

I've spent a fair amount of time looking at Ikea product recently to re-vamp my shelving, so those look familiar. Razz

(I got a Besta shelf for my DVDs- limited space means going for deeper shelving. I did get some Billy ones for manga tho'. Laughing )

I've got that too. When I first loaded the page it wasn't there (i.e. I could see the whole picture), but after reading down and scrolling up it was cut off. Looks like some sort of ghost frame that doesn't affect the text.

The Billy shelves are deeper than those. usually allows for 2 rows of dvds without overhang.

I use Billy shelves and they're not bad, but there are too few shelves to get correct DVD spacing.

Derek Izatt does indeed have a broad range of stuff, some of which he's had to import.
This is the first UK based collection I've seen that features Cool Devices in it...

That's the coolest collecton of posters I've seen in a long time. Please do not mention Billy bookcases. I had to deal with quite a few of them being returned today half-completed and sliding off carts. Sad

Though I am using one to house some of my manga...
