As stated in the title, though getting them was a bit of a pain. Earlier today I called the store and the manager said the order hadn't come in (for Gunslinger Girl). I had already called Thursday and that person said they'd be in Thursday Night. I went over in person a couple hours ago and sure enough the order was in.

I also understand now why some of the forums complained about the Funimation Viridian Collection line. The disc holders are not plastic holders, but either cardboard or something like cardboard sleeves.

I have a lot on my list, but only one active order and it's very small. Won't be in until monday at the earliest.

Labor day sale allowed me to acquire the Case Closed Movies and Monster Girl Doctor. Squid Girl and Moon Phase were items that slipped my net in the past so when they popped up I decided to snag them. Lucky Star was a random find. It was even a new copy and for 26 dollars, so why not?

Tomorrow will have my convention purchases. Look forward to it.

One more season of Hayate the Combat Butler then I'll have...I think...everything released through Sentai. Initial D's gonna be hard to complete.

I will have a big order coming in by Friday. Also my convention will be up soon so I should have something from there by the end of the week. Look forward to some fun stuff by Saturday.

Somehow the plastic packaging on my copy of Garden of Sinners ripped. Mildly annoying. I like to keep my anime wrapped until I'm ready to watch it. Oh well.

I was just about finished taking pictures of this section and re-shelving my anime when I realized I forgot Gintama. So I just took a pic of it by itself, added it at the end and called it a day.

I'm working on assembling 2 older anime. One, I'm only missing 1 volume. The second I'm not even halfway done. That's about it on my update.

All were 20 dollars or less...which I found weird that Shakugan no Shana was 12. I wondered if it was a bootleg...then decided I didn't care as it's still inexpensive. It did match the blu-ray listing so...probably legit.

Never seen Kaze no Stigma, is it good?

Robert's Anime Corner Store came through. Damn expensive though, I'll use him sparingly.

Containing the Final Innings order from Crunchyroll, Mashle. Also the first order from Please Rewind, Reincarnated as a slime steelbooks. Then an assortment of orders from my used DVD stores.

My white whale should be in by the end of the week.

Fate was a hell of a chore to acquire. Haven't gotten Stay Night yet, but I'll get around to it. Haven't decided if I want to acquire Prisma Illya.

I should have something tomorrow to share, and some more stuff later next week.

I think the storefront change is beginning.

Read another person's post who noticed every single Aniplex Blu-Ray release has disappeared from the storefront. I ordered a copy of Mashle Series just this Morning, but checking now, it's gone. Checked SAO, gone (though those had been disappearing all month). Checked Gurren Lagann, gone. Checked Madoka, gone. Checked Rascle Does not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, gone.

I had a thought, started checking general CR Blu-ray titles. A-Rank Party, gone. Re:Zero, gone. Apothecary Diaries, gone.

Checked Lord of Mysteries Pre-order. That one more than everything else should not have been gone, but it is gone. This all being said, not all Blu-rays are gone. If you look up Official Anime Blu-rays and Box-Sets, there is still a small selection present.

I'm not posting this to panic anyone, only to inform. We all knew this was coming. If you find anything left on the site that you want to buy, you might want to pick it up. It may be there until the end of the month, BUT It may not be there tomorrow afternoon.

EDIT: A big thanks to u/dhui1996: here is a link to the new CR store for those interested - https://www.crunchyroll.com/store/collections/all

And it is done. White Whale SAO Season 1 acquired, along with Infinite Stratos, Hayate the Combat Butler Seasons 1 and 3 and Gintama Collection 1. Should have a smaller order by Tuesday and another next week.

Had a lot of overtime this month, so decided to knock out Rascal Series. Also found box 3 of Prince of Tennis and You're Under Arrest minisodes. I'm holding back SAO season 1 until the final 2 volumes come in.

Next week gonna have a big order coming in. Look forward to it.

Well I was working on acquiring a copy of SAO Season 1...but the Extra Volume was a bootleg.

Thankfully I was able to return it and order a legit copy from elsewhere. It should arrive in a week. Further, volumes 1, 3 and 4 were legit copies. Just waiting on Volume 2. Hopefully that volume is legit.

Some of my favorites from D are Death Note, Demon Girl Next Door and Dead Mount, Death Play.

Tomorrow I'll have most of my white whale in, though volume 2 was delayed to the end of the week. I have been getting lots of overtime so I broke my own rules and bought one final CR order. Only thing left I'd want to buy from them now is Mashle.

What can I say, I'm a big Detective Conan/Case Closed Fan. I should start looking for the rest, but now they're gonna be expensive. Also I'm bored waiting for my various orders coming in.

And thus I begin. Entire collection is big and I don't want to take pictures of where I live, so I'll put out my collections in sections. Today are the As plus .hack and 100 girlfriends.

I have season 1 of Arifureta, I'm just don't have the original case. So the blank case is the placeholder for it.

Next week is gonna be exciting. A white whale is coming in in 5 volumes. I'm also trying new online stores and ebay for the first time.

And this is it, unless SAO Season 1 appears in the next couple weeks, but I'm doubtful. I do have Season 2 of Re Zero on backorder, but I'm not waiting forever on it. I'll wait until Monday and call them, requesting ETA on delivery. If I don't like the answer, I'll cancel the order and get it elsewhere.

So long, Crunchyroll! I won't say it was the best experience, but you always delivered when you had your s*** in stock! May your stupid decision to paywall your store earn you exactly what you deserve!

I have One last full order coming in along with Re Zero Season 3 from CR. Re Zero Season 2 has yet to ship but it'll probably ship on the 31st. And that will be it for my CR orders for a long time, saying SAO season 1 doesn't suddenly reappear on the store in the next couple weeks.

This month has left me quite drained of resources...effing CR. But it's over now. August will be another low key month like June was. Maybe I'll start posting my Collection in sections, starting with A.
