The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

So I was given some money just before the end of November and I have decided to spend some of it towards the Rightstuf Xmas Sale. While there's a lot of items I would like to get I decided to only focus on the ones I wanted the most.

Order #1:

High School of the Dead: Complete Collection Collector's Edition [Blu-ray & DVD Combo Pack]
Estimated Time of Arrival: Between December 14th-21st 2015

I already owned the UK Complete Series Blu-ray and OVA DVD but as a fan of this series and its manga I wanted to double-dip. However the price put me off for a very long time now (SRP $149.99) and this sale provided just the right value I would afford ($44.99). I ordered this last Sunday and it has dispatched last Wednesday night so I expect it to arrive sometime next week. This also marks my 5th Sentai CE, leaving Beyond the Boundary and Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun left to grab, as a reminder I'm skipping two-cour shows due to shelf space and price.

Order #2:

ef ~ A Tale of Melodies: Complete Collection [Blu-ray]
ef ~ A Tale of Memories: Complete Collection [Blu-ray]
Fate/stay night: Collection 1 [Blu-ray]
Fate/stay night: Collection 2 [Blu-ray]
Estimated Time of Arrival: Between December 21st-28th 2015

The second order which I had delayed for a while now. I just decided to order it now because I can't be bothered to delay it even further. I wanted to get more items from the Sentai sale and I decided to go ahead with these four. The ef sets were $14 each so I went for them (and they're also Region B which is a bonus) and the Fate/stay night collections were $9 and $14 respectively (now that's an offer you can't refuse). The Fate collections are indeed the 1080i versions but considering the 1080p complete set is literally the exact same I didn't see any point in going for the complete set anymore unless you wanted some lines of dialogue fixed (on another note, the 1080p set is 3 discs while 1080i is 4 discs, perhaps the 1080p version might have lost some QC on Audio or Video).

Bonus: Christmas Day Preview:

Mobile Suit Gundam: Part 1 w/Collector's Box [Blu-ray]
I can confirm that on Christmas Day I will have Anime Limited's release of Mobile Suit Gundam Part 1. The rest of the list is still in planning stages but I won't reveal those until the 25th.

Harlock: Space Pirate 3D [Blu-ray] has been delayed to January due to Twilight Time having issues with authoring.
 
Looking ahead to some 2016 anime so I picked up:

Tenkyou no Alderamin - expecting this to be "actually" good.
Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta? - expecting below medium at best, but Hisasi art, so.
Minami Kamakura Koukou Joshi Jitensha-bu - secretly the 2016 anime I'm most hype for.
 
Bought Berserk The Movie 2 from Base. Haven't seen 1 yet (Will probably get all 3 first) but at £7 odd it's a great price. Just going to have to hope 3 comes down at some point in the January sales although I don't think I've ever seen that film below £15. Heres hoping I guess. This will also probably be the last bit of Anime I buy before Christmas. Between the Chuunibyou CE and the Gurren Lagann UE among others I feel like I've been spending too much on myself as I haven't really started Christmas shopping yet (I only just realised today how scarily close to Christmas it is!) so I feel I should probably hold back until that's done. Unless some really great deal happens of course :p
 
My copy of the Amazon JP exclusive Love Live Movie appears to have shipped. Quite the surprise since I thought it came out next week!
I also got a surprise email from UP1USA stating that they've dispatched my Love Live Season 1 Premium Edition today. No mention of the cost price though, and the order itself has never been present under the My Orders page. To my knowledge, that only leaves my orders for the Yui Yuigahama and Yukino Yukinoshita SNAFU figures for the rest of the year outside of any potential Rightstuf purchases.
 
Splash in the Righstuf sale. Here is hoping this order follows the same route as High School of the Dead CE. Received HSotD today and there were no custom charges. Package came in Europe through Switzerland.
