March 2014 Anime for Cancer Research

anohana, Australian Cancer Research Foundation, BTOOOM!, Fujiko Mine, Lupin the Third, mysterious girlfriend X, Revolutionary Girl Utena

You know the drill by now: bid on a disc and nominate the cancer research charity of your choice, and I’ll match your bid. $180 has been raised so far this year, I hope to do better this month.

The March 2014 Discs

The discs up for grabs this month are:

1. Anohana – DVD (You want this one. You really do.)
2. BTOOOM! – Blu-Ray (Not for me, but good for what it is.)
3. Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine Part 1 – DVD and Blu-Ray (An impressive prequel.)
4. Mysterious Girlfriend X – DVD (Unwatched.)
5. Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Black Rose Saga – DVD (Worth it just for the extras.)
6. EDIT: Arakawa Under the Bridge Season 1 – DVD
7. EDIT: Bakemonogatari Part 1 – DVD
8. EDIT: Bakemonogatari Part 2 – DVD
9. EDIT: Dusk Maiden of Amnesia – DVD (includes soundtrack)
   

BTOOOM! (2012) is DEFINITELY not for me.

BTOOOM!

BTOOOM! brings the violence, mayhem, and trigger warnings to anime ^[1]. In a sense this is Battle Royale meets Doom with bombs instead of guns.
