EXPIRED Anime & Manga Deals: World Television Day Edition

Krystallina November 21, 2021 1 Comment

TV Retro

It’s almost Thanksgiving, and you know what that means — Black Friday is right behind! But because of the pandemic, the big deal blitz is being spread out even further, with many sales kickoffs starting today.

In fact, when this goes live, I’ll be trying to pick up a few items. (And trying to get the heck out of dodge — don’t let your guard down with the virus!) So this might not be as full of a list as normal, so be sure to check your favorite stores and here for future roundups.

But yes, today is World Television Day so… sounds like we should all pitch in and watch anime today. And if someone tries to stop you, you tell them it’s an actual day that has been designated by the UN. The more you know!

And on to the deals!

EXPIRED Anime & Manga Deals: Zero Tasking Day Edition

Krystallina November 7, 2021 3 Comments

Sleeping Dog

For most of us in the US, we turned our clocks back and got an extra hour of sleep. That also means it’s zero tasking day, a day to relax!

It’s also National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, and also National Canine Lymphoma Day, so I was going to use a picture of a dog sleeping today to combine them all. But there were too many cute pictures!! I couldn’t decide which one to use, so I ended up with a generic (but cute) image. So chill out, and give an extra hug to your doggos and other furbabies/fursiblings today.

Also, while Halloween is over, several deals from that roundup are still valid if you missed it. Otherwise, take a peek at these latest sales!
