Cut down on what I spend, but then again, at the same time, collect the region 2 release of One Piece.

My resolution is the opposite, buy more
 . I don't have a job and have been using weekly allowances, birthday, and Christmas money to get anime, which in itself wasn't even that much. And not to mention a majority of it all was just Limited Edition volume 1's, so I haven't seen past a whole lot of the beginnings of series  .
This year, I hope to get a job all the while doing my best to get good grades in college as well. I'm going to do what I can to pull off my best Rock Lee impersonation and overcome adversity with lots of hardwork, even if it kills me!

My resolution is to buy less and only buy the titles to finish the current series that I want to finish.

This year I want to have more time to watch the anime I already have, but then again working and going to college really destroy your social life. Word to those not in college yet, spend time with your friends, and do things you want to do now. Once you get into college your time disappear, espically if you are working more than 20 hours like I am.
Resolutions to watch Hellsing boxset, watch Gundam Wing again, (it's was my first anime leave me be), start twelve kingdoms, start Kenshin OVA, start Akria. Attempt to figure out EVA (har har), buy zeta, find time to watch cowboy bebop. Buy FMA, maybe go to a convention this year (anyone know of a good LA one?), GET GOOD GRADES SO I GET MY SCHOLARSHIP AND KEEP GOING TO SCHOOL. That it. Delta Kiral |

tony - I've never seen you, but I'm betting that to do a good rock lee impersonation, you'll need to grow bigger eyebrows
my resolutions? I don't really have any. or I have a lot. I'm new to anime, so pretty much see everything that I can

My New Year's resolution is to finally get around to watching the boxed set of Kurogane Communications, which I picked up quite cheaply at a convention back in August but haven't found the time to watch since then.
Well, that and get a side job reviewing anime releases for a major website, of course.  Got close on that point this past year. . .

My resolutions include importing more stuff, watching more anime and reading more manga. e___e;; it's not like I don't do that enough, but I needed a resolution.
And oo, buy more pretty art books! There's already a Naruto one I'm going to buy <3 |

I mostly intend to catch up on some of the more "must-see" anime I've been meaning to watch, but have yet to get around to. This would primarily involve seeing the rest of Utena beyond the last three episodes & movie, RahXephon, picking Samurai Champloo up again, general Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Nausicaa, Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle), generally any Leiji Matsumodo I can get my hands on, Berserk!, Innocence: Ghost in the Shell, You're Under Arrest, Slayers, finishing Fullmetal Alchemist, and so on like that. Also, anime grey-area, but I intend to get back into the old-school Transformers. And by the end of 2005 I seek to have seen, in part or whole, every majour Gundam title produced thus far (which basically means...get ahold of Zeta, Double Zeta, & Victory...hey, I'm almost a third of the way there).
Then there's my plan to appeal to every majour deity known to man for a R1 DVD release of the Galaxy Express 999 movies. C'mon, I have to own a copy, it was the first anime I ever saw!

:) New Years anime resolution?
The Twelve Kingdoms. I'm going to get around to watching/buying all of it, it's such a great series. Other than that, to spend less, actually. I'm rarely buying anime at full-price anymore. As viewership goes up, hopefully prices will go down...but they havn't yet. And I really do have better things to be spending my money on. It seems that a lot of other people want to cut back on spending too. So, here's the somewhat ultimate way to save money and still enjoy anime/manga/etc. fandom: 1. Buy only used videogames. Unless it's a Zelda game or something equally as awesome - albiet something equal to Zelda is likely to not occur. ^_^ 2. Coupons!! Savings cards! And the like. Sure, they're made for mini-van-moms, but use them wisely and they will help you. 3. Sit around in Barnes and Noble and read comics for hours. 4. Buy used anime. Or sell some of yours back. 5. Uh.....'Hong Kong' dvds.....^_~ 6. Only buy series that you're really really into. Read a butt-load of reviews before you buy! Thanks for reviews, ANN! 7. Don't buy at crappy overpriced video stores, like Suncoast or Sam Goody. Best Buy and Target kick a lot more arse. Heck, if you can handle the one-star hotel smell, then go to Walmart. 8. Get a summer job at the comic book store! 9. Cut your Newtype suscription. Just buy it off the stands every once in a while, only when you're sure that all of the articles in it are actually of your interest. (ex: It's a waste of money for a head-strong action anime guy to suscribe to NT, then get an issue that's entirely about Di Gi Charat.) Or, Newtype also makes good Barnes and Noble reading time material. Same goes w/ other magazines. 10. Make friends who like the stuff you do. Then mooch off of them. >_> I'm so cheap...*runs away* |

Well, I suppose my resolution would be to actually watch some anime. Although I have read hundreds of manga, I've hardly seen any anime (it's pathetic, really). My Netflix queue is already in order - now I just have to get a bottle of Motrin to prevent headaches caused by staring at the television screen for hours on end...

My New Year's resolution is to actually buy some anime. I didn't buy a single anime title last year. In fact, the first anime title I bought was Tenchi Muyo GXP volume 1, and that was last week.
I also want to get some more manga/continue the manga I already have. I fell way behind on The Getbackers. |
