Anime Boston finished, and I had quite a bit of fun. I didn’t get to go to every panel I wanted, and I stopped in some I didn’t think I was going to see. I ended the convention with my normal feeling that, even though I did quite a bit, I didn’t really do enough.
But that’s not what this post is about. It’s about the manga I bought.
I’ve brought in some huge hauls from Anime Boston before, but considering how much I have to spend money on now (school, car, wedding, um, food) I didn’t get quite so much as that. But I think my buys were pretty good:
- Twin Spica volume 6
- Chi’s Sweet Home
volume 5
- Hunter x Hunter volume 27
- Gals!
volume 6 (only $2!!)
- Fullmetal Alchemist
volume 25 (early!)
- Ouran High School Host Club
volume 16 (also early!)
- Natsume’s Book of Friends volume 2 (free!)
- Love Knot (free as well!)
- Peach Girl
Manga)
volumes 1-8 (only $10!!)
Pretty decent, I’d say. I could have caught up on series like Hoshin Engi and Rurouni Kenshin as well, but I couldn’t quite see how to fit it all into my budget. Aside from manga I only bought one anime, the Blu-ray of Summer Wars (got a free T-shirt with that one) and one figure, a tiny model of Going Merry from One Piece. (Yes, I bought a figurine of a ship.)
What do you think – did I do good? Was there anything you would have caught up on instead? Or, what else do you buy at conventions, if you go?
Hey Bookworm :),
I probably would have bought the same thing: mangas and figurines. But since I love anime as well, I would have to pick up more DVDs of the thousands I have not seen yet.(Of course money would be a bit stretched and I have school as well).
Also, you mention about a wedding? In the summertime, my wedding invitation and program business should be kicking off by then, so let me know if you need anything!
Ciao
I take so much less time to watch anime than I used to. Plus, now there’s so much I can watch on Netflix I don’t really need to buy too many DVDs.
Oh, I’ll have to check that out! =)
Thats the beauty of Netflix. Once I found out they have plenty of anime on there, I dove right in. My preference, however is books…:) Oh and thanks for considering checking out the link!
Also, I just added Peach Girl to my wish List on Amazon.
Ha ha, I’m trying to decide if I did you a favor or not… guess I’ll have to finish the thing and find out.
Oh goodness.let me know :)
I would have been looking all over for Ode to Kirihito (because I don’t have Part II), probably look for a few volumes of Love Hina that I don’t have, and somehow find Volume 4 of Strawberry 100. That’s just me. And there are probably others I want but can’t remember. Oh well.
Anyways, enjoy watching Summer Wars on BLU-RAY :( :( :( (only has the non blu-ray version)
I DID enjoy watching Summer Wars on Blu-ray. It’s so pretty! O_O
NOOO!!! AND NOW SHE BRAGS!!! THE AGONY!!! :D
=)
*sniff* Should’ve known people from Massachusetts were meanies :( :( :(
Did you end up going to my Tokyo Nonexistent Youth Bill panel? If so, what did you think?
Unfortunately, I didn’t. I wound up eating lunch with friends at that time =(
