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

I had season 1 for ages ... but the complexity of all the different names and not really knowing what came before what always put me off from getting more. I had put various elements in my basket on Amazon several times when its been on offer but never pulled the trigger. I now should have all of the elements listed.

That's pretty much the identical reason I've not got back into it, I think I saw a few but I struggle with series like that where you've got numerous interlinked titles that may or may not run alongside each other.
 
Definitely found the AoL offers to be very hot and miss this year ...
Fortunately for me that's the case:)
I could probably have splashed a couple of hundred more so far, but apart from a couple of pre-orders (Toradora and Shamploo blu-rays) and the mystery box nothing has been grabbing me as "now, now now" :) given i'm trying to show more restraint than last year (I'm not sure I've managed given ATA's funi clearance).
 
I just this minute received my Red and Blue Alltheanime mystery boxes and I'm really chuffed with them, only two titles I'd already got on blu-ray, and several that I'd been meaning to get.

Red box:
Angelic Layer
K Missing Kings
Kiznaiver (already got)
Pigtails & other short stories
Rokka: Braves of the six flowers

Blue box:
Amanchu! season 1
Genius Party & Genius Party beyond
K: return of kings
Re: Zero part 1
Your Name steelbok (already got).

Both boxes also had a tea towel, a selection of postcards (including one of the cover for the Perfect Blu collectors edition), and a booklet.

I'm really happy with that as I've nearly bought Angelic layer, Rokka and Genius party multiple times, and I've been meaning to get Re: Zero.

I also received my Gunsmith Cats kickstarter premium set :D

hmmm ... not to bad, I've definitely got some of those but I think only on DVD not on BD.

Checking; haven't got one of them and of the other four only have one on BD already (from last years 12 days)
Pretty much the same here, except I've only got one of them any any format:)

I've been lucky with the bundles so far this Christmas (not so lucky with the summer/clearance ones).

I also received my ATA framed pictures yesterday (Summer Wars and Faye), (un?)fortunately by the time I spotted them on they day they went up Asuka was sold out (although that's possibly not a great one for someone my age to put on a wall:p).
 
What I'm hoping to do when I redecorate my computer/hobby room is put up a "gallery" style hanging system on one wall so I can change the pictures I've got up easily without having to make more holes in the wall:)
At the moment I've got a bit of an odd mix of Anime and Discworld, with an A2 "Danger girls" lithograph (which is now about 25 years old), and 3 or 4 more that I've had sat waiting to go up for 4 or 5 years.
 
My 2019 purchases were relatively few.

A relatively light year, partly because I was having trouble getting the time to watch anime especially new/sub only stuff (I've got a backlog of blu-rays to watch, let alone streaming), and partly because I ended up spending quite a lot on wargaming models (I've got pretty much the full range of the Hellboy game to paint, same for the new Dredd one, kickstarted the battletech one, and that's in addition to my Wh40K stuff).
 
I ended up ordering pretty much all the remaining funi titles i hadn't got on the last day of ATA's clearance.
All I've managed to actually watch in the last month was Carole & Tuesday on netflix, hopefully I'll manage to actually start watching some next week (we've been having decorating done which should be finished Friday).
 
Just received the final MVM Christmas mystery bundle ...

Sagrada Reset
Scums Wish
And You Thought There is Never a Girl Online
Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle
I couldn't Become a Hero, so I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job. Yusibu

hmmm .... I don't have the first two but do have the others already.
I forgot to post I received that set yesterday, pretty pleased with it as I'd only got "...girl online" so I'm quite happy with it.

I'm still waiting for the funi titles from ata. but at the moment given I've not managed to watch any of the stuff that has arrived in the last month I'm not too fussed:p
 
I'm probably going to have to do either that or buy some more DVD wallets/sleeves for a lot of mine at some point when I redecorate the room, hopefully later this year. I'm considering putting rails in some standard drawers spaced to take the sleeves from those "dj boxes", as it seems a good way to store a load of discs whilst allowing more to be added in just by adding additional sleeves and shuffling them a little. I'm loathe to get rid of a lot of my older DVD's that I've replaced with blu-rays, as in a lot of cases the licence has changed so the extras from the original releases may not be available on the new versions:(
I am starting to avoid buying collectors editions etc unless they really are favourite titles as it's so much harder to condense them.

I receive a couple of bit's I'd ordered from AOL in their new year's sale this morning (Fruits basket set 1 and Sword Oratoria on the side).
 
That A__a kickstarter looked great, and that is a ton of extras.
I need to put one of my A__a ltho's up again (I took it down due to lack of space and having another one), I'm hoping that ATA or MVM will release the blu-rays over here, even if just as a simple disc only release as I'd love to have them in high def (especially with a decent English dub*).
I think I've said before, the only reason I didn't back it at the time was because I don't want to muck around with multi region blu-ray players:( (I've already got hundreds of R1 DVD's I'm a little worried about playing in the future).

I just got an SMS from ATA and got a bit excited about a shipment being on it's way, it turns out it's just the Lupin collection, not the huge Funi order:p (I think I ended up ordering ~15 funi titles).


*That would make it perfect, as A__a is one of those series that you just sit back and utterly relax in it's Valium like calm.
 
I'm slightly jealous :p

On a different note, my first ATA Funi order shipped yesterday, so hopefully it'll arrive today :D
I've also been sorting my orders from December out, so far the mystery boxes and a handful of other items that have arrived have nearly filled an 18L really useful box :eek:
 
I think I'm still waiting on Lucky Stars (ordered day 5?) and some that were ordered pretty much at the end of the clearance sale.

I've been watching Wolf's Rain and really enjoying it again, so many details I'd forgotten as it's been years since i watched it (I've been putting it off for 5+ years waiting to get the blu-rays).
 
It's a good series although it's flow is interrupted a bit by the filler episodes about 2/3 of the way through, where apparently they got quite behind so did 3 or 4 episodes that were basically "the story so far" with a little new material, then had to add 4 episodes to the end of the series.
I remember people not being amused that when the single discs were coming out they basically had a disc of recaps.

Talking of unwatched discs, I realised I've still got a box of anime from last year that I haven't managed to see yet (mainly sub only*), which is a bit concerning given the big box of anime I picked up over Christmas :p



*We've been very slowly decorating so I've not had much time to spend the time concentrating on subs when tired:(
 
You're in for a treat I think :)

I'm just hitting the last few episodes of Wolf's Rain, but decided to stop at the end of disc 3 (ep 27) because I don't want to risk missing any details and was getting sleepy:)

After that It's probably going to be something comedic from my December buys, or possibly Fruits Basket set one:)
 
I'm tempted by Wing, but at the moment my wallet is still recovering from Christmas, and I've only watched two of the series I got from that so far (well, Wolf's Rain and most of Castle Town Dandelion).

In case anyone is interested Parasyte the Maxim collectors editions are about £20 each from Amazon and Zavvi.
 
I ordered Terror in Rsonance from ATA on Tuesday and it arrived today!
Apparently they're expecting to clear the Funi sale orders by around mid March, I suspect they must have been utterly swamped but also possibly giving them a lower priority than non funi orders (which makes sense).

I watched my first "mystery box" item, the Rokka set which I really enjoyed as it turned out to be very different from what I was expecting in the first episode (it reminded me of "they were eleven" in some ways), and I ended up watching it in 3 nights:)

Next up is probably going to be Zombieland saga as that arrived the other day:)
 
I just received the Plastic Memories blu-rays from ATA this morning:D
I was a little surprised when I took volume one out and found volume two underneath it as I was expecting them to ship separately (although looking at the site they're only about a week or two apart for release).

I've also received a slightly cryptic email from animeonline about an order shippin (the order reference but not contents), which looks like it's part two of fruits basket :)

And in anime I'm watching, Zombieland saga is proving to be very fun so far, with Tae being brilliant :)

Ye gods ... actually received the last of the Funimation sell off things from All the Anime as part of their sale back in december. Of course no actual shipping notification or anything ... just turned up.
Ah, hopefully mine will arrive soon then!

When did you order if you don't mind me asking?


I've been watching the K-Project and it's sequels which i'm enjoying, although I think they may have changed director or something after the first series, as the film and second season seem to have a lot more panty shot angles, and bust shots.
