[General Discussion] Recent Anime/Manga purchases

I finally got Genshiken vol 3 the other day. I somewhat feel like getting the whole Stand Alone 1 on the dvd but there is no point =/. or Not yet ^^:. As for Manga, D- Grayman is part of my manga library next to DN.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I need that collection ;_;.. I owned them on vhs (not recorded, the real deal =] ). But i need that boxset.


Also. I purchased Death Note vol 6 and adding a new manga to my collection (which is only Death Note ;p ) ,D.Gray-man vol 1. The second volume comes out August.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Same here . I wanted to buy just D.Grayman vol 2 until i found Shonan Junai Gumi vol 1 and Air Gear v1. Good thing Del Rey licensed the manga. Otherwise there wouldn't be any color pages (For AG that is).

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

15 days later... We wanna know what we got this month!.

$100 Captain Tylor - My sister and her friend recommended me to watch this. I hope its worth it. It's a small box that I bought from Suncoast (They are the devils when it comes to prices..)

$25 Star Ocean EX Dub/Jap - The story wasn't what I expected but I am a huge SO2 fan so it deserved a purchase.


I was thinking of getting Fate/Stay Night vol1 with the box. vol2 came out yesterday. Does anyone know what the dub is like? Im sure they pulled it off well. After all, it's always Geneon that has a batch of talented voice actors like David Lucas and Crispin Freeman.

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

Yeah, i know it makes a lot of since, an American company buys it and sends it back to Asia, to be dubbed in English. This is just from what i have heard from people that work in the dubbing industry.
They are doing this because they dont seem the profit margins enough because people arent buying enough anime, so instead of raisint the price to make to where even less people would buy it, they drop the quality, so they a better chance of hitting a profit.

Ah. No wonder my Gunslinger Girl boxset didn't look as good as the real collection that came out. The custom-made version that I have is from hong kong but the dubbing is included. The quality of episodes, however, is a tad bit fuzzy. Not that I'm complaining but it's good enough for those who don't want the real thing and rather buy it cheaper. Oh I forgot to mention the sets for Ghost in the Shell 1st+2nd GIG was custom-made but the quality is was just as good so no worries here ^^. But the rest of what you said is true. Geneon's Star Ocean EX boxset was around 90 bucks but I got the other one instead..If it followed the storyline I would've dished out another $100. I think.

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh! Sorry ;p. Oh well, I mentioned it at least. However, not many Illegal dvd sets are crappy. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought it =/.

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

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

Just cop'd the first US set w/vol 1 and 2 today. And to know that the dude who played Lupin has also taken the job of workin on lancer is just awesome.

I never saw the whole thing ;p


edit : Forgot to mention that I also grabbed Death Note vol 8. Didn't know vol 9 came out a while ago O.o. Is vol 10 out already too?

edit 2 : It is.

FELIPE NO

I had season 1 already but I should be getting season 2 today or tomorrow so everything else is all good. Macross Plus was a non-debatable purchase. I had to buy it >=]. I wonder if the movie version was better..

How ya doing, buddy?

This is what I got so far from rightstuff minus DBZ Season 2. Shitty cam it is.

All dvds - The big Red box is the Limited Edition smooth Box of Rozen Maiden vol 1 along with the other dvds which the others have a close up on. The rest is Chobits vol 1-7 , Haibane Renmei vol 1-4 and Mahoromatic the Automatic Maiden Season 1 and 2


Heatguy J dvds + pic of the Boxset. Unfortunately all 7 dvds do not fit -_-


Next is D.Gray-man vol 5 with Death Note vol 10 and 11 and just pre-ordered 12.


Armitage 3+Dual Matrix Boxset. I've yet to see Dual ;_;. Wish I had the time but all dvds are still wrapped up ^^;



And I save the best for last. DBZ Season 2 UNCUT.



Jam it back in, in the dark.

Look what the cat dragged in >.<




I should be getting my GTO boxsets in today. I'll edit later. Time to give this show a chance.

How ya doing, buddy?
