What Did You Get This Month? (August)

[Mynd Hed]

Here it is, your monthly buy-and-brag thread. Feel free to post thoughts on whatever you buy, too-- sometimes you just want to toss off a couple of off-hand comments rather than post a talkback thread and bang out a real review, and this is the place to do it.

[Sailor Chibi Otaku]

It's my birthday today so I bought myself a few things.

Manga:

Chobits vol. 1 (FINALLY!!) with a Tchii insert

Dark Striker vol. 2

One DVD: Yu-Gi-Oh! vol. 2: Premier Duel with a free poster

My friend bought me two little Sailor Moon keychains, Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury. I was divided: wallscroll or keychains. I decided on the keychains as they go FAST. The wallscrolls stay a while. One is of Super Sailor Neptune, Super Sailor Uranus and Super Sailor Pluto and the other is of Sakura Kinomoto. He didn't get me anything for my birthday. He didn't have to but he was sweet to buy me the keychains.

Let me remind you all that I buy my manga and anime in French. I plan on buying (when I see them) Sailor Moon, Mega Man: NT Warrior and Beyblade on DVD. I've seen Beyblade on DVD here. I'm trying to get them with the English, French and Japanese languages.

Later on this month, Dragon Knight from Nextdayanime.com will be in the mail.
