Not specifically anime, but it was acquired for the use of watching anime. A Roku 3. Which, for right now, is being used solely for Crunchyroll since I don't have a subscription with other sites.
It's not that I can't connect my laptop to my television and watch anime like that - I did do that. Naw, I spent this $100 for the comfort of being able to control everything using a remote. And why the most expensive Roku on the market currently? Because I can plug my earphones into the remote. Most of my anime watching happens at night, and I live with people who go to bed early at 9:30 PM. And my Crunchyroll watching has gone up quite a bit now that I have this device. Convenience = lazier willag 
Any other Roku apps worth taking a look at? |

That came in the mail yesterday while I was at work. It's the Black Rock Shooter TV Limited Edition set. Ever since Funimation talked about how difficult licensing the show would be because of Max Factory's involvement i.e. forcing them to release a figure if they wanted to do a BD (like Italy), I figured my best bet was to just get it from Japan. Luckily it's still available a year later, especially since the exchange rate is ~99:1 instead of, like, ~75:1 like it was when it was first released. Unless some remastered Slayers BD box sets with the dub are announced, this should be my last big import for a while. I might start getting TV series again at some point, but after the Gurren Lagann BD ($440) set, this set ($240), a couple figures, and the various things I'm getting locally, my bank account needs a break. |

Well, Otakon is done destroying my wallet, so I figure I'll post up what I all bought there.
Gurren Lagann BD set (TKoH, how'd you get it so cheap? This was $550, and that's as cheap as I could find it from either TRSI or Amazon too) the special Madoka nendie GSC was selling at their booth the special Miku nendie from the same the TLR Venus artbook an Otakon shirt an Otakon tumbler, perfect for some scotch drinking when I get home a wall scroll from la recherche du futur perdu. I've never heard of this particular VN, but I figured I needed some smut on my walls. It's an eroge, so the wall scroll isn't what one would call safe for work 3 hentai titles. Aki Sora, Dark Love, and Venus 5. Because I felt I needed more hentai in my life. At any rate, I wound up spending a good deal more than I planned, but that's alright. I've been pretty responsible with my spending all year, I can accept having a month where things get a little crazy. GSC did me a "favor" by delaying Insane Black Rock Shooter once again, so my figure expense this month is a good deal cheaper anyways. |

What? On Amazon JP it's 40320 minus taxes right now, which is combined 36% off, and with current exchange rate of ￥96.18 : $1 is only $419. $440 with shipping.
My order was 30% off for 44015 and the exchange rate then was ￥99.31 : $1, so I paid $443.21. $463 after shipping. It's notably cheaper now than when I bought it. Sooooooo yea. EDIT: Oooooooooh! You only used Amazon US didn't you? Silly Sailor, you have to browse Japanese retailers for the best prices on Japanese releases. |

I was also at Otakon and got a lot of fun too!
Manga Flower of Life 4 (I got 3 copies because I knew 3 people who needed one. One person was at Otakon, but stuck in the Yoko Kanno line, so I picked it up for her) GTO 14 Days in Shonan 5, 6, 9 (completed my set) Helter Skelter (out early for Otakon) Kamisama Kiss 12 Kaze Hikaru 9, 15, 19 Old Boy 3-5,7,8 (ordered 6 online before the con) Palette of 12 Secret Colors 1,2,5,6 (I ordered 3 and 4 online before the con) Tegami Bachi 12 Twin Knight Utsubora Wolfsmund 1 Anime Betterman (clear proof I was not at the Sentai panel, though I did get the 6 singles for $35, most of the Bandai Legends sets around the dealer's room were $50 if you were lucky, but usually $80 or higher, especially Gundam) Birdy the Mighty: Double Trouble (I see the price for part 2, ahahaha, no, but this was $5 in shrink) Black (eps 7 and 9) Cromartie High School (Live Action) Patlabor 1 movie (Honneamise special ed) Patlabor 2 movie (Honneamise special ed, $15 each) Other Basara artbook (the red cover) RahXephon Bible (actually ordered online before the con) Vertical bag (for buying a certain amount of awesome from them) 3 Cell charms (an orange lucky cat, Sableye, and Giant Robo) 8 catnip toys (artist alley, $1 each, reek of catnip, cat loves 'em!) Rarity t-shirt (has the cutie mark in the corner, more stealthy, I like it that way) Grumpy Cat shirt (for my mom) Oddly enough, I spent only a bit less than I did last year. I clearly got way less manga (last time I got like 50), but I spent a bit more on certain items (like the Basara artbook for $30) |

My friend was kind of interested in Kaze Hikaru so I ordered him volume 1,2 and 3 to get him started. Hopefully he'll like it... its a good manga, just slow.
edit: ^^^ Oooh, seems I'm not the only one who's reading it, haha... |

Eh, sawing across the spine doesn't annoy me all that much. This disc I got is sawn across the spine. But paying 4,500 for a two ep disc? Clearly that you should be a crime, not even Aniplex charges that much. |

I'm really glad I bought both of those volumes when they were OOP but still available. I think I only paid like $4 per volume...
