At this point I've had or have from previous years offerings most of what I'd want. Tis tragic. I imagine a lot of others are in the same overfilled ship. Ping Pong, Terror, etcetc. One thing I did order is Red-headed Snow White for the box.... despite owning the singles. I didn't see the bold/small print: is that not going ship before next year, then?.... that's one way to avoid delays: announce them before sending. I like it. Reverse psychology.
Going on Escaflowne, the UEs are too big. Purchased for £80ish, sold for £80ish. The OST makes me kinda want it for half that... but yeano. Those days are gone where I'd hoard. Hokusai's wood is nice an' hard, mind. The film isn't terribly high budget or memorable yet unusual enough to be worth a watch. Shame no way to own Bebop CE without paying £199.99.
Anyway, I'ma wait for mystery boxes. Surprise CeXing is just about the only way to get me to try anime, nowadays. I tried the Circus series with a shota and butler and was pleasantly surprised, in a very straight non-pedo way. You just never know. This year I'm hoping for Kiznaiver... I think? On-hold at 6/10, destined to never be finished, but nice looking/sounding. That's a plus.
