Why does link looks so annoyed on that cover? "Urgh, do we really need a picture of me on the cover? People will just think I'm Zelda."
How's legend of galactic knight in manga form? Doesn't it goes on for like 5 billions volume, any chance they'll actually bring all of them over? |

For the "Spice & Wolf Anniversary Collector's Edition Novel", if you click on the shopping link, you get a Right Stuf page that says:
Page not found Sorry, we could not load the content you requested. The book was available again on November 9, but I'm figuring that it was sold out again before today. Right Stuf sent out an email on November 9 saying the book was available and that "Got Anime?" members could get 15% off, but the email also said "Get It While You Can!" and "LIMITED QUANTITIES!", and the title of the email was "Don't Miss It Again! GA Members Only Coupon - Limited Quantity!!". |

It looks like you're right about Spice & Wolf. It was definitely in stock this weekend when the guide was being prepared.

I was just wondering the other day if Viz was planning on releasing a hardback omnibus for Tomie since they'd been doing that for Ito's other manga recently. So this makes me very happy, since it's one of my favorite manga. I'll definitely be gifting it to myself.

I'm really interested in that NEW GAME! book. I may have to pick that up.

Monster Girl Encyclopedia looks like a great gag gift.

The One Punch Man t-shirt looks like an interesting buy; including the long wallet for rebuild of evangelion.
Well that's all that really interesting me in the fashion section, oh!, also the hoodie for the ipod one as well. |

NERV logo is a fig leaf, not a maple leaf. Maple leaves are more angular, with spiky rather than serrated edges.

The price for the hats seems to be copy-pasta from the unicorn scarf. It says over a hundred when they're actually $20ish

These are... sort of bad. Especially since there's so much good anime-based fashion around now (like SuperGroupies). But I guess those are sort of harder to get your hands on in like a month.
But that stuff is sort of bad looking. Also... women can wear men's clothes but men can't wear women's clothes? Guys should be more unisex too...that stuff isn't even particularly feminine. You need to like, ditch the gender labels altogether and put some like, Alice and the Pirates or something in there. Everyone needs less jeans and t-shirts, and more frills, regardless of gender. |

Honey So Sweet GN 4
manga
Honey So Sweet continues to live up to its title in this fourth volume, even though a bit of angst is rearing its dangerous head.
― If Horimiya is the sweetest shounen romance currently being published in English, Honey So Sweet is its shoujo equivalent. Amu Meguro's story about an adorably awkward high school couple is much tamer than its shounen counterpart and at times sweet enough to rot your tee...
Answerman - Why Aren't There More Classic Anime Kickstarters?
anime
Escaflowne, Bubblegum Crisis, Otaku no Video - classic anime kickstarters seem to do great, so why don't we see more of these?
― Reed asks: How come more anime companies don't run Kickstarters or other crowd-funding options to pay for recording English dubs or for funding Blu-ray releases? AnimEigo has done a few titles, some manga has been done this way, and Funimation did Escaflowne's redub throug...
Girls und Panzer der Film
anime
The Girls und Panzer movie may not be Shakespeare, but it sure is fun! Nick Creamer discusses the dub premiere of this diamond in the rough.
― Tsutomu Mizushima is not an arthouse director. In contrast with those directors who generally leave a clear aesthetic signature on their productions, or who impart all their works with some socially relevant commentary, Mizushima's work is defined by polish, m...

The Best and Worst of the Season So Far: Week of Nov 12-18
anime
Gundam leaps to the front of the pack this week, while Izetta seeks redemption from its recent plummet. See where your own faves rank!
― Our team of reviewers are following 27 anime series of the Fall 2016 season and readers are rating each episode as the reviews go up. So let's have a look at what ANN readers consider the best (and worst) of the season. Keep in mind that these rankings are based on...
"Who Is The Next Hayao Miyazaki?"
anime
Seems like every new anime director with half a success gets called "the next Miyazaki". Kevin Cirugeda considers the most common "Next Miyazakis", and why that title is totally dubious.
― If every anime viewer were to write a shortlist of the most essential creators in the industry, I have no doubt that Hayao Miyazaki would receive the most mentions with a massive lead over everyone else. And that's...
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 2 GN 4
manga
The finale of the Battle Tendency arc is an amazing combination of insane fighting and Victorian melodrama as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure continues to impress.
― The world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a strange one, even by the standards of shounen or seinen battle manga. Part of this is the necessary supernatural element of the story – the hamon, the Pillar Men's powers and lifespans, and the amazing...
Answerman - Why Are Some Dubs Adapted So Much?
anime
Justin explains why some dub scripts are so heavily modified for an English-speaking audience and just how much the Japanese side knows about these changes.
― Victoria asks: I like watching Hetalia since the beginning because of the little references to world history. I tried watching the dubbed version, but all the dialogue changed to have a lot of cursing and pop culture jokes which I can't stand ...

James jumps back into the world of Gatchaman with its striking second season, while Paul runs down all this week's new anime releases!
― I can always tell if a video game has me hooked by how often I catch myself talking to the characters. I bought a car racing version of all those sports manager games recently, and I've already fallen into the habit of berating my imaginary drivers every time they ...
Sword Art Online: Progressive Novel 4
novels
A long-overdue split between Kirito and Asuna's viewpoints results in the best and most complete novel of the series to date. Theron Martin dives in.
― Volumes 2 and 3 of the Progressive series were told entirely from Kirito's viewpoint, which I felt was a disservice to his co-star Asuna. That changes with this volume, making it the best and most complete story to date for this branch of the franchis...
