Last Month's Releases

Manga releases appear more interesting than the anime ones this week. Go Shokugeki no Souma.

Assassination Classroom, Shokugeki no Souma, and Spice & Wolf has my interest.

Here's hoping Archonia will import Devilman, oh how much I'd love that.

Also getting Ranma BD Set 4 and I might get The Little Norse Prince because Isao Takahata reasons.

Cowboy Bebop, Slam Dunk and Ranma 1/2.

Since when did Funi get Slam Dunk? I thought they were done with the sports genre after Big Windup failed...

Agreed I was also surpsied to see that it is dubbed whihc is rare for a sports anime.

This kinda give me hope for YowaPeda and Kuroko if the North American anime market is going to give the sports genre another chance.

Please ;_;

Oh, wait, Free S2's getting treatment.

Just the Fairy Tail volume for me this month, came in last Saturday.

I might try buying some things from my backlog if I can find them on sale though...

No Monster Rancher/Farm, god damn it Discotek, so much for 2014 release.

Looks like I'll be buying a lot of manga this month.

Citrus FTW!

Itazura na Kiss and cowboy bebop good times.
also Haganai: I Don't Have Many Friends - Club Minutes

itazura na kiss. i was just thinking I wish there was a NA release for it.

now that's just magic.

I didn't mention Free! cause its popular and it has a big fandom in the US unlike Slam Dunk, YowaPeda, and Kuroko

Cowboy Bebop standard edition blu ray is preordered.

Both the FUNimation and Amazon special editions are sold out by the way.
