    • Another merch alert inbound!

    I really should stop buying so much merch, though. Not good for my wallet.


    This time it's a PVC keychain featuring the 5th best* character in Negima!, Evangeline Athanasia Katherine McDowell. The 500 some year old vampire.
    Spoiler:


    *Actually, she might be 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, or even 10th best; there's a lot of great characters in the series.

    • Got Naruto Unleashed: Complete Series One the other day...I have never seen it before, but while I was browsing anime dvds on Amazon, from the description and reviews, it looks quite good :) Look forward to watching it!

    • Natsuiro Kiseki manga vol. 1 and vol. 2 (vol. 3 is incredibly rare). Both are in Japanese, since neither the manga nor the anime have been licensed here. And that makes me sad.

    But at least I can admire the art in the manga :P

    • Japanese volumes can get pretty pricey stateside, I've found, at least when looking for series I'm interested in. Those must have been pretty expensive!



    Mostly copy/pasting from my post in /r/anime's merch thread for this post because too lazy to write out a proper post for PC:

    So, I went to Barnes & Noble's Manga Mania this morning and got some free posters. Not really a whole lot that I'm seriously interested in aside from the Hatsune Mix one, but they were free, so I happily amassed some. Album: http://imgur.com/a/wt6l6

    I also picked up 28 volumes of manga, 3 light novels, and the 2 freebie manga samplers from Viz and Kodansha that they were handing out. Album here: http://imgur.com/a/qOflL

    Bonus pic of where about half my manga is: https://i.imgur.com/djuT1RF.jpg

    Also, an album with some non-anime/non-manga merch pics mixed in that might amount to what I'm pretty sure is about half of my A&M collectibles/volumes: http://imgur.com/a/fQATi

    • I know the feeling - My japanese sucks, but I want to purchase all Utsuro no Hako to zero no Maria light novels because these weren't licensed.

    Actually, I ordered from CDJapan and they were really inexpensive, only 533 yen each. With shipping, it came out to just under 2000 yen, which ended up being about $16 and some change in US dollars.

    I was at a local anime convention this past weekend but didn't buy anything because they didn't have a really good dealer's room. There was one figurine that I would have gotten except I already have the same one, and paid half the price it was going for from the vendor. Other than that, nothing caught my interest.

    I did get a free Hello Kitty sticker that a con-goer placed on my con badge though :P

    That's actually cheaper than I expected.


    Was it a small or a new con? Their dealer rooms have tended to be lackluster in my area, too. The big cons in my area have huge dealer areas, though.

    I was surprised too.

    It was their fourth year, fifth if you count a small on-campus con under a different name as year 1, since it was basically the same people running it. This year, it was probably bordering on being medium-size. There were about 1700 people last year, but this year (same location) there were major overcrowding and parking issues, so I wouldn't be surprised if attendance was at least 2500-3000 this past weekend. The dealer's room shared space with the artist's alley (the "marketplace"), and about 2/3 of that space was artists.

    Maybe next year there will be more dealers to match the larger attendance.



    Anyway, bought 4 books off of my brother last night:
