The Anime Society 5: Tentacles For All!

Ikr, and that Death Note parody! Didn't really expect that! Or the scene where she's playing *that game* on her DS. Proper awkward as I was watching it with my brother as well. But Tomoki (I think that's her name?) is quite cute - I loved how delusional she is about her popularity! I haven't read the manga, how did the first ep compare?

first 30 episodes are mostly small stories with no real relevance to anything, the next 30 or so episodes after that are amazing.

you should definitely watch Samurai X : Trust and Betrayal first.
it's kind of like a prequel to the anime series.

That's good to hear Second ep is out now, so the question is: what's the verdict for this show - to drop or not to drop?

BTW I have a 3 Crunchyroll 48h guest passes if anyone wants it, PM me your email address/CR user for them!

This video made my day today!

Haha, I ended up buying it for my sister instead, years ago. She did offer to lend the series to me at the time, but I've always had way too many volumes of my own to read.

What's the most anyone here has spent on anime boxset?

I found a brand new Neon Genesis Evangelion Platinum Edition boxset for sale for £70, which is pretty steep but given that NGE is now OOP it might be a reasonable price. I'm really stuck It seems my plan to use my gap year to save money will be thrown out the window and is all being spent on anime >.<

The complete collection of Madlax cost me £50, and that's also the most I've ever spent on a single manga volume (volume 9 of Dr. Slump... which I hear recently got reprinted and now sells for less than £5, including postage ) I think that's more or less my limit, £50 on a single purchase.

Well, as of tomorrow, £37 on Death Note.

However, I am buying this ASAP - http://blueexorcist.com/bluray-box1.php
Comes with the following;

Price in GBP - £92.68 - When I get the money together, buying this for half a series is a lil overkill I will admit. =l
I need this blu ray set, mainly for the art book though. It is limited edition. =P

EDIT:
Didn't even know this was released yet, thought it was released later. =l

£50 on one volume of manga?! I think most I spent was £20 on Fruits Basket Ultimate Collection 2. I'm quite interested in your collection Jellyfish, you seem to do regular purchases - mind showing us a pic of your collection?

£50 is a lot... pretty much every time I order a manga volume over £30, I stop and think about whether it's really worth it, or whether I could put the money to better use... but then I buy it anyway. Manga is my one real indulgence, and I save far more than I spend on it, so I can somehow justify my obsession.

A pic, you say? I could never fit it into one.

Will you marry me?

That depends, how big is YOUR collection?

I'm a bit worried that I'll keep buying long after I run out of shelf space. There's a few gaps here and there, but just finding permanent homes for the volumes I've got piled up near my bed might be a struggle...

Oh my And you own School Rumble! You, sir, have good taste And WOW you actually own a Loveless volume. That manga confuses the crap outta me.

Unfortunately, School Rumble is in the stalled/dropped pile. Not through choice, DelRey/Tanoshimi/Kodansha just decided it wasn't selling enough. There's another six volumes which I don't have, but as much as I enjoyed it, I'd rather spend money on series I know I'll be able to finish. The anime is in my large 'want to watch' backlog, though.

Three Loveless omnibuses (omnibi?), actually, though I've only read two so far. I liked the anime, but the ending (or lack of one) was disappointing, so I took Viz's 2-in-1 releases as an excuse to catch up with the manga instead. I'm following everything so far.

Oh has Kodansha/Del Ray dropped the series? That's one of my biggest pet peeves, when a series is dropped halfway through >.< I would very much recommend the anime though, especially in the english dub - Brandon Potter as Harima Kenji

I think I last read Loveless like 3 years ago - at the time around 80 chapters were out. I was mostly confused by genders in this series. It took me a long while to figure out who were girls and who were boys since everyone looked so androgynous. The plot was good, but it was slow moving so decided to drop it. Is it worth picking up again?
