I want to comment briefly on some things I received for the Holiday season, or more accurately, things I got for myself upon receiving some select gift cards from Target and Best Buy accordingly from my employer for 1) winning a new Cafe naming constest and 2) being recipient of a Friends of the Library gift card from the Friends organization. From TARGET, I purchased for myself The Legend of Korra, Book 3. I also have Legend of Korra Books 2 & 1 on DVD. I need to listen to the commentary tracks for Book 2 & 3, having finished all the extras for Book 1. I'm also looking forward to the eventual release of Book 4, and yes, for the curious, I also own all the box sets of the original Avatar: The Last Airbender, too.
From Best Buy, I purchased a few Hentai titles and then also invested in RWBY Volume 1 from Rooster Teeth, which I'm quite enjoying so far. On Friday I took some time to look through most of the "special features" of Volume 1. There's also a director's commentary track and a voice actor commentary track that I need to listen through at some point in the future. I also very recently took in the screening of RWBY Vol.2 at Alamo Drafthouse and look forward to watching that again on DVD as well. To the extent that RWBY has drawn in fans for anime that otherwise did not give a f*ck about anime before, I am most grateful. RWBY cosplay continues to live on at Anime conventions, even making it into the latest (Dec) issue of Otaku USA, which I can only note as a positive thing.
This has been a good year for me and for anime. I need to finish up Part 2 of Season 1 of Attack on Titan, I need to get the Time of Eve movie from Right Stuf! and assorted other products, like the next volume of Kill La Kill, say.
