But i’ve also heard, that it was stoped ’cause of small budget of movie, but they’re still have in plans to continue filming.
Thank you for your answer!! I’ve never thought that amazon Japan ship worldwide, i thought that it’s only for Japan :DD
@Seia: Glad to help! :D The anime adaption was amazing. I was rather sad they didn’t create more episodes.
Sweet, i would only like to ask is it possible for anyone (for me for example) to buy (order) this stuff on any site? I’m deep fan of Ai No Kusabi and i would like to have smth like this also. If you have any ideas where can i get it, can you please advice some?
@Seia: I included a couple of links to CDJapan in the post. They are clear in listing whether it is the limited edition or not.
You can also check out HMV Japan http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/search/keyword_ai+no+kusabi/target_SEARCH/type_sr/ which also lists whether it is limited edition.
Amazon Japan is also a good place to check out. http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_n_1?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=n%3A562020%2Ck%3A%E9%96%93%E3%81%AE%E6%A5%94&keywords=%E9%96%93%E3%81%AE%E6%A5%94&ie=UTF8&qid=1424143511&rnid=2321267051
All of them ship worldwide. Compare the shipping prices and find which works best for you :)
Wow! This is just full of so much win! :) Thanks so much for even sharing pics of your fabulous treasure. I’ve been on an absolutely massive AnK binge since watching the remake episodes earlier this summer so anything that can sate my seemingly endless appetite for AnK @ the moment is very much appreciated. As you can guess from my frothing above, no £££ so thanks for this.
@Ilmarien: Thanks for your comment! I just realised I forgot to post the last volume! I’ll get it up soon :D I hope you can afford them one day <3 They're definitely worth collecting.
Rikki and that T-back… <3
@shi-en-ta: :D~~~ yes.
That’s an awesome package! I’m always in awe at the stuff that comes with the limited editions of BD/DVD sets. The keychain is adorable.
I want to collect a series myself but the BD’s are so expensive -.-; Though, I am starting out collecting Kuroko no Basket >: Too bad, they don’t have limited releases.
And another I’d like to collect is Natsume Yuujinchou but looking at the prices make me want to cry T.T
@momo: The JP versions are expensive but we’re paying for what we get I guess. The goodies, production quality etc. but we should buy only if we really must have it :)
I was tempted to collect Natsume Yuujinchou ever since it started but didn’t succumb due to lack of $$$ and now after 4 seasons, the price of all the discs added together… orz;; Kuroko no Basket first-press editions are still killers, aren’t they :D
Another wonderful package! Key keychain (not an intentional pun XD) turned out pretty cute, never expected that! All those special items made the whole time waiting all worth it! After delays, cancelations and long months with no news, it was a great surprise to me AnK really was released, and what a awesome animation and story.
@planck-chan: Thankfully they did! Let’s hope the sales generate enough profits to encourage them to make the rest of the episodes… cos vol. 4 isn’t the end at all.
