She’s Alive!

It may surprise you to learn that I am indeed still alive and have not fallen off the face of the planet, at least not yet. I’m been busy with life, work, and my newest addiction–writing fanfiction. Plus nothing much exciting has been happening and even the anime world is moving slowly this month. Samurai Champloo episode 18 will not be out until the middle of January (about the same time the first DVD is scheduled for release from Geneon/Pioneer). Samurai 7 is still plodding along and is now up to episode 17 from IY4Ever. Fullmetal Alchemist is on Cartoon Network on Saturday night and the DVDs will be released in early February. That’s pretty much it. I’ve downloaded a couple new shows but haven’t taken the time to sit down and watch them.

However, my legally purchased anime collection is growing by leaps and bounds. Finding Rightstuf.com was a very, very Bad Thing for me. Their weekly specials are updated every Thursday with several really good deals and who am I to pass up a good deal? So now I own all of Orphen and Outlaw Star and most of Saiyuki. Plus I just ordered the Fullmetal Alchemist starter set, His and Her Circumstances Box Set, the Samurai Champloo limited edition box + first DVD, and the Chrno Crusade box + first DVD. I highly recommend everything I’ve purchased but at this rate I’m going to have to buy another bookcase just for my anime collection. I just try not to think about how much of my money that bookcase is going to be holding. Ouch.
