@issa-sa: thanks… as i said, i’m still thinking about it (but i really want to *calendar… calendar…*). considering the conversion rate in my country to the japanese yen, that’s quite a splurge when i checked the chara-ani site. actually, the reason why i’m considering my cousin is that he sends in “care packages” to his parents once in a while and that’s a hell of a save on the shipping i’m still mulling…

@biankita: Your fan heart is burning so brightly! I’ve been saving up for the novels which is why I’m reluctant to get the DVDs now (but if I wait till they’re all released, I’ll be missing out on the juicy pre-order items…)
But if you really want someone here to preorder on your behalf, I’ll be glad to offer help – though since this will be my first time I’ll have some things to figure out first…

you are too lucky to be in japan. as i mentioned to usagijen, i am at the point of contacting a cousin who i have not seen or contacted for almost 7-8 years just to have this pre-ordered on my behalf.

anyway, i am with you… i cannot be called a true anime fan because i rely solely on fansubs. unless i really really like series where i end up buying the merchandise like manga or figurines… the last time i bought an original DVD was CCS and before that were VHS tapes of ranma 1/2 in the 90s. i am at the point that i am rationalizing “well, i never really spend so much money on these types of stuff because i haven’t found an anime i can watch on and on forever so i might as well.” to hell with it, you’re there already!!! pre-order already! which is more than what schmucks like me outside japan could do.

@Ez: Perhaps I can blame the environment back home for my inability to actually support the legal industry? ;P (Give me some time…)

@usagijen: Ooo, hopefully at least one of us gets them goodies then – and if your officemates aren’t in the country then, I’ll HAPPILY accept the gifts for you XD
Have to thank you for bringing my attention to the Campaign (AND the official site OTL), and I too wish I joined during the first campaign T_T

pfft you lucky ~~dawg~~ panda!

and know what, I *might* just get my hands on the giveaways for the banner campaign, if any of my officemates will still be in Japan by the time the gifts are sent. I’m soo regretting not joining the first banner campaign, SIGH.

We all need to show support sometimes. =D

However I’d only purchase high quality subbed versions. No dubs, and certainly any certified by ODEX *shudder*. Problem is, it’s really hard to find clean, official and good subs in Malaysia (seeing that it’s pirate ‘industry’ is the biggest in the world).
