Blog News - August 2014 Part 2

Hey all, I've got some news that I felt like mentioning sooner than later.

First things first, I have planned out half the stuff I'm collecting during the Autumn/Q4 Pickup season. Some have been pre-ordered already, some have yet to be pre-ordered but will be when it's distributor updates its shop site and others will be planned until the time comes. Here's a good idea of what I have prepared for the next four to five months.

Incoming within the next week or two:
 - C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control
 - Fractale
 - Heroic Age

September:
 - Attack on Titan (second-half)
 - Gurren Lagann (includes Childhood's End, The Lights in the Sky are Stars & Parallel Works)

October:
 - Gargantia of the Verdurous Planet
 - HAL
 - Patema Inverted

November:
 - High School DxD New
 - Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise
 - Sailor Moon (first-half)

Planned but not scheduled:
 - Anohana the Movie
 - Blood C
 - Blood Lad
 - Kill la Kill
 - Nisemonogatari
 - Shakugan no Shana Season 3

Other Notes:
 - I may pick up some light novels and manga some point, titles like Berserk are in consideration while Another's deluxe novel release is being suggested.
 - What I want to do for this season is to get a majority of the Limited Edition sets as usual before they go out of print. For the first time I'll be picking up Viz Media titles thanks to their special artbox sets (size-wise they're just smaller than the slim case Funimation artboxes) but at the same time I want to get the rest of the Funimation LE sets (not including the sets above, I now have about 9 more to collect).
 - Thanks to Sentai Filmworks and Viz Media, collecting special sets are now more complicated. Highschool of the Dead Collector's Edition is still a maybe for now while Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusion will be picked up (always wanted to watch that series for quite some time). Baring in mind they cost as much as Aniplex's sets (like £75 as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack).
 - I spotted some Honneamise sets that I have some interest in, but I may skip on the special DVD sets since Manga UK are interested in releasing the Blu-ray versions.
 - If a particular set is going out of print then chances are I will be getting it. This has happened before with various pickups; most notably Gunbuster vs Diebuster, Shakugan no Shana Season 2 Part 1 (LE) & 2, Shiki Part 1 (LE) & 2, Tenchi Muyo! OVA (LE).

Other than that, I'm now using Imgur for my unboxing pictures in case something happens. Some sets have been re-shot for a better angle or clearer picture. I'll be including all of my newer pickups on there (like the ones listed above) while at certain times I may add some catalog titles like my Anime Limited and NIS America pickups.

That's it for this update, stay tuned for the next pickup whenever it arrives.

UPDATE:
I have added/altered some sentences to make it clearer and look less rushed than before. Remember the ones I have planned may not be there in the end but might come up later on. And I still haven't forgotten about UN-GO, something I should get sooner than later.
