2012 anime calendar time!

It's mid-September, so it's time to think about the new year. Time flies you know.

As always, I'm shopping at CD Japan. There's a special offer there at the moment: spend 5000 yen (paying by PayPal) and get 1000yen's worth of loyalty points back, which works out as kind of 20% off, so that's good. There is a catch that the points are only valid for 90 days though, so it's not as good an offer as it could have been. Still, it's fairly good. It's valid until the 8th of October 8 2011 (Japan Standard Time GMT+9).

Anime calendars my brother is interested in:

ONE PIECE Release date: 2011/09/17, Price: 1500yen
SUITE PRECURE Release date: 2011/09/17, Price: 1500yen
Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu 2 Release date: 2011/10/01, Price: 1600yen
Shinryaku! Ika Musume Release date: 2011/10/22, Price: 1600yen

Some fun (and some funny) series ^_^

I want either the "Yotsuba to" one, or the "Chi's Sweet Home" one, but... I can't tell whether the Yotsuba one is another one that's full artwork or photos with Yotsuba being cute in them like it was the other year, and I can't tell what the Chi's Sweet Home one is like either, aside form being a wall calendar and slightly more expensive than the other calendars.
Yotsuba to (aka Yotsuba&) Release date: 2011/11 (sometime), Price: 1500yen
Chi's Sweet Home Wall Calendar 2012 from Kodansha Release date: 2011/11 (sometime), Price: 2200yen

I normally get myself an "All That's Ultraman" calendar as well, but I am not sure about that this year. I think I just want a super cute calendar. Decisions decisions!

One thing I have decided is that I want a copy of MIO (MIQ) The Perfect Best with the rebate points I get. :)

2011 anime calendars up for preorder

It's that time of year! The time of year when CD Japan put up calendars for preorder... and minutes later, they're sold out!

CD Japan Calendar section

Calendars I'm looking at:

One Piece

Heart Catch Pre Cure!

Digimon Xros Wars

TV anime calendar

TV tokusatsu hero calendar

All that's Ultraman

I kind of wish there were more calendars with old series known for their great artwork. There's Ashita no Joe but I haven't seen much of it and the front cover is a terrible series spoiler. Ultraman calendars always make me smile, though. Every year. :D

2010 Calendar time!

It's time for me to go shopping with calendar order / preorders! :D

Here are the ones I'm aiming for this year:

Shugo Chara! [Calendar 2010 (Kodansha Ltd.)]

Fresh Pretty Cure! [Calendar 2010 (Try-X Ltd.)]

ONE PIECE [Calendar 2010 (Try-X Ltd.)]

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When They Cry) [Calendar 2010 (Try-X Ltd.)]

TV Animation [Calendar 2010 (Try-X Ltd.)]
(it seems to contain Precure, One Piece, Dragon Ball Z, Digimon, Saint Seiya, GeGeGe no Kitaro, etc)

All That's Ultraman

^_^

Calendar preorder time!

It's the time of year to order next year's calendars! ^__^

I like anime calendars; they work as posters or giant artbooks... (well, artbooks with 6-7 pages...).

If you want to buy anime/manga/tokusatsu/other-Japanese calendars, I recommend buying them from CD Japan! They always deliver, and everything arrives on time in nice green paper. :D

I'm thinking of getting these ones:

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni calendar... except if there are any nasty pictures I'm stuck with them for a month!

All That's Ultraman calendar. :) I've had an Ultraman calendar every year for the past 2 years! They're great! :D

Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 calendar. My brother had one of these calendars last year (for season one) and now he wants the season two calendar!

Kurogane no Line Barrel calendar. Hirashi Hirai's newest character designs feature in this one, and that's a very s.CRY.ed type of pose on the front, IMHO, hehe.

Clannad calendar.

Kuroro Gunso calendar, since my boyfriend seems to be a big fan. I got him a "Yotsuba to" calendar last year! So cute!

Yes! Precure 5 calendar! :D

Chi's Sweet Home - Desktop calendar or Chi's Sweet Home - Wall calendar, I'm not sure which. It's soooooo cute! >^_^<

I NEED MORE WALL SPACE! Hahahaha... XD

Preorder early because everything is in limited supply! Oh and there's a special offer where if you spend over 5000 yen you get a voucher for 500 yen (so I'm splitting up my orders into 500 yen each...)
