The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

[Aion]

I have no idea how Aion can afford that level of constant purchasing. How do you do it? :O

Uzumaki is good (not 10/10 material or anything, you're right!) and probably worth owning. I think it falls apart at the end though.

Credit card. The statement comes every month and then I have at least a few weeks to pay before I get charged extra. I somehow manage to just about not go over my limit without thinking about it.

If I had to pay by cash on hand, I wouldn't be able to. I've spent too much since my last statement, so I'm expecting a rather nasty bill this time. On manga alone, I've spent around £100, so... >___<

 

[Zin5ki]

The dub is horrific, too.

Speaking for myself, I'll agree. Most of my R1 friends are somewhat more tolerant of it however.

Ditto, this is what happens to me.

Aion, are you a male escort or something? You always have money, Jesus Christ.

I bought Ouran part 1 today as I said I would, I bought this publicly, no one can top that potential level of embarrassment.

Also got Parasyte 7, will read soon.

An action worthy of a real man :thumb:

I bought the Tsubasa/xxxHolic movie DVD, though I suspect I'll only bother watching half of it as Tsubasa looks annoying.

I want so badly to see an Aion - Rui debate on gender roles.

 

[crunchyroll]

20th Century Boys Volume 2 by Naoki Urasawa. Awesome, the best comic I've read in ages. Picked up a copy of Monster too, heard lots of good things but never got around to reading it

 

[ilmaestro]

Some of y'all need to get jobs. ^^;

 

[Truered]

Decided to pick up volumes 1-3 of the FMA manga as I enjoyed the first half of the (first) series.

That's not an investment you'll regret. ^^

[Aion]

Had a look through PlayUSA to hunt for cheap and interesting sounding titles. I found five. I ordered them all because they're all out of stock and I want to see how fast/slow PlayUSA are at sending things they don't have on-hand.

Kashimashi = lesbians.
Phoenix = unknown gem, based on a highly regarded manga.
Midori Days = supposedly decent rom-com.
Gokusen = female equivalent of GTO.
Galaxy Railways = space drama, somehow involving trains.

 

[fabio de lunatico]

Hmm, The Gokusen. I'll have me some of that for a tenner. Good spot. Now for some uninvited comments on your other purchases:

Midori Days is surprisingly enjoyable shounen romance, though you might have trouble accepting the show's rather odd premise (which is never adequately explained). Kashimashi wasn't quite what I was expecting. It's a total cop-out, really, and quite a bizarre one at that.

 

[CitizenGeek]

The Phoenix manga is phenomenal, and I've heard the anime does it justice so that was probably a good purchase idea :]

 

[ilmaestro]

lol, exactly what I was going to say. Lack of "realism" + subservient girl = probably not for Aion.

 

[shira]

Galaxy Railways sounds so cool.

 

[Aion]

So did Captain Herlock, but the 13 episode series I got turned out to be quite a dull - a 6-7/10 affair. I'm not sure what to expect with Galaxy Railway...

My credit card bill will seriously hurt. I wanted to get the volumes for less and thought I might be able to since two different people listed auctions for volumes 6-11, but those auctions ended up going for more than the new prices. :/

 

[deactivated]

Yeah, people always seem to think they can sell their used manga for more then the price of a new volume.
Don't quite get that.

Bought or seen all those and I pretty much enjoyed them all.
Phoenix might be a bit slow for you.
Gokusen is pretty good and has now got me interested in GTO (which I don't have yet).
Kashimashi is a gender swap yuri.
Midori Days is pretty funny.
Galaxy Railways is not a bad sci fi if you can get over trains as spacecraft. (probably order this myself at that price)
