[Ian Wolf]

Already reviewed Sweet Rein. Plan to get Air Gear, Vampire Knight and Alice in the Country of Hearts (but I'm rather behind).

 

[MrLaserSharkKH]

Oh, I must have missed Seven Seas nabbing the Senran Kagura manga, might look to get that one, hopefully it might show up on comiXology at some point.

But definitely Psyren & Dance in the Vampire Bund for me at some point.

 

[Joshawott]

I need to get Mayo Chiki, Pokémon, Senran Kagura and Ultimo, as well as catch up on Naruto.

 

[NormanicGrav]

One Piece Box Set will be in my Christmas list.

I'll get Mayo Chiki and Senran Kagura sometime.

 

[Rosencrantz]

Not too much this week, just Mayo Chiki.

Maybe 1-2 others depending on how I feel

 

[RoronoaSouthe]

Air Gear & One Piece(Tho i won't pick that up until end of the month)
Naruto & DGM I'm tempted to start picking up the 3in1's
And the Pokémon's waiting on the box sets.

 

[st_owly (witch)]

I'll be getting Alice, Strobe Edge, Sweet Rein, Midnight Secretary, Tegami Bachi and Skip Beat. Might get D-Gray Man eventually.

One Piece Box Set will be in my Christmas list.

How different are manga & anime for One piece?

 

[NormanicGrav]

One Piece Box Set will be in my Christmas list.

How different are manga & anime for One piece?

For starters, the anime has episode fillers and filler arcs (which is one of the main reasons why it's 600+ episodes long for the past decade) as the manga is on-going (at around 70 volumes now). The manga is like AoT, faster paced and better than the animated adaptation (depending on the argument).

I've read the first three volumes via Omnibus 3-in-1 and I wanted to get the single volumes to catch up before watching the series.

The manga boxset includes the first two arcs of the series:
East Blue, which is Volumes 1-11 and has Chapters 1-100. The anime adaptation had Episodes 1-61 (including 9 episode fillers) and Movie 1 canon.
Baroque Works/Alabasta, which is Volumes 12-23 and has Chapters 101-217. The anime adaptation had Episodes 62-135 (including 10 episode fillers) and Movies 2-3 canon.

Pretty much if you've watched Collection 1-5, you've witnessed the entirety of Arc 1 and Arc 2 (Episodes 131-135 are filler).

Thanks for that comprehensive response. I did wonder if the anime had fillers or not so thanks for answering that question as well, of the anime episodes I have seen so far the Millennial Dragon storyline certainly felt like a filler.

Will get Ultimo 9 & Tegami Bachi 15 at some point. Maybe will be a waterstones purchase if I get sent some more gift-vouchers.
