Vol.15 was ready for collection.

Box - Front

The limited edition is waaaay overpriced but I bought it anyway because I am a tool of the system. It comes with a DVD that contains promotional material for the new Negima! OVA.

Box - BackBook - FrontBook - BackSpecial DVD

After watching the DVD, I am happy to say that the new Negima! OVA is better than I expected. The character designs are surprisingly close to the original and the animation quality and detail are a few hundred times better than the horror that was the TV series. A few hundred being a modest estimate. The entire cast is retained as far as I can tell. The OVA also seems to contain a little more fanservice… Well, still far less than the manga.

One complaint: The OP “Yume Minna de” is not as catchy as “Happy Material”.

April Purchases http://2pwn.tk/websites/www.darkmirage.com/2006/05/07/april-purchases/ http://2pwn.tk/websites/www.darkmirage.com/2006/05/07/april-purchases/#comments Sun, 07 May 2006 07:36:22 +0000 http://2pwn.tk/websites/www.darkmirage.com/2006/05/07/april-purchases/ Continue reading ]]> Exams are finally over. Woohoo. Well I still have a Computer Elective paper on Monday, but that doesn’t count.

Anyway, I’ve been quite broke since I placed that preorder for Da Capo II… so I’ve been curbing (or at least trying to curb) my spending for April.

$$$

  • School Rumble Guide Book – Treasure File
  • School Rumble Vol. 12
  • Suzuka Vol. 11 Limited Edition
  • Suzumiya Haruhi novels 1 to 4
  • Mahou Sensei Negima! Vol. 14 Limited Edition

Negima! Vol. 14 Limited Edition came with a nice fake-leathery book cover that fits all Kodansha tankoubon, which is great because I always destroy my books. Of course the limited edition also cost about 3 times the normal price but that’s besides the point.

Suzuka Vol. 11 was good, really good. I can’t wait till the next volume. The limited edition bonus consists of 2 special cover designs and 2 postcards. The sad thing is that they didn’t include the normal cover… Well the normal cover sucks anyway. (Yasunobu + Whatsherface? Yuck)

See, I didn’t spend much for April… Other than those books, it’s just my regular monthly issues of Comptiq and Newtype, my preorder for Da Capo II, my preorder on CDJapan for Maaya Sakamoto’s new single and D.C.II OP-ED single and my preorder for this and this (Saber <3)…

……Okay, maybe I fail at this money-saving business. But hey, this is still nothing compared to moyism. (hint: those numbers are in USD)

And yes, he is my role model in life. XD

P.S. I want to preorder this too.

O……|ï¿£|_
