Today was a nice day. As I was minding my business, I took notice of a guy, holding two boxes, coming up to my house. These turned out to contain orders which had finally come through (hell, one of the things had been ordered once before, nearly five months prior to its delivery). All of these were shows, and quite hard to come by in these part.
The shows were:
-Rozen Maiden & Träumend, saw some episodes a while back, and fell in love with some of the dolls (Hina Ichigo in particular).
-Fate/Stay night, a good show, what else is there to say.
-Tsukihime, it was decent (apparently the VN/manga is superior, but I haven't read those yet), and I just couldn't leave it for the price it went for (€23).
-Kara no Kyokai 6 (oblivion recorder), just three more before it's complete.
-Rin, Daughters of Mnemosyne, this one was bought on a whim, haven't seen it yet but it might be interesting.
-The Skullman, (points to avatar) big fan, that is all.
-Fullmetal Alchemist (2003-2004 series) + Conqueror of Shamballa, loved this show, so I couldn't pass it on.
-Aika, not something I'd normally buy, but well, this is some childhood nostalgia (saw it way back in the day on Canal +, actually, now that I think about it, it might've been one of the first anime series I've seen).
-Thundercats, the one I was looking forwards to the most. I initially ordered it on another site, and after five months I got the message that it was cancelled (unable to deliver). So I ordered it somewhere else and less that 24 hours later I had it in my possession.
Had a bit of a scare after popping in a disc though, some of the series were US and it seemed my DVD player was region locked. Fortunately there was a code to change the regio (it's region-free now ), just have to connect it to my other TV to get colour (due to the NTSC output).
All in all, a nice day .
