What's worth buying this week? Watch and find out.
By gia manry | Feb. 23, 2010
Whew, looks like we just barely managed to get this week's Quick Picks out-- it took a while to hunt down Geekachu to get 'em done. (The only sure way to trap a Geekachu: a copy of Words Worth or another fine hentai sitting under a box being held up with a stick. Just don't forget to tie a string around the stick so you can tug it and trap him!)

I have some interest in Maria-Holic after John always talking about the show. May have to check it out at some point.
I haven't had a chance to check out Soul Eater in the US. My local Borders has yet to actually have a single Volume on the self. I want to see if they made any changes or edits before purchasing.
I am looking forward to Del Rey's Negima! Vol. 25. I actually plan to write a review for that. In anticipation I've been working on filling out information on the series. Including detailed descriptions on early volumes.
Negima! Volume 1 and Negima Volume 2.
I do like the anime Maria+Holic, but if the DVDs don't have Japanese with subtitles. I'm not buying. I find that comedy series normally don't have the best dub work.
Nothing you all had said. I'm just unfamiliar with the publisher and didn't realize they only did subtitled series.
I'm kidding gia.
Oh cool a tease for next week. Alright so if Geekachu is excited for whatever this release is it has to either have one or a combination of:
So what has that in it that is coming out soon?
