► My latest acquisition:
And now, after
almost 4 full months of not spending any money here's my latest acquisition:
Or in case people can't open pictures:

Perfect Blue (Collector's Edition)
► The rigid box:
Let me kick off by saying that
just like Durarara it's slanted and the spine isn't aligned correctly, so yeah ... there's that. >_<
► Finally, another Anime Limited acquisition:
I'm happy that I finally managed to sneak in another Anime Limited acquisition after Durarara back in March.
As known by whoever keeps up to date with the exchange rate of the Pound vs. the Euro things have been really bad for us overseas. Both the dollar and pound have moved in my disadvantage.
I bought Perfect Blue when the exchange rate was 'improving' 2 weeks ago as I knew it would go OOP soon and felt like I should get the rigid version.
► Wait, almost FOUR months of no acquisitions?!
Yes, my previous acquisition was paid for at the end of July and Perfect Blue near the end of November 2014.
The exchange rate hasn't been the only thing keeping me from buying anime. The lack of good deals and interesting releases has been a huge setback as well on top of that.
As well as the questionable reports coming from Manga Blu-ray releases as of late. Luckily I prefer dubs, but still I find it quite annoying to hear about some of the things (like about chapter marks).
For whoever knows me well enough knows my birthday was during those 4 months (late August) and the fact I didn't have an acquisitions update tells you how much I got for my birthday.
;-(
That's nothing new on the horizon though. Just like Christmas my birthday is a barren wasteland of nothing (special) at all. Got a bit of cash from my dad and grandpa, but nothing much really.
► Next acquisition :
Currently there're no standing orders, but I backed a certain KickStarter and am expecting that parcel to arrive somewhere this month.
I have been looking into a few orders I want to make, but I haven't made any solid decisions yet. But I do want to sneak in one more order before the end of the year.
I need to speak to somebody about something as well in regards to "cheating the system".
