Last week's Pick of the Week was: Level E: Complete Collection (Blu-ray / DVD Combo LE) with 5 votes.

In accordance to the U.S. Anime Releases thread, the above poll lists the releases that are officially scheduled to street this week. Please select the item(s) you're planning to buy this week, have on order, won in a contest, or have already bought. If none, select None of the above.

Please note that unregistered votes will NOT count. If you want your vote to count, please register to the forum.

Note: the Garden of sinners: DVD Boxset (LE) [12/13/2012] is in this week's poll since the release date was not available last week by the time of the poll.

Note 2: Steins;Gate, Part 2 (Blu-ray / DVD Combo) +1

[Damius]

None of the above -1

It's finally Steins;Gate week! My copy arrived on Wednesday.

This is the first time I haven't had a One Piece set by its release date. I'll have to get around to that at some point. I really don't want to spend $150 on a sub-only DVD-only set, but there is still a small chance that I may be tempted to get Garden of Sinners at some point.

This week will surely hit me hard. I have the complete Shana season 2 and Steins;Gate vol. 2 coming for this week, with Index being a possible buy sometime down the line (more likely if a future BD release is planned).

it's possible I'll grab Steins;Gate part 2 as well, but I'll have to see what the rest of my 12+ days orders look like first

I already own the earlier release of Kobato so just 1 title for me this week:

Tenchi Muyo! OVA Series Collection (Arrived last week from TRSI)

[u_nick]

Question I keep forgetting to ask in every and any other Tenchi thread: the 'original' anime, that had however many episodes: Is that the OVA listed here? With all the different names, I could never keep track of the show.

If it is, I'll put my vote there.

[touma]

Nothing for me.

I am definitely interested in Shakugan no Shana season 2 and, to a lesser degree, A Certain Magical Index, but I will not seriously consider buying either of those unless it gets a standard complete collection release.

I am slightly interested in Kobato but the manga did not hold my interest the way that most CLAMP work has, actually I never finished it, so I will wait to see if it ends up in somebody's bargain bin.

Tenchi does have a rather complex chronology and continuity.
The OVA episodes in this collection were the first of the anime, so they would be the original anime.
These are the same 13 episodes that Geneon released as "Tenchi Muyo!" in four volumes.

Planning to pick up A Certain Magical Index later, but nothing for now.
