[General Discussion] Recent Anime/Manga purchases

DAMN YOU ENKIDU! I was gonna recreate my own thread. ; ;

Anywho, I've of course been keeping with my Flame of Recca manga series. I've also recently acquired the full Twelve Kingdoms anime and I must say, even though it's not a CLAMP work it could definitely tryout. But it's really good and anyone who's a fan of mythology should really pick this up.

Animation's pretty top-notch, the voices are really well done and the story is absolutely superb.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Has anyone heard of Special Duty Combat Unit Shinesman? I've read stellar reviews about it, but I was gonna gather some opinions on here before I bought it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I finally got in my copy of Flame of Recca volume 17, manga of course. Another excellent read and provides the first few chapters of what I presume to be the last story arc.

Sweet! Rei, you picked up a lot of my personal favorites. G Gundam, 8th MS Team, and Scryed. Good picks.

I'm enjoying what I'm seeing on Cartoon Network as far as Eureka 7 goes, so I can imagine I'll start buying it soon.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Since it's inevitable anyway, later today I'll be going to pick up a UMD and a DVD version of FInal Fantasy VII: Advent Children, as I pre-ordered both versions.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yesterday I ordered the Get Backers boxset and the Peace Maker Kurogane box. I hope PMK is good, and I already know Get Backers is. Anyone here seen and enjoyed PMK?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I just purchased the Fate/Stay Night Part 1 boxset -- www.discountanimedvd.com is having it as a pre-order sale for only $18. It's only in Japanese audio with English subtitles, but I'm so eager to watch it that I decided I'll buy the dubbed edition when it comes out.

Thankfully, I know I can trust Geneon to work with one of the better VA companies, like Ocean.

Well for one, I know it's bootleg, as it's not even being released by Geneon, but by Anime Cartoon -- a bootleg company. But I've purchased sets from Anime Cartoon before and never had a problem, so I don't suspect I'll have a problem now. If I do, I'd rather be out $18 instead of $40, which is the box's original price (on sale as a pre-order).

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Recently bought Kamichu! Vol.1 with the box, a seriously beautiful package. Though some of the pencilboards and the wallscroll included was quite a bit too loli for me so I'll keep that one unopened and stash it away somewhere.

I don't plan on buying Fate/Stay Night as bootleg once it gets an English release. But I can't very well buy a Region 2 DVD to play in my awesome NTSC-only dvd player, either. I'd rather by bootleg than download the damn thing -- at least then I'm paying someone.

Hrm...well, recently went on a bit of a spending spree.

Bought some Inu Yasha DVDs and the fourth Inu Yasha movie, but that's it for anime.

Tried to get Chun Rhang Yhur Jhun volume 1, but it's "temporarily out of stock" so I passed on it in order to get the rest of that order shipped, which includes Warcraft vol. 2, Flame of Recca 19 and Chronicles of the Cursed Sword vol 1.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Made a few purchases today. Got Appleseed 2004 on UMD at GameStop since it was used for only $10 before employee discount and 10% discount card kicked in.

MovieStop's having a Buy 2 Get 1 free on all anime sale, so I took the opportunity to do something I rarely do -- bought volume 1 of Ergo Proxy, Fate/Stay Night (just to hear the English dub), and the new Guyver series. I rarely buy the first volume of a series, but I did since this opportunity was far too golden to pass up.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

So to anyone who got it already. Is Fate/Stay Night worth to buy?

I've got the Japanese boxset to Fate, so I've watched the whole series subbed. Bought the first English volume just to see how the dub would be, and it's pretty decent -- pretty close to its Japanese counterpart. In the first volume, if I recall correctly there was only one major voice actor I could identify -- the guy who played Lupin the III takes up the role as Lancer.
