Manga & Anime

Manga:
So I went to Waldens today to check for manga. I had my coupon with me, so I was ready. ^^ I really wanted to pick up Hot Gimmick 4, but sadly, it wasn't there. No problem. I placed an order for it ^^ Next week, man *wink*

I then spotted the first volume of Chrono Crusade and grabbed it. I had totally forgot about it's release. I'm quite excited about this series. To me, it sorta reminds me of Saiyuki--except with chicks!

Instead of a gun-toting, anti-social monk [Sanzo] with his 'monkey'companion [Goku], in Chrono Crusade you have a gun-toting, very-social nun [Rosette] with her young demon
companion 'Chrono.' Both groups consists of 4 members and have their own missions to carry out. Aside from, that the story is much more different. Plus, this series is shorter than Saiyuki [should be ending in Japan this June].

The only sad thing about this manga is that the time between volume releases is gonna be long...very long. Volume 2 won't be out until AUGUST!!! ~_~ *dislikes waiting* Just TOO long, darnit!

Anime:
Yep. Saiyuki Reload has been licensed by Geneon, instead of the present company, ADV. Is this a good thing?

On one hand, I like the availability ^^ The change in voicing will be stange, but hey, who says I have to watch the dub, right? Hopefully, my sister will agree to purchase this series. More Sanzo-Party is always fun to watch ^^

BUT...I haven't heard THAT many great things about Reload--mainly minor complaints about the animation, AND that the series is full of filler epsiodes. Because of that, I may acquire the manga INSTEAD of the anime [but THAT will be tricky]. *sighs* Decisions, decisions...

Chrono Crusade. Yes, I'm collecting the manga, but with my sheer interest in the series, I plan on collecting the DVDs as well. Like I said, there aren't THAT many series coming out this year that beckons my moolah.

Aside from finishing up Pretear, I haven't spent a single buck on anime this year. I'm pretty proud ^^. My anime diet is going well [Saiyuki doesn't count 'cause it belongs to my sister].

I'm not getting Gravitation, and Full Metal Alchemist is coming out on Cartoon Network.

The only other series that may tempt my thin wallet are Get Backers, DNAngel, and Rave Master [also coming on CN, but..but..still]. I must resist! And I shall! But Chrono Crusade is a definite purchase *^^*
