Anime X-Mas ‘08

by Jason


Comfort and joy, with a side of peace on Earth, is all well and good. This blog is about anime, so I’ll be sticking to the gift giving aspect of Christmas. This year I received quite a bit of anime related gifts. I’m happy with that. I love anime.

Loot

I laid out some of my anime stuff and took a picture. Yeah it sounds weird, but hey, I got a blog to write and pictures help. Besides I wanted to share my anime x-mas happiness with ya’ll and this is a good way to do it.

Items Pictured

  • Genshiken Box Set
  • Ouran High School Host Club (Part 1)
  • FLCL
  • Remote Control Mach 5
  • Negima! Mahora Academy Crest Keychain
  • 3 Star Dragonball Keychain
  • Azumanga Daioh Osaka Keychain

A wide variety of stuff there, and all of it something I love. There’s not a thing there that I didn’t, or wouldn’t, want. I’d call that a successful Christmas haul. A big part of that success can be summed up in three words…

Amazon Wish List

I finally broke down and set up an Amazon wish list this year. I can now see how well it works. I know shopping for people can be pretty darn tough, so I’m willing to do what I can to make things easier on people that want to shop for me. It must work, because I was told a couple of times that the stuff came from my wish list.

I’ll write up my thoughts on the DVDs when I can get a chance to watch ‘em. Right now I’d better go update my wish list. I’ve got a birthday coming up.
