Prize Winners for the Ninja Scroll Contest are:
Amanda Cihon
Roman Lavochnik
Pouyan Namakydoust

Prize Winners for the Risky Safety Volume 2 DVD Contest are:

Katherine Schroeder
Seth Garrett
Brandon Coston
Kathleen Barth
Troy Hibbard
Quinn Palmer
Steve Sick
Terry Krepel
Adi Bouskila
Brian Rosa

Some people like to cheat and enter multiple times. I'm sure I don't catch all those that do, for starters I only check the winners. Two of said winners had cheated, so I just picked 2 more people. Your loss if you entered more than once.

The DVDs should be mailed out via Canada Post tomorrow, you should receive them this week.

There should be something in the entering that prevents you from voting more than once. There have been times when I don't enter a contest because I can't remember for the life of me if I've entered already. There must be a cookie or an IP blocker or something out there you can use.

There is.

We set a cookie that keeps people from entering more than once. Some people delete the cookie, others enter from differet computers, etc...

In some cases it may be entirely accidental, but people have to take responsability for their own accidents.

I knew I wouldn't win (as poor as I am) Crying or Very sad
I have the worst luck. Oh well, I will take loss gracefully and be the hardcore fan that I am (I believe that's a pretty nice attitude).

Hey! I just found out I've won. Yay Smile ! I think it's the first time I actually won anything. Anyway, the thing that worries me is that I didn't receive an e-mail confirmation that I won (I found out about it by visiting the website today). Was I supposed to receive one (my e-mail address is [email protected])? Well I guess it doesen't really matter as long as I receive my prize. I live in Bexley, OH. Could you please check if this information is the same as what I entered (It should be). If you need further info like my street address and apartment number I can e-mail it to you (the only reason why I'm writing this is because I didn't receive the e-mail I was supposed to receive. I guess I might've deleted it accidentialy becuase I receive tons of spam so I'm sure everything's alright).
Thanks.

Since we already collected the mailling addresses, I didn't bother to send out e-mails informing people that they had won.

I guess I should have sent out a little note to let people know anyways.

I got my prize today! Yay!

Now if anyone complains about you taking your time to send stuff, you can always say, "The Spatula was patient, and you should be too."

Has there been anything else from Funimation about the Blue Gender BoxSet? Even a "Still in back order" is better than this not knowing...

It's already next week (Monday) but I still haven't received it. Could it be because you are sending it from Canada and I live in USA? Anyway, did anyone else receive their copy yet?
