Anime I want to buy
Anime Relations:
Kidou Tenshi Angelic Layer, Jinki:Extend, Scrapped Princess, FLCL, Shoujo Kakumei Utena, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, Ouran Koukou Host Club, Simoun
A list mostly for personal reference. I decided to clean up my act a little and buy series and movies I've been meaning to. Not right away, but when some things in my personal life settle down a bit, kind of as a reward for sticking it out.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - it's one of my favorites, but the question that's been delaying me is this: should I buy the regular edition (chronological order) or the limited one that comes with discs in broadcast order? I'm thinking regular edition (cheaper, I don't need more random merchandise, and all I have to do is swap discs).
Ouran High School Host Club - not out yet, but it's coming out in two box sets starting late October. Yes.
Simoun
Jinki:Extend - debating whether I just want to buy the first couple discs, which were better, or the whole series. I'll probably get the whole thing if I get any.
Revolutionary Girl Utena - if I can find it. Appears to be out of print. :( Going to skip the movie (still in print) because it was okay but the only part I really want to watch again is the rose garden dance scene.
Scrapped Princess - first fansub I saw, thanks to my cousin. Probably should have bought it long ago, but now there's a cheaper set!
Angelic Layer - I have the first two discs, and want to complete the set if possible (individual discs out of print). On that note, FLCL as well (have the first disc).
Wow. That'll add up. I'm planning to make a trip to the local place that sells used DVDs soon though - sometimes they have decent prices on used anime, but of course selection is limited.
I already own a decent amount of anime, but I'm kind of... cautious about buying things. I want to make sure I'll make use of it (watch it multiple times) first. So I'll go long stretches without buying much, then get something or even a lot of things - most recently, Remi Sans Famille (Ie Naki Ko) from a company in Quebec.
This is also the reason why I don't buy as much merchandise as some fans, even proportionate to the rest of my collection or to my capacity to buy it (somewhat limited).

Having bought all limited editions of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, I'd say - get the first limited edition for the box and CD. The rest of the LEs are a bit of a waste of money... unless you want the pillow covers (volume 3 and 4), the iron on patches, the cd singles, or the cosplay items in it. Otherwise, I'd recommend to get the regular editions ( they're a lot cheaper), as they are pretty much the same - the extra disc doesn't have anything else other than the broadcast episodes. Simoun - I so have to finish getting this series. I only have the first volume, and it's definitely something I have to finish. :) Revolutionary Girl Utena - I heard rumours that the company are taking out a remastered edtion soon, but don't quote me on that... ;P As for me personally, I'd love to get the first Aria collection, coming out this week, even though I have not seen one episode - http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/e=phw1O60=m7VUt-tF/browse/item/80024/4/0/0 Also, the Serial Experiements Lain boxset, which is soon going to be about 30% cheaper here. ... I admit I'm the kind to buy a whole series, practically unseen (apart from perhaps the opening or a preview on a disc). It's how I stumbled across Utawarerumono and Kamichu... I've toned down a whole lot, as my source of income has seriously dwindled lately... |
