Life in Quadrant 4

Okay, I’ll cut to the chase – I need money.

Therefore, I’ve decided to liquidate a few of my anime goods. Not necessarily limited to the Philippines, but S&H will probably be a pain. I’ll toss in free stuff and/or discounts if you buy in bulk!

PHP 350
School Rumble vol. 1-9
PHP 300 each
Love Hina vol. 1-3
PHP 250 each
GTO vol. 1
PHP 200
Mushishi vol. 7 (unopened)
PHP 450
Mahoromatic vol 1, 4-6 (vol. 4 unopened)
PHP 300 (450 for vol 4)

As any regular reader of this blog will know by now, I am an incredibly impulsive spender, which translates to well, lots of needless spending and what I would call, “bad buys”.

As a pre-Aria sort of experience, I went and got myself Aria Volume 3, the latest so far (just published September this year). It’s indeed a very wonderful thing. Also stopped by AniCon 2008. Not really worth going to, but there were less sponsors. That’s cool. And there was a maid cafe (which I couldn’t get into because everyone kept staying for so long). Hit the jump if you care for the long version.

The school season is here once again, and within the course of the summer vacation, I have not managed to write a single substantial entry. Shame on me.

On the other hand, this would be a really good time to look back at the previous spring season’s offerings, as well as anything else of interest.

For starters, let’s have a look at the shows from the spring ‘08 season, plus whatever else I’ve watched recently:
