The Return of Sailor Moon

So I went on twitter this morning and I see this news post about Funimation acquiring Sailor Moon. Turns out it was just a rumour. Sad story really. It really would be nice if someone would re-dub the entire series without changing the cast or leaving out any episodes.

In other news (also a bit old), Kodansha USA is re-releasing the manga. Maybe I'll finally be able to get my hands on it and read it... even though I don't live in America.

More info at ANN.

Vampire Knight Manga

Yesterday I received yet another package from The Book Depository. This time, it was my Vampire Knight Box Set which contained volumes 1-10 and Vampire Knight volume 11. I'm still surprised this place makes a profit with their dirt-cheap prices and free shipping. It's also amazing that the books are in such good condition. I'm actually very excited to receive the 13 remaining books in my order.

Vampire Knight Box Set Volumes 1-10
RRP: $120 approx.
Cost: $57.82

That's what the books looked like inside.
Vampire Knight Volume 11 (Newest Release for the series)
RRP: $15-17 approx.
Cost: $8.15

The box set comes with an exlusive Day Class Planner. I'm not really into it but the more hardcore fans probably would be.

Since I have no other volume 1s to begin with in any other series, I'm going to start reading this first... unless my Cardcaptor Sakura or Shakugan no Shana.. or The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya arrives. I have to read a novel for English first though. The problem is every time I start English I start procrastinating a lot.

Kuroshitsuji Volume 3

I had the most boring and slow day at school. We had Swimming Carnival and the best part was the cheering but other than that it was super boring. I went to Liverpool Westfield and ordered a biology textbook and bought two English study guides. How boring. I also got some liquid chalk from Spotlight for $1. What a bargain.

The main thing is when I got home I received my first book from The Book Depository. I was quite a surprise since I wasn't expecting it to come this soon. It arrived in perfect condition considering the fact it was shipped in a bubble wrap envelope and I had read many complaints about damaged books. It totally made my day.


I haven't actually read it yet but I have watched the anime and I really liked it. I'll start reading the manga when volume 1 comes in the mail. I'm expecting Cardcaptor Sakura, Shakugan no Shana and Vampire Knight as well. SO EXCITED.

PS. Can you see my awesome MK&A book underneath? :)
