[Southe,]

How much did all of that set you back?

[Neversoft]

I spent about £400. The corner of my room is just filled with stuff.

My dad went somewhere and took the camera with him so no pictures for now.

Pictures!

^ Gurren Lagann Limited Edition Boxset, Evangelion Platinum Boxset, Gunbuster 2 OVA, Tokyo Godfathers and Millennium Actress movies. I never even knew Gunbuster 2 had even been released over here. I couldn't find anything about it on the internet... the DVD is region 2 though! It's real!



^ Inside the Gurren Lagann Boxset is of course the DVDs plus Simons core drill that lights up, a Yoko pin badge and a Dai Gurren Brigade logo you can iron onto your clothes. I wore the Yoko badge on sunday. :8 I stuck a 20th Century Boys sticker on it though and after I peeled it off this morning it left a huge sticky mark on the badge and I had to scrub it off. -_- Now it looks pretty dirty but the camera didn't pick it up. Next expo I'll pin it to my hat and stick no stickers on it!



^ Inside the EVA Platinum Boxset is a 60 page booklet, three art cards and of course the DVDs. Also included are four directors cut episodes hence seven volumes for a 26 episode series. This cost £60 alone.



^ Gon volume 2 to 6. I already own volume 1 and I couldn't find volume 7 anywhere. Don't let the cover fool you, this is a mens manga for manly men.



^ Gintama volume 12, Bleach volume 26, Peace Maker Kurogane volume 1 & 2 and Gurren Lagann volume 1. I've been waiting for a whole year for the Peace Maker Kurogane manga to finally get released - I hope it's as good as it's prequel! I've read a bit of the Gurren Lagann manga and so far it's almost identical to the anime at parts, but completely different at others, but that doesn't even matter because the changes are good. For an anime turned manga it also has fantastic art.



^ The Ice Wanderer, The Walking Man and Quest For The Missing Girl. I became a fan of Jiro Taniguchi after I read The Walking Man a few months ago. I had to buy some more of his manga! I was looking at the manga at this stall for a good five minutes and then when I picked up The Walking Man and decided to buy it the guy behind the stall was like "Good choice! That's one of my favourites." I was happy to know other people in the world appreciate this unknown masterpiece.



^ 20th Century Boys volume 1 & 2 and Pluto volume 1 to 3. As you probably already know, I finished all 24 volumes of 20th Century Boys in three weeks last month but I just had to buy the first two volumes. That's all thats out so far, but Viz are releasing one volume every two months. So hopefully in four years the whole series will finally be available to buy over here. Wait! Four years!? Sob. It feels so good to own 20th Century Boys though. Pluto is another manga by the same author. It's a remake of one section of Astro Boy. With Urasawa's input it must be hardcore. Can't wait to read it!



^ Vagabond volume 1 to 3, Haruhi volume 2 and Pretty Face volume 1 to 3 and volume 6. Vagabond, I've been told, is one of the best mangas ever created so I thought I'd buy the first three volumes and check it out. After flicking through it does indeed look amazing. I was quite disappointed by the Haruhi manga but I bought the second volume anyway, and I own Pretty Face volume 4 and 5 so I bought the missing volumes I needed.



^ Genshiken volume 1 to 9. Complete series. I watched the anime a while ago and loved it and lately the manga keeps popping up on various forums and websites I visit. I checked it out on MyAnimeList and a review this guy on there typed upon completing the series convinced me to buy it. It was totally appropriate for the expo like atmosphere as well. Can't wait to read it!



^ Trigun Maximum volume 7 to 14. I have the first six volumes plus the prequels so I thought I'd buy the rest. The last volume I think was only released recently. I'm still missing volume 13 though. Also, how cool is the cover for volume 10? Wolfwood is awesome.



^ Heres a bunch of other stuff I obtained at the expo. Free DVDs, comics, art cards, etc. I bought the Red Dwarf book so Craig Charles would sign it ^_____^



^ Chris of Smeeeeeeeg. Craig Charles is a legend. I didn't really speak to him much though because I didn't know what to say. Now I kind of wish I bought a poster instead of the book so I could have put it on my wall for all to see. I was afraid it would get damaged though and a book was sturdier. Also, the signature above Craig's was already there. To be honest I don't know who's signature it is. It's not a familiar name to me.



^ 20th Century Boys poster everyone got in the freebie bags. I have about four of them.



^ Death Note poster that is on the back of the 20th Century Boys Poster.



^ Blood The Last Vampire poster which also came in the freebie bag. I think I have two of these.



^ Gurren Lagann poster I got for free for buying the limited edition boxset. Definitely gonna put this one up!



^ ...and that is the end. Theres how my anime and manga collection is looking these days. I don't think I've ever been so satisfied with my purchases. For once there is actually nothing more I want to buy.

[Southe,]

[Neversoft]

Gon has been released over here quite a few times by different publishers so the chances are you've seen a comic version of Gon somewhere or another, but he was also a playable character in Tekken 3.

It's fun multiplied by one million. Depending on what you buy, it's a hassle to get it all back to wherever you live though. I always buy too much.

THATS THE ONE!!!! I KNEW IT! He sucked balls but he was awesome at rolling about.

I spent my younger years playing tekken with my friends on my street, oh the good times.
