yergh... just finished a weekend at the anime-con Kumoricon. No Soul Eater merch at all .... though the vendors were buried in Death Note and "the usual naru-bleached-piece" stuff.

Can we say ..... lost sales opportunities?

Deathkillz · 2008-09-02, 18:16

It's always the same o' thing if it isn't in Japan

I still have my wish to go there yet to be fulfilled.

Fruit Punch Samurai · 2008-09-03, 09:42

Is there any differences between the broadcast and DVD versions or is it just the same....

Vexx · 2008-09-03, 16:43

There are *always* differences between broadcast and DVD content. And fansubs are often lossy in visual quality compared to DVD quality (though they make up for it with more capability in subtitling or with what some consider better translation).
Sometimes it is subtle, like just cleaning up animation or visual moments. Sometimes, its a change in editing to improve a scene. Sometimes its actually providing more fan-service or a bit beyond what television standards allow.

In the last few years, anime producers have really picked up on the idea that the DVDs provide more of the above as an incentive to buy them, sometimes by explicitly cutting back on the anime broadcast production elements.

Hmm, hobby link japan and play-asia seems to have some stuff coming in later this year, but still no stickers ;_;

You can get the whole set over at ToysLogic instead of buying random and hoping you get lucky at PlayAsia. Might end up costing more than 6 in total, but unless you're lucky you'll end up spending more.

Game Trailer... I want a Nintendo Wii now.

OutSmart · 2008-10-24, 18:33

Katocchi · 2008-10-25, 11:20

Then ... I want a Shinigami Ring,, Broach,, and maybe his Mask,, Nyahahaha

OutSmart · 2008-10-25, 11:34

touché

btw, if people didnt look pathetic in the real world (lol) with that super kid-kun's coat (which resembles that shadow like body of the death god) would be something rly badass to wear lol. AND it would be a rly good merchandise piece to collect - cosplays would go wild lol.

I would buy some good miniature statues from Stein wielding spirit and Kid-kun with the thompsons if those statues were made to look, in perfect proportions, like the anime.

I'd have robes like Kid so long as they didn't disappear like Kid's did mysteriously part way through episode 15 (after he was being shot at by Nidhogg). Would be fun to wear. I'm not one for statues, but a keyring or something small and functional like that would be neat.

Chopki · 2008-10-25, 12:29

Anoyone know if u can get an keychains or anything with the sun or moon on them?

OutSmart · 2008-10-25, 12:45

dunno anything about that but its a pretty cool idea, its one stylish detail of the series that most stands out in the very first episodes, that i could use.

replying to imd_84; I like statues and posters, even though they are just for showing and you cant ove them around at ease, they stay ther, in your bedroom, living room wathever for people to see when they pass by them and for you, if you like to collect stuff, to make your little "homage" to something that you liked a lot. I tend to do that, collect cool items, that relate to games i've played, anime i've seen or movies.

BUT, i also like those items that you say are more functional. I hate rings, so thats out for me, but i could use those keychains chopki mentioned and something like those headphones justin uses. or a cool t-shirt with manga style drawing, not colered like the anime, i hate t-shirts with bright colors.

lmd_84 · 2008-10-25, 13:20

My one anime merchandise purchase that wasn't a DVD or CD was an FMA t-shirt. It actually fits nicely, as well as being a blatant indication of my fangirlish-ness over the series.

I do actually have one statue. It's an old Clarecraft Discworld one of the Librarian. I got it as a birthday present years ago, and love it.

When I was a student, I had a couple of anime posters up in my room (a generic Tokyopop one and a GiTS one). Took them down when family came to visit, though. They were nothing bad, but I felt embarrassed over having them up there.

OutSmart · 2008-10-25, 14:48

I am yet to see Full Mtal Alchemist (aswell as Code Geass and Elfenlied) but its on the w8ing list.. i dont usually have much time to watch anime, or post in forums for that matter, but this weekend i've got free time.

I dont think i own any anime T-Shirt atm but i would go for a cool one, and i woul wear it with pride lol ^^

About the posters.. I think it is no problem to have a few on the walls. On my bedroom or in my study I have a few posters: of master chief, The Matrix, kill bill, pulp fiction, star wars IV, cowboy bebop, last exile and guild wars; here and there. they dont embarass me.. but hey, i'm 18, by the time i own my own house i'll say how it actually goes LOL

btw.. now i'm rly in the mood to buy a good anime T-shirt ^^

Sides · 2008-10-25, 18:33

Don't know about soul eater T-shirts, but there are 2 funny hoodies. A Shinigami and a Medusa one. Fun bit is you can zip it to the top and it has a Shinigami mask in the front.

Oh yeah, and there is the excalibur T-shirt ^_^
Shiningami Hoody
Medusa Hoody

OutSmart · 2008-10-25, 18:44

Would buy the excalibur t-shirt (oh yeh you heard me), some posters and those little shimigamis from this picture

Sides · 2008-10-25, 18:48
