A slight error exists in the array of selectable answers for the "new releases you're most excited for" question. I notice that "Haven't You Heard?" and "I'm Sakamoto!" are listed as two separate items. The concept is certainly an amusing one, I shall grant. | |||

No way of telling us which version of Fullmetal Alchemist the merchandise is from? | |||

A little silly that the anime convention question doesn't have "none of these" or "none this year" options. You're only options are to choose from a few cons, say you don't go to cons at all, or leave it blank and pretend other cons don't exist.
Also, people don't seem to understand the one asking what Japanese pop culture stuff we like outside of anime. A lot of obvious options should have been on the list from the start like light novels and manga, but aren't. And the question about where we watch anime needs some staff attention. Emerje |

And there's also an error on that list where two entirely different items have fused; Oreimo, Toaru kagaku no Railgun On topic, I sort of understand the concept of of likes of Japanese snack boxes, it's a rare human who doesn't like sweets, and exotic ones at that. However, merchandise willy-nilly, I think I'll pass. If it's stuff from something I don't like or care about, what's the point of it? Even if it happens to be stuff from whatever I'm fond of, chances are I already have some similar merchandise from somewhere else. In short, it'll most likely only end crunching on precious real estate, something which I can already ill afford... |

I don't know, some of the past anime loot boxes seem underwhelming.
Like, who wants a Kill la Kill t-shirt that just has scissor blade diagrams on it. Now if it was a NERV t-shirt with the classic hexagonal warning signs, that would be something. But otherwise you are going to want to have your favorite characters on those t-shirts. I really liked those Aniplex "Madoka Magica" t-shirts that you could buy at Hot Topic. While a bit on the thin side, they still look good after several washes (cold water gentle washes). The only thing that really caught my eye was those "large" picture card (or is it a super mini poster?) thing'ees. I am assuming that the cover art for the next box is going to be similar. Wonder from what anime those two girls are from? We seem to have plenty of time to mull this over, so I am going to be doing some more mulling. |

I don't have the room to display all the stuff that I already have and like. I see no point in buying a miscellaneous box of stuff that likely will not appeal to me. | |||

Omakase is also D.O.A. too, guys. I just tried to use that $3 off coupon on Lootcrate LVL UP+ and it does not work, meaning 'use in any subscription' is also incorrect. Thanks for the info, though. Saved me $5.
Yes. Classics like 'Poo Poo Buttmunch' are best left forgotten. |

Answerman - Why Do American Companies Bother To Release Filler Episodes?
anime
Everyone's irritated by filler, so why do American companies even bother dubbing those episodes and releasing them? Justin gets into it.

Monster Musume: I ♥ Monster Girls GN 1
manga
It's a licensed collection of doujinshi about Okayado's Monster Musume! It's an odd release, but for fans of the original, there are definitely stories to enjoy.
