I too hope one day to get a new laptop, I got the original x360 spectre, the worst equipped one! I'm thinking if I can save up enough by the time I actually have some talent in art, I'd get one of the newest x360s as a portable and a drawing tablet (I already have a desktop) apparently they include a stylus with their latest models now and the stylus gets a little better all the time. I've also seen way too much of testament to ignore it, I may get s1 and s2So it's been a while since I last posted on the forum, well there's a reason for that - my laptop had a seizure with the graphics and essentially kept getting the Bright Blue Screen of Death saying something went wrong. Basically it lasted six years and it was time for me to get a new one. After freaking out for a while my new one arrived today - the HP OMEN.
This laptop comes with the following notes; Windows 10, Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050i, 144 Hz Refresh Rate, 1TB HDD, 128GB SSD and it has a 15.6" screen size. You can get larger sizes and powerful versions of this laptop brand but I went for one that was suitable enough for me (my parents were helping me out since I told them well ahead of schedule that the laptop was bound to expire at any moment). As a result of this, my plans to get a bike for work has been pushed back but I'll be getting one next month.
In the meantime I also received three more anime sets for the collection, all from Anime Limited.
The first is The Testament of Sister New Devil Season 1 Collector's Edition Blu-ray which I decided to order from Zavvi because it was £5 cheaper than Anime Ltd's own special offer sale. Arrived pretty quick which was a nice change of pace.
The second is The Testament of Sister New Devil Burst Collector's Edition Blu-ray which I ordered from Shop AllTheAnime from their early bird sale. It literally arrived a day after I received the first season.
The third is Amanchu! Season 1 Collector's Edition Blu-ray which was also ordered from Shop AllTheAnime and its early bird sale. It's a really nice set surprisingly.
All three sets are up on my WP blog throughout this past week in case you missed it! Currently I don't have any more anime on order but given recent events I may tweak my anime plans for a bit, but we'll see.
I so want this, but apparently it feels a little thin without getting anyone to join in

Picked up some stuff at MCM yesterday. Due to the limit per post, this post contains non-blurays.
I picked up Viz's new FMA artbook, and That Time I Got Reincarnated as Yamcha.
And got a free MHA tote from Viz.
I picked up the Sound Euphonium clear files from AL.
And the Liz and the Blue Bird clear file.
I also picked up the two important Sound Euphonium acrylic stands.
Picked up some Rice Digital things between a lucky bag and their 3 for £5 bins.
And got some free Chunibyo Take On Me goodies from Manga UK. Really not sure why these aren't more popular.

And now, the one or two blu-rays I picked up at MCM yesterday.
Code Geass Movie 1 and Fireworks from AL.
Gundam Thunderbolt December Sky and March comes in Like a Lion Season 1 Part 2.
I finally picked up Black Butler Season 3 CE, £20 Con pricing was great. And A Letter to Momo; £15 isn't as good as the £6 FOP P deal earlier this year, but it'll do. in
j
I grabbed Junjo Romantica as well from AL. Looking forward to trying this. Season 2 will have to wait.
mm
I picked up Fate UBW from MVM; I really need to watch Fate.
I have Discotek's already, but I picked up Manga's 5CM Per Second bluray. I also finally grabbed Evangelion 3.33 since it was £6.
And I caved and bought Index II and Railgun S from Manga. They're ****** DVD-sized combo packs, but they were only £20 each and I want to watch them and catch up.

Here's what I got in the Terror in Resonance Ultimate Edition raffle...
Yay!
Slightly annoyed the Amazon delivery guy tried to force it through the letterbox BEFORE trying to knock on the door
My early warning system of our gate opening failed 
This lead to some slight marks on the box. Second time a Amazon delivery guy has done something stupid. All others have been fine.

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I wanted to get the US (or JP) version for Sword Art Online the Movie -Ordinal Scale- but I decided to stick with the UK release in the end, mainly because I couldn't be bothered to spend £50 more for the same sort of set with a few differences.

Wipe the sleepy dust from your eyesI've not long been up so my brain is still calibrating - it took a while to make sense of that poster; all I saw was blue and pink with squigglies at the bottom!

The other came up as "pre order" I have not received word of it as of yet...
I went to check out the HMV in Meadowhall shopping centre and picked up Mandy which came out today exclusively at their store for Blu-ray (DVD is available at other retailers).
Along the way I decided to pick up some more films from the Asian Cinema catalogue since they were available under the 5 for £30 deal. There wasn't a huge range of Asian films under the deal which was annoying, but these films I picked up have been on my radar for a while.
The films chosen are the following:
Feel free to recommend me any films from Japan, Korea, and China. I have watched The Story of Yonosuke back in 2014 so I would love to own that film also.
