Cowboy Bebop Ltd. Edition Box Set: Soooo worth the wait. Especially the Yoko Kanno piano solo on Disk 4. The graphic design/packaging is really slick, too: Think "Prohibition Era" gangster-style.

Silent Mobius, Vol. 3: Dark Destiny: This is the the way to end a series when the manga hasn't reached its final conclusion. It was really touching and will probably make sense within the comic's ultimate continuity.

FLCL, Vol. 1: I'm saying this in total admiration — Were they smoking crack when this was greenlighted and produced?! This series is really bold. And it makes me want a Vespa like Haruko's.

Awesome TV, so far this season: 24 (Keiiifffeeer!), John Doe and Firefly are really cool.
