Been a while since I last did one of these.
High Priorities to Buy: Lupin III: Green vs Red Tenchi Muyo: War on Geminar Both will be coming out in May (well Geminar is apparently as well, though this is unofficial right now), so will definitely make for a nice early birthday gift for myself to splurge on. ![]() Will Get at Some Point: 3x3 Eyes Night Raid 1931 Sound of the Sky Utakata Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl My-Otome Zwei Tenchi Muyo GXP As you can pretty much see, there's not really much I have interest in wishing to snag at the moment considering I've recently started to dig through past anime titles I ditched in the past at some point. So I'm not really sure what else I would want, beyond what I have here, as of yet. |

I don't really have any absolute must-buy shows right now (until Sentai decides to release Hidamari Sketch X Honeycomb on DVD) but there are a number of anime I definitely plan to buy in 2013:
Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl Hyakko Locke the Superman Lupin III: The Mystery of Mamo My Bride is a Mermaid Natsume's Book of Friends season 3 (& 4, which I think is coming in July) Rose of Versailles Venus Wars There are some other NISA titles I may consider buying (in order of likelihood): Bunny Drop Zakuro The Princess and the Pilot Umineko-When They Cry I have not seen any of Hanasaku Iroha yet but I plan to check it out so that may get added to one of these lists. In any case, where NISA is concerned, if they have a title I want I am going to get the premium editions. I am also considering purchasing Bakemonogatari and Nisemonogatari; however, I expect money to be really tight this year so I will have to think hard about getting these. There are also some titles that I will definitely purchase sometime in the future, though it may not be in 2013: Intrigue in the Bakumatsu Kurenai Panty & Stocking Penguindrum Shakugan no Shana season 2-3, S-OVA & movie Shiki With P&S I'm waiting to see if FUNimation puts out a BD/DVD combo in the future (I have a friend I may want to show the dub to who does not have a BD player). I'm not sure why I forgot to pick up Kurenai during the Xmas sale, maybe it will be on sale again this Xmas. With the others I am waiting for prices to go down and/or full season sets to be released. |

@OldCharlie
Locke the Superman is an excellent choice, I'm glad I bought it myself. It's also proof that Discotek isn't just releasing a bunch of old random movies and OVAs that are Mad Bull 34 quality (although they got that one on the basis that it is Mad Bull 34 quality and they've advertised it as an hilarious OVA, and I do so want it), but actually good stuff. Intrigue in the Bakumatsu has me torn. On one hand, I freakin' love Ryosuke Takahashi. On the other, I find this series incredibly difficult to follow. As in I am halfway through the series and can only barely describe the basic plot. I don't think it's one of his stronger works. I'll see if finishing it changes my mind. |

I'm planning to pick up Flowers of Evil and Flowers of Edo on RightStuf with the vertical sale they are having. I'm also curious about Keiko Suenobu's Limit to help fill out my cart, is anyone familiar with the title?

Limit is awesome. I love it. I have the first 3 volumes. It's intense and it can be very harrowing, but if you like drama/survival stories it's very good.

I am considering importing Dennou Coil complete set & Mononoke from Siren Visual. Honestly I have little to no hope that these series will ever be licensed here and they have been on my most wanted list for awhile.
I also WANT Chihayafuru but as that is newer I am still holding out hope it will be picked up here. Also as it is longer it will be more expensive to import. Perhaps I will buy that when a complete set comes out if no one picks that up here. God I am so jealous of Australia. Hey US licensors stop picking up junk and license the gems like this. Finally anyone familiar with siren visual know if they ever have sales on their products? Or is it not worth waiting for that. |

Siren Visual actually had their own 20% off sale back in December (it basically knocked out S/H cost for most international customers). Otherwise you can always keep any eye on online retailers like EzyDVD and JB Hi Fi. |

I definitely missed that, I am guessing it was a Christmas sale then. I don't know it might make sense to wait till Christmas, although not sure if I can be patient until then. Thank you very much for the links. |

Might as well update this to be relevant for 2013. I've pretty much gotten all of my "Need-to-have-now" from FUNimation (I decided against picking up the LE for Lain because the art book doesn't really interest me, plus it would be a blind buy) and Sentai's releases are rarely ever a priority (even if they have series I really want - Penguin Drum, Kids on the Slope) because of how barebones they are (and for series with 2 cours, I'd rather wait for the full complete collection release). Since I'm traveling to Japan in May, I'm trying to limit to series I want that (1) are collector's items/have spiffy releases; (2) are limited. So mainly NISA and Nozomi. Also, Siren Visual has been picking up some series I REALLY want, so those also get high priority.

Oh my
![]() NISA -Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl Premium Edition -AnoHana Premium Edition - Most other Premiums...... eventually. While I really want GCtPG (especially since NISA has sold out at the wholesale level), I am conflicted between AnoHana and Bunny Drop for right now. Since Bunny Drop has been released as a Standard Edition, I am a little worried as to if the Premium Edition will sell out as well. There is no counter or anything, but...... like I said, I am conflicted. Any thoughts? Nozomi -Antique Bakery Limited Edition -Revolutionary Girl Utena Limited Edition Sets 1-3 -Emma: A Victorian Romance Seasons 1-2 Litebox -Junjo Romantica Seasons 1-2 Limited Edition -Maria Watches Over Us Seasons 1-4 Litebox -Rose of Versailles Part 1-2 Limited Edition -Aoi Hana All of these shows peak my interest. Damn it Nozomi :p Section 23 -Penguindrum Collection 2 -Kids on the Slope Complete Collection -Vampire Princess Miyu TV - MAIDEN JAPAN -Colourful: The Motion Picture -Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 Complete Collection Ok, so maybe I do have a decent amount of stuff on my Section 23 list haha! I already have the first part of Penguindrum, so I need to get the second part! I have only heard good stuff about Kids on the Slope, and Colourful: The Motion Picture. Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 seems interesting and controversial, so I'll give that a try. Vampire Princess Miyu TV is a nostalgic choice for me :p! I don't care what anyone says! Just as good as the OVAs. FUNimation -Casshern Sins S.A.V.E. Edition -Chobits - Bluray Anime Classics -Dragon Ball Z Kai Seasons 1-4 -Fairy Tail Collection 1 -Shakugan no Shana Season 2 Parts 1/2 AND Season 3 Parts 1/2 -Tenchi Muyo OVA Collection -Spice and Wolf: The Complete Series -Princess Jellyfish Limited Edition -Summer Wars Oh GOD 0.0 A lot here too. And looking at both Siren Visual and Madman makes me sad ![]() ![]() |

About what Willag said about waiting for Sentai's complete sets for 2 or more cours I think I am going to start doing that too, unless it is an absolute favorite.
I mean I bought the first part of Penguindrum and have the second set preordered but I am completely disappointed in the release. It's just really boring looking and no effort went into it. I mean I know Funi isn't NISA but even they at least have a limited edition box, plus BR/DVD. Of course I will continue to buy 1 cour series from them (looking forward to the Tsuritama release) but I don't think their 2 cour series are worth the money. And come to think of it I feel the same way about Viz. Tiger & Bunny will be the last 2 cour series I buy from them in initial release. Edit: Sentai has licensed a few series (not solicited yet) Uchuu Kyoudai, Shin Sekai Yori that I know I won't have the will power to follow through with the above claim. |

Yeah, I bought the first half of Penguin Drum as well, but I haven't taken it out from it's wrapping. I'm just probably going to sell it to Amazon and pick up the complete collection later. Zac's review of the release left me disappointed at the quality. I knew I wasn't getting much in the way of packaging... to get subs and a dub that are only average ticks me off.
I recognize that Sentai fills in a role in our market. They license a lot of series that are a bit more niche, plus they still provide dubs and BD releases for shows. That still doesn't mean they aren't at the bottom of my list of companies I want licensing the series I really like (i.e. Chihayafuru). They don't provide limited editions with nice packaging, their releases are normally barebones, and while dubs can be a nice bonus they are still just a bonus to me. And it would have to be more than just the ho-hum "well, it's not bad" that Penguin Drum has gotten for me to check it out. FUNi, on the other hand, has lately been putting out releases with dubs that I have quite enjoyed - Princess Jellyfish, Spice and Wolf, Steins;Gate, Shiki. FUNi's LEs may not be as high quality as other companies (in terms of extras or the quality of the packaging/video or the inconsistency of the packaging between BD-sized and DVD-sized), but they are still at least giving it a try and they're quite good for their prices. I've been very pleased with all four of the releases above. |

Well honestly with Chihayafuru I would be happy if any company licenses it, but I am rooting for either NISA or Nozomi.
