I thought I'd make a post for once and to start off I'd like to give some pointers on where to go buy anime DVDs. As we all know RightStuf is an awesome website and they tend to have decent sales as well. Right now they're having a VizMedia sale with 40% off most DVDs.
Also I wanted to notify everyone that MovieStop in the Fashion Crossing is having a sale starting February 16th they will have a boxset sale. Now how much off I don't really know yet, but they always have some nice sales too like buy 3 and get 4th used anime DVD free, or 40% off used anime DVDs. And they're pretty decent about the disc quality too.
Okay onward to my fansub heaven moment. For this anime season I've been watching A LOT: Kuroshitsuji, To Aru Majutsu No Index, Hetalia Axis Powers, and Clannad After Story. I'll go into each of these.
Kuroshitsuji is about a young count named Ciel Phantomhive who has a demon for a butler and works secretly for the Queen of England, saving her kingdom from many spirits and mythical creatures. This series is a lot like Cain Saga, so if there's anyone who likes a gothic look with their shows then this is a good one, but it's not always serious it has a lot of funny moments and likeable characters that make someone get attached easily to the show.
To Aru Majutsu No Index is about a lowly level 0 ESPer who finds a nun at his doorstep who holds 103,000 grimoires. He gets tangled up with her trying to save her from a magical society. This show is a lot like Shakugan no Shana, it's even animated by the same studio. So if you want something with a lot of action, character development, and comedy, did I mention a side of romance too?
Hetalia Axis Powers is if countries were actually people/chibis going through various world events. It's actually funny and based off a Japanese web comic. Each episode is also 5 mins long.
Clannad After Story is a continuation of the awesome moe-filled drama called Clannad. This season is based off a secret ending in the original game that only happens after every other ending is finished. I won't say anything else because if I did it would spoil for people who haven't seen the first season.
