is the quality of one peace books good? never bought from them but i was looking to pick up shield hero manga last night myself, but i was not sure if i should just go digital in case the book quality was poorToday from Amazon (had to use prime) I had to buy this because my Bose QC25 noise cancelling headphones audio cable had got broken and bent after 2 years(Found it broken last night) .So. I bought a replacement cable.This is just the box they came in though.
Was an emergency spend as family is coming over tomorrow and we are going out over the weekend(I am extremely sound/ noise sensitive).Much better than Ear defenders for me as the headphones don't crush my head and are really light.View attachment 7973

Anime Limited got hold of some leftover stock of the LE & SE Blu-rays, the Fanbook and the Light Novel so put them up in their Easter Sale.Ooh, what's up with all the Time of Eve swag in here all of a sudden - is there a sale or a re-stock going on? I love that movie, it's one of the first anime I always show to any of my anime newbie friends, to help get them started. I have both the LE and SE releases from the original Pied Piper 2013 Kickstarter, along with the fan book and Another Act, plus a few more goodies:
Top row: Time of EVE fan book, Time of EVE: Another Act light novel, Chayama Ryusuke art book, additional 2014 image on post card included with art book.
Bottom Row: A4 Nagi illustration on heavy card stock, A4 Sammy illustration on heavy card stock, Time of EVE clear file.

The anime follows it's source material quite nicely, the script is definitely not with much of an issue (aside the usual phenomen of ending in the middle of nowhere, but the manga kinda went to nowhere later one anyway, so duh) and the VA are well chosen as well. But the direction both in visuals and sound and general quality just... well, let's say it was rather disappointing. I guess it's better if you don't know the original, but the Manga's visuals managed way better and poignant presentation/pacing.I actually liked the Skip Beat! anime, even though it was a little excessive in comedy parts for me, which I don't care for, but the story was good - but yeah, I wish it had a continuation from where it left off.
thanks very much for the detailed response its appreciatedNot sure if this will help as I didn't really know what to say but:
EDIT 1: I personally find the paper quality of the books "fine "but can't decide if their weaker than Viz's or not I just feeling between the two but can't really tell but I think Viz and the OTP Del Rey Tsubasa books which I tried against are stronger. The cover and backs in comparison don't have the glossy(is that the right word?) shiny material like that of Viz's Manga but more of a softcover(Same for the LN). Also don't feel like they will fall apart and feel quite study to me.
Also noticed with the Manga Of Shield Hero the books are a bit shorter in terms of height when comparing the spines to other single Volume Manga .
I think in some reviews people complained about translation and grammar issues in the Manga but it's all made sense to me although I have noticed one Mistake so far "Naofumi misspelt as " Nafoumi"once in Volume 3 of the Manga.
Strangely chapters are not page numbered at all in the Manga ,their titles are listed though which is rather odd and little annoying.But other than that I find them personally good.
EDIT 2: Thinking about it again, I think the presentation is much nicer in other Manga judging from what I've read recently that I have read in the way it's laid out Viz,Del Rey etc looks and feels better to me.But I mostly buy physical as I don't really like Digital so it doesn't bother me.
You are welcome ^_^.thanks very much for the detailed response its appreciatedi think ill buy a volume and see how it goes, i really do like my physical collection just in the past had some awful quality books that ive had to turn digital for a few, thank you!
Don't get coffee and crisp crumbs on the purple pile!I want to make a little Time of EVE cafe in my theater room, just wish I had a little more space to do it in...
