It would have been cool if they had a new shadow drop anime game released in February to go with this announcement.

I'm sure it'll be Soul Hackers since I just bought it on sale for $29...


Almost no reason to actually buy games on the Live store with GamePass, lol

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Don't care much about anime but 80~85% discount on games is always welcome.

Why even do this when almost none of this shit is available in almost any of the Xbox-supported regions.
The rewards are never available here. Anime TV isn't available, shit the Xbox Wire post just redirects to the US website.
I'm so sick of this bullshit.

Yes the Call of Duty and FIFA/Madden console has soooo many people who play Japanese games lol
Is there really need to warrior or attempt a derail?

Anyway on topic, tempted to buy Code Geass season 1 & 2.

& Might grab the Blue Exorcist movie & the full metal alchemist movie (as I've never seen the FMA 2019 movie)

Any cool suggestions from anyone here?

I haven't watched a great deal of anime.
 
They really chose to do 'anime month' instead of black history month lmao

Edit: nvm the black history month post was just further down the page lol
