December anime imports thread

[Damius]

Already the end of the year... In my case, the end of the first year that I import from Japan! Will your wallet be able to recover your 2011 imports?

[something]

November

December 2011 deliveries, more or less. Well, stuff is scheduled for December release anyway, we'll see what Amazon decides to do in terms of shipping date:

BD, JP
　　　Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko, Vol. 6
　　　Dog Days, Vol. 6
　　　The iDOLM@STER, Vol. 3
　　　Natsume Yuujin-chou San, Vol. 5

　　　Idolmaster - Animation Master 06
　　　K-ON! Movie - Unmei wa Endless! OP Single
　　　K-ON! Movie - Singing! ED Single
　　　K-ON! Movie - Original Soundtrack


- So last month was my most expensive ever and this month is less than $50 behind. Spent more in BDs, but a lot less in CDs. A BD boxset will do that I guess.

　　　BD, JP, 18 discs | 13 releases
　　　Import CDs, 6 discs | 5 releases


Yearly import totals
　　159 total video discs
　　　　135 BDs
　　　　*24 DVDs
　　　　116 individual releases (boxsets etc counted as 1)

　　　　Most common distributors (by discs)
　　　　　　67 - Aniplex
　　　　　　27 - Geneon Japan
　　　　　　27 - Pony Canyon
　　　　　　24 - Kadokawa
　　　　　　*6 - King Records
　　　　　　*1 - Shochiku
　　　　　　　　Aniplex demolishes everything else, as expected. KR is Toradora box, Shochiku is Tamayura v1.

　　72 total music discs
　　　　64 individual releases
　　　　　　27 singles
　　　　　　23 albums
　　　　　　11 soundtracks

Plus 1 figure (waitress Mugi) and 9 visual novels (Sonohana series, DLSite). I obviously don't do much outside of music and video.

This month's total: 15 singles + 1 boxset. I'm still waiting on Horizon, Idolmaster and T&B to arrive, but the others all made it in time for Christmas. I wanted to get ToraDora as well but it was too much for one month, so it fell off. Maybe a few months down the track I can revisit it if I get the breathing space.

• Koe de Oshigoto! manga vol. 7 LE w/pocket audio-only ADV thing
• BLOOD-C BD vol. 4
• Ro-Kyu-Bu! BD vol. 4
• Ro-Kyu-Bu! Tomoka dakimakura cover (Cospa ver.)
• Ro-Kyu-Bu! Hinata dakimakura cover (Cospa ver.)
• A&J Feel Smooth 150cm pillow body (At first I tried using my old 160cm one, but stretched-aspect-ratio Hinata was really bugging me.)
• Ro-Kyu-Bu! Android app "Mezamashi ~Hinata~"
• 6000 coins in Yome Collection (Android app) to operate the gacha machine for virtual Ro-Kyu-Bu! cards. Never thought I'd spend significant money on this sort of DLC stuff, but somehow it doesn't feel bad when it's going to the Ro-Kyu-Bu! girls. You can use the "kiss" function once every three hours per card, so it's nice to have all the cards. Also I learned that capacitive touch screens work pretty well with lips in addition to fingers.

Why not? If you imported them from Japan during December, its fair game.
