I've read Twin Star Exorcists, kind of why I like BookDepository...I get some manga early or around the time it is released in the US. Faster than the site I used to buy my manga from.

Thought that it made a pretty good start, even if it had some atypical elements in it. Looking forward to the next volume...just wish the mangaka's previous series, Good Luck Girl, would get licensed. Enjoyed the anime, and want to know what happens at the end of it all!

Right now, I'm waiting for Nisekoi 10 to arrive in the mail...any day now...Laughing

I hope ANN does a review for Pandora of the Crimson Shell: Ghost Urn, what, with the GitS talk of late.

Is the only difference between the Noragami regular edition and limited edition the extra box that comes with the limited edition??

That is the standard Funimation difference between editions. Of course most outlets have them priced only $5 apart. Usually if they are releasing part 1 of a series the box will have a place holder for part 2. If it is the entire series the DVD and Bluray versions will be in separate cases. The standard edition will have both versions in the same case.

Thanks. You think it's worth it for the box?
Though I'm not a huge fan of the large clam shells so maybe the extra 5 bucks will be worth it to have the DVDs and BDs in separate cases.

Yes, I think it is worth it. The box is chipboard and nicely illustrated. It is easier to spot when you are looking for the set. Getting everything in one plastic case is a slight bit smaller, but not enough to be a factor.

The main problem I have had with Funimation on packaging is shows like Shana where they were inconsistent from season to season. I don't really like combo packs at all, but that is not enough to keep me from buying a show.

Thanks for the input! I guess I'll put in an order and have it shipped back home since I'll be visiting next month.

As a big Shirow fan I'm interested in Pandora of the Crimson Shell although I'm bracing myself for some kind of lesbian/yuri loli cyborg story. My local bookstore will probably have a copy, so I'll definitely take a peek at it.

@Alan45, I haven't had a chance to check my local store yet, but I'd like to hear your impressions when you get the chance.

On Pandora of the Crimson Shell, I saw an image on my twitter time line a few days back...which the image in the spoiler is one part of, and I thought I was looking at the start of a yuri hentai. Was then told it was from Pandora of the Crimson Shell.
