What Did You Buy This Month? - August 2009

I thought the date for release was the 18th? I pre-ordered mine, but then again it's being seen to my relatives house instead of mine, so I guess I'll ask her tomorrow... I hope I get it. :P
 
I ordered it from Rightstuf during the last Bandai sale. They have a tendency to ship things early. Thus, I always pre-order from them
 
I was just about to post about this.

I bought it today. Almost bought the special edition by mistake. But yeah, the regular edition is just a single dvd case containing two discs. The special edition looks like the regular editions of the first season (except the outer casing is now black), but still contains only the one disc case and fills the remaining space with what appears to be a volume of the manga. Just a warning for those who don't want to shell out the extra money for the special edition. Though the regular edition looks kind of awkward next to the Season One sets. And of course, disc two's cover would have Kallen in the bunny suit. lol

That should do it for my purchases this month. Unless I win the lottery and can buy the Naruto sets I'm missing.

On an off note, why is Bleach Season Four being released as a part one and part two release? Will there be a full Season Four release afterwarRAB? I like consistency, darn it!
 
Let see, I went on a buying binge for anime and manga today

A Ticket to see Ponyo in theaters

Hellsing Volumes 1 & 2

A super deformed Kinnikuman figure as a part of Shonen Jump's 40th anniversary.

One Piece Season Two, Second Voyage.

That's about it for today.
 
First, I was really looking forward to buying Grenadier: Complete Series this month. Sadly, my local Best Buy doesn't carry it and my local Saturday Matinee/FYE only has it with the figurine. If it's all the same, I only want the DVD itself. I'll have to order it from Best Buy later.

Anyway, I DID manage to finally pick up Voltron Vol. 6: Vehicle Force Air Team today. My local Best Buy had only one copy left in stock and I just couldn't pass it up.
 
Did some ordering and pre-ordering with Rightstuf's FUNimation sale.

Ordered: Romeo x Juliet Part 2, Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino Collection
Pre-ordered: Sgt. Frog Season One Parts 1 and 2, and One Piece Second Voyage Parts 2 through 4.

My Newtype magazine shipped, although I picked the cheapest shipping option so I'm honestly not sure when it will get here all the way from Japan. I figure two weeks if I'm lucky.

I'm also considering selling some of my nice sets, assuming I can get at least enough money to replace them with cheaper & smaller releases in order to save shelf space. Gundam Seed & Seed Destiny take up a truckload of shelf space. Series like Kanon, Last Exile and Fate/Stay Night could also be replaced. Not sure how far I will go just yet, if at all...



No! I don't want K-On Haruhi! I'm normal, I'm more interested in the Type-Moon extra!

Hmm...wait a minute....
 
I've heard HLJ ship quite fast to America, often within 3 days apparently. Hopefully that'll be true in your case.



I hear ya. Fanboyism makes me display the original releases/boxes, but I've said before I'd be quite keen to swap various stuff for the smaller complete collections. Gundam alone is nearly taking 3 shelves!



Next you'll be one of those horrible weirdos who buys multiple Japanese magazines every month, even if they can barely understand the text.
 
And by comparison, the final VIZBIG for DragonBall (volumes 13-16, four books) would destroy the universe if you dropped it.
 
Bought

Hellsing Volume 3

Fairy Tail Volume one, for some reason the art in this, especially the character of Lucy, reminRAB me of One Piece.
 
Anime:
InuYasha Vol 1, 12, 18, 20, 21, 15, 25, 26, 27, 29, 32, 34-42, 45, 47-51, 55

26 dvRAB for $28. Somehow I managed to find the entire Band of Seven arc and also the first and last volumes of the series which was nice. The last volume's case was damaged but the dvd was unharmed thankfully. I love DVD sales.
