The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

It's possibly worth noting that the Spice and Wolf Novel Collection is $150 for a book that contains 17 books worth of content, which isn't quite so bad really (the individual releases would probably add up to a similar amount).

At least, that's what it seems to be. I'm not sure if I'd want a book that large, though I suppose it'd be something interesting that could potentially make for a nice display.

Yeah, this seems like a book that's not really designed to actually be read, just sit in a collection and look nice. I'm almost tempted to drop the $150 for a copy myself, since I love Spice & Wolf and I've only read the first 3 volumes of the novels... but I typically do most of my reading of LNs/Manga in my bed for an hour or so before I go to sleep, and a big 17 volume tome isn't really conducive to that style of reading... I think the dinner table is the only place in the house I could reasonably read it comfortably.

You don't need to put down $150, because UP1 has it for £70 ($92)... well... it's still expensive... but if Spice and Wolf economics taught me anything, it's that a saving is a saving!

Lol, I booked the wrong week off work (booked final week of Oct for SLA instead of Edinburgh weekend), what a complete doughnut. Luckily I hadn't booked accommodation. No chance work will move it around, sigh.

Edinburgh looks killer good! Not only is GUP, Your Name & Kizu there but A Silent Voice, such a good line-up.
 
Yeah Edinburgh looks pretty great, I'm very curious to see how Belladonna of Sadness and Momotaro, Sacred Sailors do in terms of ticket sales.

I'll probably pop into Edinburgh for Harmony, Kingsglaive, Your Name, Redline, Pigtails and I'd love to see The Girl Who Leapt Through Time on the big screen as I love that movie a lot. Maybe a few others, don't know a whole lot about some of them so some research may be needed.
 
So uhh next year do you reckon they'll show kizumonogatari 1, 2 and 3? For this year just going a bit smaller scale for anime cinema viewing with going to see akira in a pretty close showcase cinema but if I have a job next year then going for a weekend would net me a lot of anime films I wouldn't necessarily be able to see otherwise.
 
Another demi-human/monster girl type series is getting an anime adaptation.

Interviews with Monster Girls (Demi-chan wa Kataritai Comedy)
Monsters of legend walk among us, going by the name “demi-humans.” Ever since he's discovered the “demis,” one young man has become obsessed with them. So when he gets a job as a teacher at a high school for demi-girls, it's a dream come true! But these demis, who include a rambunctious vampire, a bashful headless girl, and a succubus, have all the problems normal teenagers have, on top of their supernatural conditions. How to handle a classroom full of them?!
