Another victim of Sentai's Memorial Day Massacre.

Snafu 1 and 2
Utawareuomo False Faces
The World God Only Knows total collection
Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat
One Week Friends
Love Lab
Pet Girl of Sakurasou complete collection
Momokuri
Invaders of the Roku
Himawari 1 and 2
Golden Time 1 and 2

All DVDs, which is fine especially when its dub only shows that aren't visual feasts. 40 dollars more than I meant to spend but I couldn't cut it down any further.

As my birthday's tomorrow, got an early birthday gift with a $25 Amazon gift card. Just used it to snag up Ice and Comet Lucifer on DVD.

May Purchases - All purchases from RightStuf.

1. Heroic Legend of Arslan Part 1-2
2. Steins;Gate the Movie Load Region of deja vu

Picked up above during RightStuf's Funimation sale a few weeks ago.

3. Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Season 2 LE.
Used a 10% off coupon. Took the price down to $96.18 which is a few dollars less than what I paid for the first set.

Manga
I bought the My Little Monster series last year. Other than that, I haven't bought a single volume of manga in almost 10 years. I don't really collect manga and I have less than 10 complete series. I restricted myself a long time ago to buying shoujo series only and only those that are complete. Because of the VIZ sale, I decided to dip into it again a bit. I got a little carried away (made three separate orders and it's the most manga I ever bought), but I won't let myself start collecting because I don't have the space.

Order 1
1. Dawn of the Arcana Vol. 1-13
2. Strobe Edge Vol. 1-10

Order 2*
1. Full Moon wo Sagashite Vol. 1-7
2. Godchild Vol. 2-8
3. Cain Saga Vol. 4 Part 1

*I almost bought stuff I already own. I'm pretty positive I read Full Moon already but I never read a scanlation before in my life and I don't read on my computer. Never borrowed from the library or from a friend. I looked for the series, but I couldn't find it so I'm either buying Full Moon again or I never read it. While I was looking for Full Moon, I found the first volume of Godchild and Vol. 1-3 & Vol. 4 Part 2 of Cain Saga. In fact, I have two copies of volume 2 of Cain Saga. Needless to say, I had to adjust this order.

Order 3
1. Beast Master Vol. 1-2
2. The Promised Neverland Vol. 1-5 Ongoing series and not a shoujo, but I'm allowing myself an exception.
3. Kurenai Complete Collection Anime, but I wanted a cart topper for free shipping. Free shipping is important for me because I live on an island.

Wow, the Revolutionary Girl Utena Blu-Ray box set finally shipped! I pre-ordered almost a year ago! It shipped with all the volumes of Full Moon and Godchild. I hope the box isn't too big...

Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel Movie 1: Presage Flower BD (Japanese Import)

Also, I picked up a CD with it, Buck Tick-Catalog Ariola 00-10, which is somewhat anime related..

From Amazon awhile back:

Dai-Guard Complete Collection
- Went with the old ADV brick instead of Discotek's, since the ADV release is on more discs, has more extras, and was cheaper.

From rightstuf awhile back:

UQ Holder! Vols. 7-13

Oh, Ken Akamatsu, you madman genius troll. Instead of starting with an ecchi/harem romcom and adding shounen action elements, as with Negima!, this time you started with a shounen action series and added ecchi/harem romcom elements back in Exclamation More so starting around volume 9 or 10.

From rightstuf's Memorial Day extravaganza:

Guardian Ninja Mamoru DVD
Hanaukyo Maid Team ~ La Verite DVD
Indian Summer DVD
Rental Magica DVD Collections 1-2
Samurai Harem DVD
Utawarerumono OVA DVD
Vampire Princess Miyu TV DVD

Focusing mainly on DVD-only releases of shows without Blu-Rays in the US or Japan, though as I make this list, I guess the Utawarerumono OVAs do have BDs available. (I'll chalk that up to consistency with my DVDs of the 1st TV series.) If Sentai is that committed to leaving DVD behind in 2019, I'd like to see them put out BDs for those 2008-11ish series like Croiseé in a Foreign Labyrinth, Mashiro-iro Symphony, 11eyes, or Taisho Baseball Girls.

Just pre-ordered Gamers and the second half of Sakura Quest via Rightstuf. Used a discount coupon from them to cut the cost down some for both. I now have all the titles from Funi's packed August release slate bought up that have my interest.

Next goal now is trying to get a pre-order of Sentai's 1980s release of Glass Mask.

I had a large order with some low stock items but still, I'm a bit upset that my order hasn't shipped yet and that I have received no updates as to why.

It can sometimes be weird ordering from Sentai. I placed my order on the Friday afternoon and some people who placed theirs on Sunday got their orders first. (shrug) Last time I placed an order with Sentai I didn't get a tracking number till the day my order arrived and that one also took some time. I'd give it another day and if you don't at least get a tracking number I'd say shoot them an email. Its possible that they did have low stock on your items and are actually replenishing it, but I too would expect a notification of that within a reasonable time.

I know RS is supposed to be doing the shipping for Sentai and the weird thing is that when I used to live in Florida I got my shipments faster than I currently do.

Sent them my email, they got back with the standard reply: "Big sale, large volume, sent orders in order of receipt. We hope to get all orders out this week."

But it was almost immediately followed by a shipping notice. So maybe the squeaky wheel got the grease.

But good luck guys, if you're sending them out in order of receipt and I sent mine during lunch time on the first day that means you haven't filled anything else, right? Four or five days of orders need to go out by the end of the day! Confused

I had originally thought that Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Vol. 4 came out on the 5th, but apparently nope, not until the 21st according to Barnes and Noble... so that was news. And my store still didn't have Volume 8 (or Volume 9) of Princess Jellyfish, so didn't pick those up either. But in the end, I still left the store with something: Éclair: A Girls' Love Anthology That Resonates in Your Heart. Oh, and a drink from the cafe. Anime hyper
