Today's acquisitions (11th Dec 2012)

I cheated as the Blu-ray of Children Who Chase Lost Voices (Hoshi Wo Ou Kodomo) arrived a few days ago and it wasn't until now that I remembered to take a picture. The other Blu-ray in the picture is the first Berserk movie, The Golden Age Arc I - The Egg of the King. Both of these are US imports. Accompanying the anime acquisitions is the most recent volume of the Drops Of God manga, 'New World', which is a little annoying as it's skipped ahead in the story and left a gigantic gap. It's especially annoying as they did it to appeal to American readers (the later part of the story features American wines, about which I know absolutely nothing). Let's hope they go back later and release the missing books; ominously, there's no volume number even though this standalone story is part of the ongoing narrative.
