The first hit is free, but the 2nd one will cost you your life

Damn, I have never ever considered spending over 40 dollars for a pair of shoes, or ~100 for a nice pair of dress shoe—but 185? Shit.さくらぎさんになりたいです。

The thing about anime is, while watching it is free, you'll eventually want to own a piece of a series you really like in some kind of form of merchandise. Some of these merchandise can be ridiculously expensive, thus making lives harder for poor people who can't manage money—people like me. I'm sure I'll be able to find a way to justify purchasing these by the time Nov 1 rolls around.

 For the record the most expensive thing I've ever wanted to buy after watching an anime is probably this: 僕はこの車が欲しいです！

Seeing it in action on Initial D, and being one one of my most driven cars in Gran Turismo just makes me want to own one. I was incredibly jealous when I found out somebody in my dorm had one when he gave me a ride. At least I can say I've been in one now. If Mitsubishi is still alive or bought out by a reputable company who plans on continuing to manufacture these—and if I actually get a salaried position, I'd love to lease one of these. There's just something sexy about it I can't explain.
