The anime thread sequel (it's still not as good as the Manga though),

Yesterdays MVM Christmas deal was Log Horizon, seasons 1 & 2 bundle on BD or DVD ... not bad for £40 for both seasons on BD.
Todays offer is "Rozen Maiden & Traumend Bundle [Contains Series, Ouverture & Zuruckspulen]" on DVD ... think I've got too much Rozen Maiden already to justify this on DVD.

AlltheAnime is of course at the blind box stage ...

The Blu-ray Collector's Edition Mystery Box
You get 7 mystery Blu-ray Ltd Collector's Edition sets
(plus some bonus goodies) for only £39.99

Limited to 500 pieces. Contains items "worth over £360"

And an equivalent item for DVD.

I must admit to loading the ATA page up at 9am and refreshihng several times (seeing yesterdays offers go - i think noein was last to drop off), then the DVD box go up, followed by the BD one.

I ordered the blu-ray box as it only needs one or two of the 7 items to be things i'm interested in or haven't got to break even and last years box was well worth.

So far the anime offers have ended up with me buying.
Giovanni's Island Collectors edition blu-ray £10
absolute duo blu-ray £15
tenchi muyo ova collectors edtion blu-ray £20 (anime-on-line offer).
rage of bahamut collectors edition blu-ray £15
009 Re:Cyborg ltd edition blu-ray £5
Noein Blu-ray collection £5
mystery box £40

So rather more than I'd hoped, but rather less than I feared, or could easily have spent (I could easily have spent another £100+ but I'd set myself a budget).

Sword Art Online Season 1 BD
Gatchaman Crowds Season 1 BD
Soni-Ani: Super Sonico the Animation Complete Collection DVD
Little Busters Season 1 Collection BD
RE-KAN! Complete Collection DVD
Ambition of Oda Nobuna Collection DVD
Sakura Trick Collection DVD

Photo Kano Collection BD
A Lull in the Sea Complete Series Collector's Edition BD

Your Name (Japanese release) BD

Tbh I can't remember buying some of them let alone whether I've watched them or not! I will be getting several other things over the festive season which has impacted on my ability to buy some things now. Edit actually there's a couple more things than that as i know I got the Certain Magical Index movie as well but must have not bought it online as it's not showing up in a quick search.

Now if I were to include other non-anime Japanese media then the list would be quite a bit longer

Sankari · 12 Dec 2017 at 23:23

Finished season two of Shingeki no Kyojin today. Bloody hell! :eek:

This series is just incredible. The only other anime that comes close to it for raw, visceral brutality and intensity is Shigurui.

memyselfandi · 13 Dec 2017 at 10:36

Anime-on-lines Christmas offer today is

Familiar of Zero Season's 1-4 Bundle

On BD and DVD at £39.99/£29.99 respectively.

Alexrose1uk · 13 Dec 2017 at 12:23

I've not had much chance to watch recently, but I have finally watched a bit of Beserk (original version), and recently watched Overlord. I was watching 12 Kingdoms but really struggled with it, very slow.

I have managed to see a few Japanese bits in the cinema recently though; Blade of the Immortal live action last night, and Lu over the Wall a few weeks ago (which was strange!), and a few other films earlier in the year.

Really bored with Sword Art Online, especially after the film. Mary Sue Online more like!
Overlord has a similar premise, but I found it much more enjoyable.

pecnarf · 13 Dec 2017 at 14:28

12 kingdoms does start off very slow but it does pick up the pace little over quarter of the way thought the series.

Sankari · 14 Dec 2017 at 06:59

Finished Ushio to Tora, and Mob Psycho 100 (written by ONE, the same guy who gave us One Punch Man).

Now watching Drifters. Only two episodes in, and I'm hooked! Such a shame it's only 12 episodes.

Sankari · 14 Dec 2017 at 07:01

Kyo said:
Not heard of Claymore or Ray=out so will check it out.

You've got to watch Claymore, it is one of my all time favourites. I wish they had made a second season.

Werewolf · 14 Dec 2017 at 07:05

Aye I think the Claymore anime finished quite a long way before the Manga did

And I still haven't read the manga, despite having the big box for over a year now (I haven't had much chance).

memyselfandi · 14 Dec 2017 at 16:05

Hmmm ... think AlltheAnime might be having logistical problems with the 12 days of Christmas orders given the emails this afternoon ...

pecnarf · 14 Dec 2017 at 16:57

yep I received the same email twice for Day #11 promotion and Day #09 promotion. and the Day #5 promotion that I order turn up in post today.

memyselfandi · 14 Dec 2017 at 17:06

Yes, I had emails for #9 and #11 as well. Not received anything though but our post around here has been absolutely abysmal recently.

Sasahara · 14 Dec 2017 at 19:46

Yes I think their fulfilment house may be a bit over loaded. Looks like the 12 days promotion accounted for over 25% of their years orders.

pecnarf · 14 Dec 2017 at 21:21

well I think in might be day 9 promotion onwards which will have a delay, as I've just got email confirming day #7 promotion I order has been dispatched.

Werewolf · 14 Dec 2017 at 21:28

I had my day 5 order shipped yesterday, so hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow.

memyselfandi · 14 Dec 2017 at 21:38

My day #5 shipped on the 11th, at least that's when I got the shipment email ... but yes that's how bad the post is here at the moment (I'm also currently waiting for a letter which was sent 1st class from within Nottingham several days ago as well)

edit: Ah my #5 package finally turned up today along with one of my Anime-on-line packages (interestingly both packages have the same returns address sticker on them)

Werewolf · 19 Dec 2017 at 09:16

Today's Anime on line offer is 5 mystery BD's (running time 1625 minutes) for £30.

I've taken a punt
