This was a surprising amount of work, as I found myself going back through my old mail files to recollect exactly how I wound up with each item. A pretty high portion arrived in April or May, actually, since that's a time I've gotten used to buying with a little wilder abandon than the rest of the year. So in October (say) I'll look closely at something available and ask 3 or 4 times, "do I really need this?" But after a Lent of avoiding auctions and sale sites I'm much more apt to say "Oh, what the hell!"

Which of course is a good reason to check out the new 2012 "May Madness" stuff....

I'm most satisfied with the CCS additions, especially being able to reunite the gengas with the cels I'd located from the "Fly Capture" scene:

But there were several series that got some splashy upgrades:

Tenshi ni Narumon OP Sequence (2 new genga sets):

Asatte no Houkou, Ep. 7 (one of my favorite episodes):

Maeterlinck's Blue Bird (relatively unknown here, but obviously an anime of great interest):

Condition Green OVA (also nearly unknown -- but was there ever a more flamboyant villain than "Bad Girl"?)

And -- Sensei's great guilty pleasure -- the naughty OVA Usagi-chan de Cue!! (watch out for my very first hentai cel!)
