Hope everybody who celebrates it has a wonderful holiday! As usual, we did most of our celebrating yesterday. It was a great day, with lots of yummy food and good company! It was also the first Christmas that my nephew kinda got what was going on, which was fun, although he got bored after opening the first few presents and just wanted to play with all his new toys. *laughs* As for me, I got:

Presents )

Christmas also means Right Stuf's annual Christmas sale. So far I've bought:

Ceres: Celestial Legend DVD boxset
Aria The Animation DVD litebox
Aria The Natural Part 1 & 2 DVD litebox
The Familiar of Zero Seasons 2 & 3
Space Brothers Collection 1, 2, 6

I also plan to order Season 4 of The Familiar of Zero and Collections 3 & 4 of Space Brothers, but I think I'm going to hold off on those until the very last day of the sale, just in case they put up a Mega Deal I might want. BTW, Space Brothers is amazing! I've just streamed the first 26 episodes, but I fell in love with it almost right from the start, so when I saw the sets on sale, I decided to stop streaming and just buy it. (Unfortunately, I missed the Mega Deal on Collection 5, but I'll pick it up eventually.)

Inspired by The Mike Toole Show column at Anime News Network, I thought it would be fun to make my own "Anime Alphabet", listing the titles of my favorite series I've watched for each letter of the alphabet. Feel free to make your own list if you'd like!

A Aria
B Black Butler (I briefly considered going with Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon instead, but since I had a few B English titles to choose from, it seemed unfair to go with a Japanese title for this letter.)
C Card Captor Sakura
D Death Note
E Evangelion
F Fruits Basket
G Ghost Hunt (I debated about putting Ginban Kaleidoscope here instead, but I decided to stick with licensed series.)
H Hare + Guu
I I My Me! Strawberry Eggs
J Jigoku Shoujo (a.k.a Hell Girl -- I had to cheat a little with this one and use the Japanese title to find one that started with a J.)
K Kaleido Star
L Le Chevalier D'eon
M Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit
N NANA
O Ouran High School Host Club
P Princess Nine
Q ... Yeah, I've got nothing. If I included manga, I could use Queen of Ragtonia... Oh, apparently when you translate the Japanese title of Excel Saga (Heppoko Jikken Animation Excel Saga), you get Quack Experimental Animation Excel Saga, so that'll work for Q in a convoluted way!
R Rah-Xephon
S Super GALS
T Tiger & Bunny
U Ultramaniac
V Vampire Knight
W Witch Hunter Robin
X X (as in the CLAMP series)
Y Yamada's First Time (but I also considered Yona of the Dawn, only excluding it because it's not complete at this moment)
Z Zero no Tsukaima (a.k.a Familiar of Zero -- Again, as with J, I had to look at the Japanese titles to find one that started with Z.)

10. A manga/anime that makes you fluffy and happy when you read/watch it

All the way through? I can think of plenty of series that have a lot of happy, fluffy episodes (Card Captor Sakura, Sailor Moon, Ouran High School Host Club, Ultramaniac, and A Little Snow Fairy Sugar immediately come to mind), but they have their more drama-filled episodes as well. Hmm, maybe Aria? It's been a while since I watched it, though, so I can't really remember. Either that, or Azumanga Daioh. Those two are probably the closest to being pure fluffy happiness.
