Looking at the reviews for Tales of Fandom vol. 2 (Luke Version) on amazon.jp, it slowly came to me that out of 28 reviews:

only one was written after the game was released.

That...just strikes me as really odd. I think I stared at my monitor for a full ten seconds as it set in. (I was going to write something crabbier in Japanese, but I have no IME so I'd just feel like a tool 8D)

One more yucky thing that happened today: my shopping list for Japan has definitely cleared $510. Shoot.

The other good thing that happened today: I saw Casino Royale, FINALLY, and it was extremely satisfactory. My most outrageous thought is that I think this is the first Bond that I could see with kitty ears/tail.

Yes. Yes, the moe has me. I am ailing. Yes.

That's...no, I do the same thing. Laughing. At manga in malls. We've seen some hard times, comrade, but now spring has come in our obsession and translations are jumping up everywhere =_= Though most of my laughter comes from the way I am SO used to thinking things will never get translated. I just waited so long for Rayearth, you know? And now they've even translated, like, Aishiteruze Baby---that is such a trip.

When I went to Book-Off NYC, it wasn't really the manga that got me. It was downstairs...oh, downstairs. With anime drama CDs for $7 or $15 a pop. And COOKBOOKS! I got 5 used cookbooks for a buck apiece! *_* Man, I gotta go back and complete my Mrs. Bell collection.

Oh, okay then. :3 I hope you get to pay it off. But I'll keep you in mind, and if I see something that fits, that isn't too extravagant, it can be a gift :D

Hahaha. I remember reading text translations (I didn't actually own the books) of Rayearth on cephiro.net and going *_* Same with stuff like Dream Saga and Zenmaijikake no Tina.. (and now that I have the wherewithal to buy the originals, they're out of print! Another reason to storm Book-Off.)

When I see stuff like Tokyo Babylon or Angel Sanctuary in the local store I seriously blink. It's like, they have THAT in the mall by my old high school, the presence of such two opposing elements should cause space to spontaneously combust! Or something.

CDs... yeah. I'd like to start collecting some music CDs, stuff like Cocco or Spitz or RADWIMPS. Or the drama CDs for series that weren't animated, especially the limited-edition mail-order only stuff! Ahh.

What I have a weakness for is artbooks - like collections of paintings by Monet and Rembrandt. I have a book of sketches by Da Vinci that is TEH AWESOME. Oh, and concept art. When I have money there are like ten settei shiryuu shou books that have my name on them :E

Thanks, but don't worry about it. I hope you enjoy your trip!

YES. THOSE TEXT TRANSLATIONS OMG TT_TT I own 4 volumes of Dream Saga! But I don't know where the fifth one is, and if they're out of print I'm in trouble. As for Zenmaijikake no Tina, the only memory I have of that is a little package of tissues from a faraway issue of Nakayoshi...

Usually for me it's the yaoi. Like, "but won't someone say gay comics aren't allowed?"

I'm really not a CD person, but the dramas are good for a few yuks.

Thank you, I won't. ^-^ I don't want to burden you with burdening me...er...you have a nice summer, too.
