The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

Well, ADV's releases were supposed to be out this week anyway, so it's not that much of a surprise- they just managed to just about make the original release date (a nice change :) ).
 
Its a 3 ep disc... Annoyingly. Makes me think ADV sorta thought oh crap, if we keep this up (5 ep a discers) we wont fill 7 discs.

Then they go and do a 6 ep a discer.
 
I went shopping yesterday and bought lots of lovely manga including Viz's Shojo Beat magazine :D I couldn't believe it when I found a copy - I was really excited, like a big kid :lol:
I'm very impressed with the contents, not only do you get 6 individual stories, including the exclusive Yuu Watase story Absolute Boyfriend, but there's a DVD with the first episode of Ultra Maniac, (and even though I have vol 1 & 2 of the official releases, it was still nice to get as a freebie) and also a sample of the Ultra Maniac manga, and as that's the only manga under the Viz Shojo Beat titles I haven't yet bought, it'll be nice to have a taster first before buying. The really good part of it though was the £4.25 it cost (quite impressed with the price).

The manga titles I bought were:
Kare Kano vol 7.
Prince of Tennis vol 6.
Cheeky Angel 4, 5 & 6.
Doubt! 2 & 3.
Honey Mustard vol 1 (been waiting for this one for about 4 months!).
Tokyo Boys & Girls vol 1.
Something I can't pronounce or spell, but it was vol 2 of it :lol:
Plus something I don't normally go for, as the author isn't Japanese or Korean, but German and won Tokyopop's Rising stars of manga comp! It's called Bizenghast, but when you see the artstyle, you can understand why I was tempted (and the story sounds good too!).

Plus through the post I got the final 2 volumes of POT on DVD :D
 
Wolf's Rain vol 3 and Tenchi Universe vol 1 arrived this morning; I've got the first Texhnolyze OST on order but it'll probably take another week or so to get here.
 
Ordered a couple more things today- .hack//AI Buster and Fruits Basket 6 (which won't be dispatched until after Aya-con now) as well as the Haibane Renmei OST.

I had a reading fest yesterday and this is one of the titles I read. It was really good :D One of the things I love about reading stories from different cultures, is some of the topics covered. As although at first glance it's a typical Korean Romance manga, it's the situation the 2 main characters end up in that cracked me up (they got seen having one kiss and now they're being forced to get married :shock: ).

I received a copy of Tenjho Tenjho 'Round 2' this morning as well as a set of ultra cute 'n' cuddly Bleach 'Chimakore' Gashapon, I also dipped into my overdraft (tut tut) and treated myself to a 1/144 HG Aegis Gundam Kit, which, fingers crossed should arrive this weekend.
