I totally splurged on anime today. Cursed Barnes & Noble stores!

I bought the first manga volume of FLCL.

Then... I ordered 3 DVDs with the buy 2, get 1 free, sale:

Fruits Basket 1

Fruits Basket 2

Escalfowne 8


::big smile:: This means that when octopedingenue sends me the videos of the latter episodes of FB, I'll have the whole thing in BOTH Japanese and English. Happy happy, joy joy!

And plus I got the last DVD of Esca, which I've been putting off buying for like 2 years now even though I've seen it already.

Damn though, anime is pricey. Thank god I have a job.

This splurge I feel is a reward for almost being done with school. Finals are this week!

EDIT: Damn, I just bought the 4th Furuba DVD, on sale. ANIME IS EVIL AND STEALS YOUR MONEY!

To quote from that bumper sticker

"Anime: Crack is cheaper."

So true.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

I just set up the VCR & DVD players (literally about 3 minutes ago) to record disc #3 of FB for you while I was asleep tonight, and it didn't work! None of the discs do! They're now all showing the "Lock" display that means the video is scramble-encoded to prevent copying. I'm totally gobsmacked; I know that I specifically tested the last 2 discs (on the same DVD player I'm using now!) when I got them from Target to see if they were copyright-locked, and I could have sworn that they weren't--that's why I felt so disappointed when I tested the first 2 discs that I got online and they WERE locked!

I feel so bad. I'll be more than happy to lend you my last 2 discs if you want; Ayame's dub voice especially has got to be heard to be believed. If you want to buy the discs yourself, the cheapest I've found them at a mainstream retailer is at DeepDiscountDVD, which is having a sale this week: Between 06/18/04-06/25/04, enter the coupon code DEEPDISCOUNT in the promotion code box when you check out and you should receive a 20% discount. Or there's this, if Cookie Jar Video is legit. And I'd still love to send you Chance, if you want it--I could throw in Simply Irresistable for my pet twosome of Bad Bad Romantic Comedies That We Love 'Cause They've Got Pretty "Buffy" Actors.

I'm very sorry; I don't know how I could have made such a silly mistake! (I think someone snuck in and messed with my DVD player when I wasn't paying attention. *GLOWERS*) I really wanted to pay you back for sending me all the wonderful songs and videos and "Fruits Basket" eps that kept me alive until I could get the DVDs. I still do want to pay you back, and I will somehow!

(And I AM going to write up that long response to you about the Naruto manga...I am sloooow going through my backlog of LJ replies...)
