The Anime Blog’s Garage Sale Giveaway!


Our July 2007 Garage Sale Giveaway Items!We recently moved and in the process of moving, we discovered that we had a whole lotta stuff we didn’t want or couldn’t use. In fact, we have a box full of manga and anime just sitting in the corner of my office, annoying me and taking up space. I’d love to give this stuff away in a series of giveaways I dub “Garage Sale Giveaways”.

However, instead of randomly pulling user names outta hats as previously done and ending up with reply e-mails stating “What’d I win and who are you?”, I’m setting up a comment post system. Not just that, but the giveaway will only conclude after 100 comments by 100 different readers have been posted.

For whatever odd reason, readers have been hesitant to post comments on previous giveaways, even though the loot was good and there were no strings attached.

The Anime Blog has never and will never share your private info with anyone. Ever! To show you guys that we’re committed to keeping your info secure, we’ve put up a new Privacy Policy. It’s always been enforce – but now it’s in writing. :)

I was exposed to anime as a child while living in Germany after watching the Japanese version of Hans Christian Anderson’s the Little Mermaid. In high school, a classmate in art brought in Akira as an example of Japanese art. I wasn’t very impressed with anime at the time, but my re-exposure to it in 2000 thanks to Escaflowne had me hooked for life.After sorting out what I liked about anime (great stories, beautiful animation and epic battles) and disliked about anime (big boobs, angst-y 15 year-old kids, most mecha, sports stories and style-over-substance), I got into it with a vengeance.I do love almost all aspects of Japanese culture and try to be involved with it as much as possible. I have no problem admitting that I incorporate a lot of Japanese trends and traditions into my life as I modify them and make them my own. Anime is a big part of that, along with all the sub-cultures, past and present.

    @Neo Horizon, it’s not first come, first served; entrants can choose any of the above items. It doesn’t matter if someone else listed the same thing in their comment. There will be only one winner chosen randomly from 100 entrants so if you want Ichigo Mashimaro, go for it!

    Goodie….

    Samurai X: Trust

  30. Ronnie the Band Midget

    I’ve heard a couple people say Strawberry Marshmallow is good stuff, so that’d probably be my number one. What little I’ve seen of Samurai X was fun, so that’d be a nice second choice. I’ve also heard Escaflowne is good, so that would be nice as well.

  31. The Radish Spirit

    Ichigo Mashimaro Complete Series

    Not that I have much chance, considering it’s been posted so many times. xD But you can
    always hope, right?

  37. Iris A
