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.)

Man, I love bargain hunting at Amazon Marketplace. I finally decided to use up my last Visa gift card and bought myself a ton of CLAMP, because I have apparently decided that I need to own ALL their licensed works. (Except for X. I won't be buying that until they start working on it again. And Man of Many Faces, because Vol. 2 is ridiculously expensive.) I blame it on the Southside Artbook I bought a few weeks ago. After seeing all those gorgeous pictures, I need more of the pretty.

Anyway, I ordered the Northside Artbook, Miyuki-chan in Wonderland, both volumes of Duklyon Clamp School Defenders, all three volumes of Clamp School Detectives, and the first four of the five volumes of Angelic Layer. (I ran out of money on the card before I could get the last one.) My one non-CLAMP purchase was the Vol. 5 disc of Hare + Guu that I needed to finish the main series. Paid close to retail for it, but it was the cheapest available, and I didn't want to risk the possibility of never getting it. Besides, I got such a good deal on everything else that I didn't really mind paying a little extra for it.

Now I just need to get that last volume of Angelic Layer, finish up xxxHolic (which I hear is about to end soon), collect Tokyo Babylon and RG Veda, and start on Kobato., and my collection will be complete!

Yeah... I may be a little insane.

Some people like to celebrate the holiday by making resolutions. Me? I prefer splurging on anime. ^_^ I used up two of the three Visa gift cards I got for Christmas on orders from Right Stuf.

With the $75 card my sister gave me, I bought:
CLAMP South Side Artbook - I've been wanting a CLAMP artbook forever, and since it was in the Bargain Bin, the price was right. Unfortunately, they don't have the North Side artbook. Guess I'll have to find a copy at Amazon Marketplace.
Slayers OVA Collection - I picked up all five seasons of the main series thanks to that amazing deal during their 12 Days of Anime sale, and I've really enjoyed what I've seen so far -- I'm almost finished with the second season -- so getting the OVAs was a bit of no-brainer, especially at only ten dollars.
Vols. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 of Hare + Guu - This anime is HILARIOUS! And since Netflix is missing some discs, buying them is the only way I'll be able to watch the whole serious. Too bad they didn't have Vol. 5, though. Guess that's another thing I'll be picking up at the Marketplace.
$1 Blind Box item - Eh, I had a dollar left on the card, and it'll be fun to see what I get.

And with one of the $100 cards from my parents, I ordered:
Kaze no Stigma boxset
Bamboo Blade boxset
Gurren Lagann boxset - I almost got Spice and Wolf instead, but Gurren Lagann has more episodes for the same price and I liked it a little more.
Keychain of Light from Death Note

Pretty nice haul for $175, right? I'll probably leave the last gift card for ordering stuff from the Marketplace.
