The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

From MediaOCD.com as part of their Black Friday sale:

50% off Titles:
Looking for the Full Moon Vol. 1 BD
Nasu: Summer in Andalusia BD
SASUKE - The Complete Television Series BD

Discotek Closeout titles:
Galilei Donna DVD
Nyanbo BD

Non-Sale item:
Urotsukidoji Sequels of the Overfiend SDBD

Held off on the remaining Lupin Part II sets I don’t have as the last time I finally picked up a Discotek DVD I was told wasn’t getting a BD it got one less than a year later (Golden Boy). Will get Full Moon Vol. 2 in the future.
 
I decided to grab the four Lupin the Third Part II DVDs, along with the Galilei Donna DVD, from Discotek. They are all marked down as clearance items with limited copies remaining for their Black Friday Sale. The Lupin DVDs are $25 each, and Galilei Donna is $5.

I wish MediaOCD would have offered the Lupin releases for $20 each instead of $25, as Rightstuf had them on sale quite a few times over the years for $20 each and I never bit. Oh well.

I now have all the Lupin Series on disc, although I don't own a single Lupin special or movie Blu-ray.

Ooh Galilei Donna. I loved this show back when Crunchyroll wasn't behind a paywall.

And it looks like I got the last one... it's out of stock. And with my saved up points, I got it for free. Only had to pay for postage and sales tax.
 
Pre-ordered from Anime-on-line.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Hashira Training Arc
Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Steelbook
My Hero Academia Season 7 Part 2 Limited Edition

Ordered from Waterstones

In Another World With My Smartphone LN volume 30
 
Ninja Scroll Standard Edition (series)

A final purchase from HMV while they still had 20% off.
I waited until the MVM Sale dropped and the Ultimate Edition is £24 so I paid £16 as I don't need a few art cards costing £8.

Now do I really want Chained Soldier when I dropped the manga at volume 1.
 
Ordered from All the Anime (Christmas Sale - Order 1).
  • DAN DA DAN (Yokai Edition) (CE) (BD)
  • Giovanni's Island (BD)
  • Miss Hokusai (LE) (BD / DVD)
  • Princess Jellyfish (CE) (BD)
  • Seraph of the End (CE) (BD)
I'm quite happy with this Xmas sale order. The CE of Princess Jellyfish finally showed up in a sale after waiting for it to for ages (it has previously not been in a sale (as far as I'm aware) or only as a mystery box item).

I'd been meaning to get Seraph of the End for a while after selling my Universal sets of the series some time back.

Miss Hokusai is an underated movie and as far as I know this is the only release with the English dub.

DAN DA DAN I had a feeling would show up on EB redux so I'm pleased there though I'd hoped Cyberpunk would as well.

Giovanni's Island was only £2.99 and is a movie I'm yet to see so a low investment blind buy there.

I may get the first four volumes of Naruto on BOGOF at a later date as I was planning to collect the series that way seeing as I chose Bleach to be the series to keep up with as they release out of the two.

I finally bit the bullet with the monogatari season 2 collection. Its very expensive for my taste, but I already have season 3, really like this series and it does not seem to get cheaper. I wonder if I will ever find Nekomonogatari Black, though:P.

Also ordered a boatload of anime Limited titels.

Did a wee sale purchase.

BOGOF Patlabor 1+2
Ascendance of a Bookworm 1+2 £2.99!

I decided to accept the postage as a necessary evil.
There are some great prices and I could have got to £50 easily.

I have the USA DVD of the 3rd Patlabor film and that's a nice set. Cost $1 from Rightstuf.

I have the Black Bullet DVD if I want to watch it. Sport Climbing Girls is too much for me to bite this year especially for a show I have already watched.

Akiba Maid Wars and Karakuri Circus are £20 together but I got to the half point of both shows 1 or 2 years ago and never went back to them. I decided there's no point owning them. I've got too much stuff not getting watched and I did say last year I'd be more careful.

This has been a good year for AL from me when it comes to purchases. Usually I struggle to reach the shipping threshold for either of me orders.

So I went through my usual method... 1) Click on everything that looks interesting. 2) Delete the isekai (surprisingly light this year; only one title) 3) Delete what I already own, takes a bit of time checking a backlog of five years of unwatched AL and other anime titles. 4) Skim through the ANN Encyclopaedia pages for reviews and ratings; more green than red is good. 5) Check the collector's editions for physical bonuses beyond ten page artbooks and delete as appropriate (undelete some double dips with cheap LEs this year)

Three hours later, I have my orders.
