Kara no Kyoukai 4 LE
Strike Witches 4 LE

Big month. I was thinking about getting the Touch boxes, but the poor exchange rate has put them on thin ice. I'll keep my eye on them over the next couple months, but they might get dropped from consideration.

Momoi Halko: More & More Quality Red ~Anime Song Cover~
Momoi Halko: More & More Quality White ~Self Song Cover~
Nogawa Sakura: Super Best ~Sakura no Uta~ (w/ DVD)

[The Great Bear]

Nothing planned at the moment.

But I might pick up an old, cheap disc here and there from the current CD Japan sale.

Clannad After Story's DVD release will certainly have a lot of nice swag, but at this point, I think I'll wait for a Bluray release, and wait for a possible R1 release before getting any DVDs of it.

[tseniv]

Not much in terms of imports. I'm only picking up the first volume of Clannad After Story because the series hasn't impressed me other than the first couple of episodes. What I'm really looking forward to this month is the blu-ray release of "The Dark Knight".

[Danime]

You people living in America are so lucky with your nice strong US$.

I only have a few pre-orders left from several months back on my CDJapan account now (and I'm partly wishing I hadn't ordered these in the first place):

Soul Eater volume 4 DVD (first pressing)

Rozen Maiden Shinsoban volume 7(?) w/ box (I just got it for the box...)

Two more Soul Eater volumes with the goodies left now. I hope the Pound strengthens by next year!

[reboman]

Oh, geez. I just placed a huge order at Amazon Japan and I think I'll pretend the 'Total' figure is just a figment of my imagination.

Clannad DVD 2-8 (regular edition)
Clannad After Story DVD 1 (regular edition)
Tales of Symphonia Blu-Ray DVD collection
A couple artbooks for Aria

Most of that is obviously not released this month, but I figured I might as well not go halfway. I hope to goodness I don't OCD and think I need the Regular Edition of Clannad Volume 1 just because the LE copy I have doesn't match the others.

[The Alaskan Assassin]

I blogged mine! :sdsmiley: (http://www.mania.com/aodvb/blog.php?b=1371)

I only bought DVDs, but that was:

Kara no kyokai L.E. 1,3,4
Kara no kyokai Regular (ugh) 02

Kannagi vol. 02 L.E. (so damned pretty)!!!

I might get Kannagi L.E. vol. 01 debating about getting more.

Needless to say, I'm glad i spent very little from last month's paychecks :-X
