So yeah it's been quite a while and I'll admit this update was a few months late but I figured now was the right time to make another update.
Figured I'll try and take a picture of an entire row than split it up due to the lighting.
First row contains a majority of the UK sets, mainly from Manga Entertainment and Studio Canal.
In case you can't see the title properly on the standard Blu-ray sets between Afro Samurai and Evangelion: 2.22, from left to right; Animatrix, Angel Beats, Appleseed: ExM, Batman: GK, Blood: Last Vampire, Blood C: Last Dark, Dante's Inferno, Devil May Cry, Evangelion: 1.11
Second row contains my entire Asian Cinema collection (Battle Royale, Enter the Dragon, Hero, The Host, Ichi, Infernal Affairs Trilogy, 13 Assassins SB, Oldboy SB, Rurouni Kenshin SB & Zatoichi SB).
Second row also contains MVM's R.O.D., Honneamise's Gunbuster vs Diebuster, Attack on Titan LE Part 1, standard US sets and special Anime Limited sets.
Third row contains all of my Funimation Limited Edition artboxes; 5 DVD sized and 24 Blu-ray sized.
Fourth row contains my Light Novels + Berserk Manga. In addition my entire Aniplex and NIS America sets.
Fifth row contains all of my Manga. In addition there's the Walking Dead Compendium Comic Books on the far right.
And finally my Manga Box Sets for Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist and One Piece (East Blue & Baroque Works) next to the shelf.
UPDATE - Figured I'll add a mini Q&A about my future pickups:
Plans for any Japanese Anime Imports? Not aiming to buy any this year but I do want to get the Ghibli films from Japan from now on. I might get 5 Centimeters per Second and Kara no Kyoukai before my 2nd Year ends.
Will you get more Sentai sets? Probably not, in fact I'm going to wait for the newer LEs since they plan on making versions of existing back catalogue like Clannad I mentioned a week back.
Will you get more Aniplex sets? A few planned before 2015, then once I'm up-to-date with Funimation's LEs. I will try to catch them all (that are still available).
Why pick Aniplex over Manga/MVM? The sets look nice and I like the extra content they provide. OSTs always gets my attention. As for Monogatari, consistency and nice A/V.
Plans for getting UK sets? Anime Limited and some Manga UK titles (Ghost in the Shell BD, Musashi for instance). No MVM.
Manga & Light Novel plans? I might get quite a few but it depends on the mood I'm in.
Since you now have some NIS Premium sets, will you be getting all of them? Not all of them, only selected titles. Cardcaptor Sakura is considered unless Andrew picks it up and releases an Ultimate set.
