Okay, so, I'm curious as to what all of you have bought recently! Manga, anime, collectible merch, it's all cool to post! I just really wanna know what you've bought recently!


As for me, I bought the following 13 English volumes on Saturday:
Spoiler:


That's Durarara!! Yellow Scarves Arc Volume 2, Fairy Tail volumes 8-12, Haganai Club Minutes (a side volume), Nisekoi 7, Girls und Panzer volume 2, and Dragonar Academy 1-4.

I also picked up 3 other volumes about 2 weeks ago, but I've already forgotten which ones those were.

So how about you? What did you buy recently? Is it as recklessly financially irresponsible as my own splurge? Or is it much more modest and sensible?
whoops

I don't get to buy anything often because everything here in NZ is too damn expensive for my liking.

However sometimes I'm lucky when the main library has a sale since there are often some good anime/manga finds in there for $1-3 dollars. I'll also sometimes buy anime or merch whenever there's a con, but that happens only once a year.

Recently was able to pick up the first volume of Haibane Renmei at the library for $1. I was also incredibly lucky to pick up 8 dvds of Ghost in the Shell (since I have been meaning to watch it) for around $3.50 each and all seem to be in good quality which is awesome.

Haven't bought anything merch-wise recently. The last thing I can think of that I bought was an SnK hoodie at the last con, but that was like in June last year.

This Enoshima Junko figure from Danganronpa. :)
Spoiler:
Nice! Looks like it was expensive. :P

And I like how the bear is doing the same pose she is.

Recent purchases:

Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods [Blu-ray/DVD]
Yu-Gi-Oh! Bonds Beyond Time [Blu-ray]

Two of my all-time favorite anime series~
ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF DRAGON BALL Z: YUGI MOTOU FINDS THE HEART OF THE CARDS AND DEFEATS GOKU TO WIN THE DRAGONBALLS.

But seriously what I've seen of those series has been pretty okay. A bit fun, actually.

I purchased Card Captor Sakura's manga, which I deeply love.
Which volumes?

Ghost in the Shell is a fun one. Pretty nice deal on them, too. Usually they might fetch a bit more than that.






Anyway, splurged once again on 7 more volumes of manga:

Spoiler:


Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer vols 1 & 2 omnibus, Monster Hunter Orage vols 2-4, Gakuen Polizi vol 1, The Garden of Words, and Ani-Imo vol 1. Maybe I'll get around to reading them by the time March rolls around, haha. Got a nice, big 25 volume and 2 light novel backlog for reading right now.

Okay! Where to start 8D'''

Recently I bought all 13 volumes of the Haikyuu Manga, a Haikyuu Desktop calendar (and schedule stickers) and Haikyuu Clearfile folders (Is anyone picking up a pattern here, yet?).

As for none Haikyuu related goods, I bought Volume 1 and 2 of Yowapeda and a Horimiya book cover.

Living in japan is really dangerous for my bank account 8D'''

80€, but totally worth it, I loved Danganronpa, especially Junko. :p
I'm thinking of getting Yaya from Unbreakable Machine-doll and Kirito from Sword Art Online (1st season ofc). But there's no €€ now. ;.;

I haven't bought any anime or manga in quite some time. I usually watch stuff on Netflix or borrow anime and manga from my local library.

However, last year I bought a Kyubey plush for my friend's birthday. I think it costed about 60 dollars on ebay due to being imported, but that's okay cuz she's

.
All of them. I'm a big CLAMP fan. There's an omnibus edition of 4 volumes, that's the one I got! :)

More than recommendable.

While I was a big fan of Dragon Ball Z when I was younger, I never really got into the original, so I figured I'd change that by picking up the first 4 seasons of the original Dragon Ball on DVD. Granted, there are only 5 seasons, but the store I went to only had the first 4. Luckily, they said that another nearby one had a few copies of the 5th season DVDs in stock, so I'll probably go and pick that up sometime this weekend to complete the collection.

Spoiler:
Why would you put that evil on anyone. WHY.

Spoiler:
Actually now I kinda want one for myself.




Anyway, picked up 4 more books this weekend and ordered a few earlier in the week that are now starting to arrive. First to arrive was Love Hina: The Novel Volume 2 on Friday.
Spoiler:


Next to arrive were Love Hina: The Novel Volume 1 and Mao-chan Volume 2 on Saturday.
Spoiler:


And then I went to Barnes & Noble to return a duplicate copy of Girls und Panzer volume to and pick up some more volumes. Ended up grabbing 3 volumes of Pokemon Adventures: Diamond and Pearl Platinum as well as Zero's Familiar Chevalier volume 4.

Spoiler:


I also picked up a bunch of Pokemon stuff that I've posted in the Pokemon General "Show Your Collection" thread, too. Plus a few things I'll be posting to the TCG section "Look What I Just Got!" thread later.

I should actually play my copy of Persona 4.

Anyway, this arrived in the mail today:

Spoiler:


I now have the book for everything that's been English licensed that Ken Akamatsu had a hand in. At least, I'm 99% certain. I don't count the omnibuses since they're basically reprints of the original series. Let me run down the list:

Love Hina LNs (volumes 1 and 2)
A.I. Love You volumes (1-8)
Love Hina volumes (1-14)
Mao-chan 1 and 2
Negima! (1-38)
UQ Holder! (1-3)
Negiho! (1)
Negima!? Neo (1-7)

Is there more? I think that's everything.

I haven't gone to the bookstores since September. I'm waaaay behind my manga volumes. :v

I did pick up a couple of Pokemon figures, as well as a bunch of fan-merch from the last convention.

OH HI THERE FOLKS LOOK AT MY NEWEST MANGA VOLUME HAUL!

Spoiler:


A TOTAL OF 47 VOLUMES FOR THE PRICE OF NEARLY 1 MILLION IDR, BUT THERE'S A 30% DISCOUNT RIGHT NOW SO IT COSTS ME 663K IDR INSTEAD!

THEY BECAME CHEAPER THAN ANY OF THE VOLUMES I'VE BOUGHT SINCE 2009!

ADDING 47 VOLUMES TO MY MANGA COLLECTION AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA ineedalife

Marvel at it. MARVEL AT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I'VE SPENT ON THESE! the whole total without the discount can get me at least 2 3DS cartridges and that's saying something.

Spoiler:
It is pretty risque if you see what I think you're seeing in it, haha. :P

I think it could be better, but that's probably because I see so much merch at the cons I've been to, haha.

I kinda want one of those now where did you get it?

I know how being that far behind feels, haha. Pokemon merch has its own thread in Pokemon General that needs love, otherwise I'd tell you to post it all here because I'm always hungry for merch posts.

Holy hell 47 volumes at once is insanity! I'd have to save for weeks to get that many in one go at those prices here!



Anyway, got some more merch in this past week:

First up, a My-Hime volume! Volume 5, so that rounds out my collection of that. It's an okay but not great series, IMO.
Spoiler:


Next up is a figurine book thingy that I thought was actually gonna be figurines, whoops. Was just $2 or so, though, so no big deal.
Spoiler:


And finally we have Haruhi-chan volumes 8 and 9. Those came today.
Spoiler:


I think I've got 4 more books coming tomorrow, too, but those haven't arrived yet so I'm not posting them yet.

You talking about the manga? If it's in English who picked it up? Can't find an English publisher listed anywhere on its MAL page.



Anyway, guess what I received in the mail yesterday? 4 more manga volumes!

Black Cat volumes 11, 12, and 13, as well as Haganai 10.
Spoiler:


Still got several volumes to go before I complete Black Cat. Probably just over halfway at this point.
