"Be as you wish to seem"-Socrates
Perk of being the receiver of anime-related shipments (unpacking freight/maintaining data)? --- ☆first pick☆first choice☆
Blind box = boxes in a set that you can't tell which is inside. We have alot of those. And who gets to chose majority of what to order? YOURS TRULY (=∇=)
I'd ordered 2 boxes (10 individual boxes in each) of Sengoku Basara: Gakuen Basara Can Strap collection.
heheheheheh
(the artist, Nari, also does a well-known and very pretty doujin series "Revaival")
And, maybe not all Basara fans dig (or know yet of) Gakuen Basara.
A week or so later, noone'd gotten any.
So, to contribute to the fandom + to perhaps to make a little atonement to the store for self-indulging, I started to pick and chose (=ｗ=)
2 weeks later -
By the end of December -
Now -
MWAHAHAHAHAHA FAN-NESS IT BURNS XD
Sasuke, Mitsunari, Chosokabe remain. Undecided on those (=3=)～♪

If you can see that the box is wrapped in tape, this is because we unfortunately had a problem with people prying the boxes open to see inside. Totally destroys the merchandise, making it no longer sell-able. Not to mention giving an unfair advantage that others don't get. So we had to wrap up each box with tape :/
Very disappointing we had to resort to this. Manners, folks, that's all it is (*sigh)
(I still find boxes time to time that have obviously been attempted to pry open though)
About Basara incarnations -- I'm a devoted (say 'avid' and I will bake you cookies) Basara fan, and like to think I have an okay-degree open mind. So most of the Basara incarnations I've accepted and mostly enjoyed. Stage play Basara I totally loved (Tenimyu fever reincarnated), tv drama series was honestly painful but totally digged Gackt-Naga-sama, Gakuen Basara is a fun concept, Takarazuka I haven't seen but say 'why not?'.
Judge End though, my jury's still out on. I only skimmed through a few episodes, -having read spoilers (oh how I've grown since Gundam Seed Destiny). Haven't liked from what I've seen.
First off, the writing was really, REALLY bad. Characters being wish-washy through a series isn't unheard of, but characters (motivation, personality) changed even within one episode. That's just irritating.
Let's put aside that I disagree with some of their character renditions (Ieyasu would've been alot more caring for Oichi than that dammit :/). However. LEAVE THE BASE BE THERE BEFORE YOU ARRANGE. Otherwise, it's either original or a fake.
Somebody figured out JE had the same writer as the Togainu No Chi anime, and has been deemed the criminal and has forever earned by distrust for ruining two of my favorite series (=_=). wait a minute? Togainu anime? What Togainu anime? There's being innovative, then there's disregarding what's liked in a series and running what you want.
The drawing was really bad too. Not the character designs, the actual drawing. That makes what could've been ignore-able flaws major.
So my opinion atm: DAMN YOU CAPCOM. WHAT DID YOU ALLOW?!
(*cough) Σ(・o・) 'scuse me.
Anyways, have fun being a fan y'all. It's fun is what it is XD
Aaaaand as usual I conclude with sounding like I said something good (=∇=)
