[General Discussion] Recent Anime/Manga purchases

i figured i should actually continue my hardcopy collection of manga. before this, i only had the .hack//legend of the twilight volumes and one naruto volume that was a christmas present. so, i'm starting now: i got naruto volume 2, the first 2 volumes of bleach, the first 2 volumes of fullmetal alchemist, and the first 2 volumes of love hina.

it's been a long while since i've watched or read anything love hina, so it should be fun again. and with naruto and bleach, i just finished catching up with the scanlations this past week (starting from the beginning); i just want hardcopies though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Even though I've read the first 7 volumes of Death Note on my computer, I'm loving it so it's definitely a series I want a hard copy of. So I got myself the first two volumes of it. <3 Steadily growing my manga collection...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Received this Fullmetal Alchemist box I ordered last week today for $10. It's got Volume 4 of the manga plus an Edward Elric figurine. Finally, I have a statue of my hero and my all-time favorite character. <3



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

Whee, picked up the next 2 volumes of Death Note (3 & 4 for me) to continue my collection. I thought I would wait a while before going through story a fourth time (or third not counting the movies), but I don't see me getting over this Death Note high for a while... oh, hi sig. :3

Also got the third volume of Fullmetal Alchemist since I'm there now. I had Volumes 1, 2 , and 4 (which came with the figure), so Vol. 3 makes it contiguous now. Too bad the Volume 4 I have doesn't have the super shiny cover.

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

I hadn't bought any manga for over 2 months, but I'm almost caught up with everything I have, so I thought I'd the next Full Metal Alchemist volumes. Borders I went to didn't have them though... so contingency plan:

Naruto, Vol. 3 and Bleach, Vol.3 because one day I will go through the beginnings for the fifth time.

And of course, [b]Death Note, Vol. 6[b] because L is my boy. But then again this volume...

Lastly, Bleach box of mystery:


One of five.... who's inside?


Rukia naman. <3

I was speaking idiomatically.

Wooo! I finally found the next volumes for Death Note and Fullmetal Alchemist. Volume 6 of FMA has eluded me for quite some time, so I haven't been able to continue the story for over a month now. I went ahead and got volumes 6 & 7 of that. I was gonna get 8 too, but the lady warned of the super sticky security tag on it that would destroy the cover; so I didn't get that. Instead, I also got volume 7 of Death Note, which has also eluded me, but I'm only on volume 6 right now anyway. =p

BUT! Quote from the cashier when she saw my purchases:

Quote:

I love L.

<3 Yeah, then we made love behind the counter. The end.

Sike! I don't think I've ever had a cashier who was into manga. So I was able to have a fun conversation with her for a few minutes. Yay.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I've read the scanlations. I've watched the movies. I've completed the anime series. I've read the first 7 [English] volumes, and now I can completely finish it off...

Death Note.

I bought the last four volumes last night. This may be my last DN fix. Ever.

FELIPE NO

Finally about to catch up to something with my latest purchases: Fullmetal Alchemist, volumes 11-14, which should bring me up-to-date with the series. In addition, I also got .hack//AI buster so I can finally start on catching up to the .hack series that I stopped following several years ago.

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

Recent manga run since I'm caught up with stuff. First, a crappy photo of the gets:



I haven't kept up with Death Note too much ever since going throw the anime twice, the movies, and the manga twice (scanlations than NA volumes). I don't know what's really in this Volume 13, but hopefully there's something interesting in there. I also got Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases. which looks fo' serious.

I got .hack//AI buster 2 since I'm trying to get back into the series, and I just finished reading the first one. Next up will be the third PS2 video game.

And lastly, I got the just-released Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 16. <3

EDIT: And two months later, I happen to make the next anime purchase. I finally gave in and got the Limited Edition Death Note DVD boxes with the figurines. <3 Now I have another excuse to go through the story again!




Yes, Mario Kart Wii on the TV.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
