Quick Picks 11/26/09

Gia tells you what to buy, and you obey! OBEEEEEY!

Certainly you guys didn't think we were going to take Thanksgiving off? For those of you planning to spend some time out shopping tomorrow, God help you-- and here's this weeks top picks to keep an eye out for good deals on. 
 
Also, a CORRECTION: I realized AFTER we recorded the video that Spice and Wolf is up for pre-order, but is not coming out on DVD until December 22nd, so my apologies for its inclusion here. But it's cool, we can always use an excuse to show more nekkid!Holo footage. I also noticed that Moyas(h)imon isn't available in standard issue on Amazon, but Del Rey Manga continues to list it as having an 11/24 release-- let me know if you have trouble finding it.
  
 
And here's a full list of this week's releases! For those of you who can't watch the video because your parents are in the same room and you're trying to pretend NOT to be browsing the 'net on your PSP or cell phone, I've bolded our picks for the week. 
 
So, who's thinking about buying what? :D

I'll wait for all of Nana to be released on DVD before I choose to buy it. Just as a precaution in case for some reason, future releases of the later portions of the series get halted.

And oh man, Spice and Wolf owns my soul. No amount of Bamboo or Blades will stand between me and it comes out.

I do enjoy the personality you are adding to these. Makes them informative and entertaining.

@GrandMarshal: He is actually a Squeeball, and was originally gifted to Giant Bomb, but they wanted to murder him after about a day, so Anime Vice adopted him.
 
Perhaps someday I'll tell everyone the full details of his origin story ;)

I mis-read "Keep an eye out for those new titles"...
I am ashamed.
