Posters might want to start hiding larger images in spoiler tags or this thread will become a bear to download on slower connections.

I always limit my photos to 800 pixels wide so they at least don't have to be processed by the forum's resizer...

In a dedicated photo thread like this though, I much prefer to see the photos out in the open rather than spoiler tagged - even if it does take a bit longer to load the page - because really, that's the entire purpose of a thread like this... Spoiler-ed images are too dang easy to miss. So, just to help out, let's all try not to go overboard with the image sizes and the number of exposed images per post!

Key714 above did it the correct way for posting a larger number of photos - showing a couple photos and then spoiler-ing all the detail photos...

Finally received Highschool of the Dead OVA blu ray today from rightstuf. Perfect timing considering I just finished watching Highschool of the Dead series for the second time yesterday.

Good Luck Girl Slipcover out 11.19

OK, so not photos of the anime media itself (yet), but still qualifies as an "Anime Haul," so here's some pictures!... Got some major anime swag direct from Japan in the mail yesterday, from the Time of EVE Blu-ray Kickstarter campaign that ran back in May-June of this year - I pledged at the $145 level in order to receive an "Are You Enjoying the Time of EVE?" coffee cup/saucer set and an "Evlend" coffee canister, both patterned after similar items seen in the anime movie.

But, I really wanted more than just one of each item you receive through the pledge award - I entertain a lot of guests for Monthly Movie Nights in my home theater in my basement, and I wanted to be able to serve coffee in these to my guests. So I asked the campaign sponsors if I could purchase more of these items outright, and they said yes, they had plenty of extra pieces. So after the campaign closed I purchased 7 more cups/saucers and 2 more canisters. Now I'll be able to serve "Evlend" coffee to my guests in my ToE-themed home theater snack bar!

Good Luck Girl! is a really fun show. I really recommend it if you guys want some silly not too serious stuff.

FREY, when are you opening up your Café? I want a cup of Evlend.

WOW, that looks Great! I'm really impressed that you were able to order extras for yourself.

The LQ picture is probably deceptive (my camera isn't up and running atm :/ ), it's actually a stylish slipcover on a slimline BD case.

OK, received all these this past week... Maken Ki and Akira arrived in the mail today, and I picked up the (non-anime) Wizards movie at Best Buy today... got that one for nostalgia's sake, I saw Wizards on campus in college when it was new back in the late 70's... Also got the Blood: The Last Vampire Blu-ray and the entire 50 episode Blood+ import DVDs which unfortunately turned out to be of questionable origin... Ordered them blind online, since the US DVD set is OOP. The discs are factory pressed and not DVD-R at least, and were neatly sealed in plastic like a commercial DVD. They do include an English dub... ah well, I just got these to tide me over until there is a proper North American re-release of Blood+ on Blu or DVD I can get my hands on, since Blood+ is in my Top-5 anime series...

Nice picks! I love how Sentai blu rays always have a lead character on the spine.

Forgot tot take a pic again! But today Tsuritama, Medaka Box, and Dusk Maiden of Amnesia arrived. I'll try to remember to take some pics this weekend.
