Seeya 2005, Hello 2006!
RANT
2005 has finally come to an end. In terms of anime related activities, 2005 has been a really eventful year for me. My anime collection grew from just a handful to a bookshelf full. So much so that I needed to buy a new bookshelf to fit them all in. I have been watching anime for a long time now, but it's only this year that I have bought anime on a massive scale. I have spent more money on anime this year than all the other years combined.
Incidentally, the first anime I bought in 2005 was the region 1 Patlabor 2 movie, and the last I bought was the region 1 Patlabor TV series. I didn't plan for that from the start. No, seriously, I didn't. Anyway, I still have the get the first Patlabor OVA series to complete the whole Patlabor saga. That's probably what I'll get in the near future.
In September, I volunteered in my first Manifest. That also marked the first anime convention I have ever attended. It was great fun. Lots of anime to watch, and I also picked up a few treasures. You can read about that in my Manifest blog.
So what's the plan for 2006? I dare say I'll continue to accumulate unwatched anime by buying more and keep a lot of people employed. There are so many more series that I wanted, for example, Ranma, Maison Ikkoku, Nadia, Gundam, etc., etc. Although I'm not as hard core as some otaku who travel around the country attending anime cons, I will most probably reappear at Manifest as a volunteer again (provided that it's being held, of course).
I'm off to Japan this February (Wahoo!). So in between the temples and castle towns, I am sure I'll find some time to spend my hard earned cash on anime things, most probably PVC figurines. The only problem I have right now is how to bring them back.
