Recommended Posts

Since I don't have the Anime Network [I]channel[/I] where I live, what I wish for is mostly anime. It would be nice to have an Internet connection so I don't have to bum of the Internet connection from my local library. Here is my list of anime I want to get my hands on:

This is just a short list of anime I wish for.
[LIST=1]
[*]Azumanga Daioh (yeah you read that right :animesmil )
[*]Excel Saga
[*]Fooly Cooly (An expensive series just for six episodes)
[*]End of Evangelion
[*]Outlaw Star
[/LIST]

Also, I would wish for some Family Guy and The Simpson DVD box sets.

Later and Happy Holidays

Since the thread you originally posted in WiiGamer86 was back from 2002 and therefore six years old, I've moved your post into a new thread. I imagine people's lists from that long ago are either fulfilled or no longer something they want. So when thread is that old, it's best to just start a new one.

[SIZE="1"]This year will be my first venture [hopefully] into a game company I've not touched before -- Microsoft, with their Xbox 360. They've just been releasing too many good games lately...

So, here's my list for Christmas 08:

Xbox 360
Tales of Vesperia [even if I don't get the other games, I'd be happy with just a 360 and this]
Eternal Sonata
Lost Odyssey
Soul Calibur IV
Mirror's Edge
Tales of Symphonia 2
WALL-E on DVD

...Dang, I had some others, but I've forgotten.

I might trim this down a bit too, since all of the games sans ToS2 are 360 games, and those aren't too cheap...[/SIZE]

Thanks to Funimation acquiring certain titles, there's now some more anime I'd like to get, whether I ask for them as gifts, or just ask for the money/gift cards to buy them with (most likely).

Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage 1-3
Hellsing Ultimate vol. 4
Welcome to the NHK

There's a also a bunch of classic Doctor Who titles out on DVD that I've fallen way behind on, might ask for a couple of them, maybe.

[FONT=Arial]I have a solid three-page list of music I would like over the course of the next few years, and it's always subject to change. Depends on what I learn about through Pandora, the National Science Foundation, and Viewers Like You.

Found Acroma through them, at any rate.

Since I don't see a reason to try and accrue any other entertainment stuff if I'm not going to use it for ages, I won't be asking for much else. Ultimately, it's just nice stuff to have, and I can't really ever feel the same way about movies/shows/video games as I do about music. The other things are merely time-killers, I guess.

Come to think of it, I should throw together a list of books I want to own. Hmm.[/FONT]

[SIZE="1"]Hahaha. I read all the things I wanted for Christmas that year...good lord. o_o;

Anyway, seeing as I'm older now, Christmas presents arn't so exciting anymore. I can buy most of the stuff I want, myself, so the whole surprise factor is dead. There are a couple things I'll ask for; just because I know my family is going to buy me a few things anyway.

[B]Christmas list 2008[/B]
- Players Guide to Zelda: Twilight Princess(GCN), I'm completely lost, of course since I haven't played it in nearly a year..yeah.
- Players Guilde to Zelda: Phantom Hourglass(DS), I got pretty far when I rented the game, when I actually bought it I had to start over. I comepletly forgot what I was suppose to be doing.
- Maybe some diffrent rechargeable batteries for my digital camera
- Some gift cards for the movies or something are always useful.

I honestly can't think of anything else att he moment.[/SIZE]

No matter how much I ask for the stuff I really want, I get something completely different, so I pretty much stopped asking a long time ago. Christmas presents certainly has lost a lot of it's surprise factor, but I do still enjoy it from time to time.

I'll play along anyway.

-Xbox 360
-Playstation 3

(more reasonable/affordable gifts lol)
-Money/Gift certificates
-Clothes
-dvds (movies, anime, cartoons)

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"]I've come up with a few candidates so far.

The tentative list:
Xbox 360?? Probably not.
New phone? Doubtful.
A chair? I could probably get this any old day, no reason to waste a christmas gift on it.
Mommy and Daddy to get back together? That's so sad! And totally made up.

Gee, i guess i haven't really got a good christmas list going. I've actually just realized that i'll have money this year to buy other people gifts. This is pretty exciting for me, i never have money. Now i just have to figure out what to get everybody. If anybody's got some ideas i'd love to hear them! I've got a sister in college, two brothers in highschool, and two parents. I suppose i could get my kitty a present too.

[FONT=Arial]It's not so much whether or not I like them, or enjoy watching them. Heck, I know of about eight TV series besides those that I plan on eventually owning.

But I'd rather have books and music now. I can buy TV series, movies, anime, and games myself. That's what I did with all the games/systems I own now, so....

My uncle once offered to buy me a bass guitar when I told him I'd like to learn someday, but I told him if [I]he[/I] bought it, and not [I]me[/I], I'd probably never use it just because the sense of ownership wouldn't be there.[/FONT]

It is funny how that feeling of suspense disappears each year. Well, mainly, if you make a list, you generally know what you'll be getting.

... still, I do have a list this year. >>
Let us begin:

Most Wanted Items Wanted Ever in All of Wantdom
1) Tales of the Abyss for PS2
2) Mushi-Shi DVD box-set
3) Love and Peace DVD (it?s a samurai film, by the way)
4) After Life DVD (another Japanese film)
5) Gurren Lagann DVD 1 (dub version)

Other Items That Are Also Nice But Not As Wanted as the Most Wanted Items
1) Paranoia Agent soundtrack
2) Jungle Book book


By the way, if people want to suggest a couple items (like maybe some anime), feel free. This list ain't the final draft anyway.

I actually just want money... I know, "How lame," huh?

But I understand my family is running a bit low on cash this year and I don't want to ask for something out of their price range and make them feel bad that they can't get it for me.

Plus, What I actually asked for was clothes, but my parents don't even begin to try to understand what my clothing style is so they've opted just to give me money.

And then the Christmas party. My family decided that since this year is so tight, we're just going to go with a 50 dollar spending limit on Dirty Santa and not buy presents for any specific person. Which is good for me, seeing that I'm a broke college student.

So, I actually already know what I'm getting for Christmas:
-a random gift of the game's choosing (under $50)
-$150 to spend as I wish. (American Apparel, here I come!!!)

Well, this might sound a little pathetic but I want snow (last year we had our first white Christmas and it was a lot of fun) and I also want our family to be back together. We're only separated by distance though, not arguments or anything like that. So I just hope that everyone can find the time and money to travel to be here in time.

Besides that, the usual games and anime that everyone is listing. :animeswea

As far as an impossible wish goes though, I want the Mirror's Edge sequel since I think they will probably improve a lot on a good idea for a game.

[quote name='Boo'][size=1]I asked for a guitar capo and/or the Wall-E DVD. Maybe a few guitar picks as decorations, but I did not have much else for an idea.

For Sinterklaas by the way. Not for Christmas.[/size][/QUOTE]

[SIZE="1"]Don't forget about my gifts! Haha. They're suppose to be late birthday presents, but we can call them Christmas presents aswell, since its so close. :p

I have thought up a few other things.

- Borders gift card, I'd like to try and read more.
- Ghost Busters dvd set, its a classic.
- The third Bourne movie
- G.I. Jane, I love this movie. XD[/SIZE]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]Things I want for Christmas, but probably won't get...

[LIST]
[*]Street Fighter 4 (which doesn't come out until February)
[*]More Beanie Caps ( I have tons, but a few more wouldn't hurt)
[*]Mirror's Edge for PS3
[*]A new DDR pad (mine has a few lame sensors)
[*]The Shield Box Sets for Seasons 1-5
[*]A kitty ( an orange one preferrably)

We are planning to go outta town, so I should probably get some gifts from relatives. Clothes, mostly, but I always need new clothes. My grandparents are actually quite cool when it comes to picking clothes for me, I don't get some lame sweater knitted outta the same stuff they make those doilies out of. [/FONT]

HOW DID I FORGET THE DR. HORRIBLE DVD? [strike]I AM A BAD NPH FANGIRL[/strike]

Well, provided it's out by then. They say it's supposed to be out by Christmas time...and if it isn't, heads will roll.

...and I think that's it for my list. [fer serious this time][/SIZE]

[I]*realizes that he didn't really answer this*[/I]

I don't do lists anymore, though I do think of things that I'd like to have if I can afford it. Music and books is always good. I have a lot of music out there that I'd like to add to my current collection.

Though if I can swing it, what I really want to pick up is an xbox 360 so I can play Tales of Vesperia and then the next Star Ocean game when it comes out next March. But that's a hefty price tag so we'll see.

  • 2 weeks later...
[color=#9933ff]Well I want a cat too. But ever since I had to get rid of my other one for peeing on everything my parents (yes it's a bad economy and I live with my parents at the ripe old age of 27) don't want any more fur bearing creatures for the time being.

So that said I want the following:

Some more sweaters and long sleeve t-shirts- I live in New York and it gets cold

THe LOL cats book- I saw it in Barnes and NOble last week and it was cute and funny

Some funny socks

A brown leather purse- I just bought a bronze metallic one tonight and I have 3 brown fabric ones in varying shades of brown, but I still would like a brown leather one

Ouran High School Host Club- All my friends are watching it

World Peace (oops this goes in my application for Sainthood)

Music, jewlry and nailpolish- you never go wrong with those things

Sneakers- I [I]need[/I] them despite the 40 pairs of shoes in my closet

I have more, but I'm tired. Can I have a raise for Christmas?[/color]

Your banner says "Yes, I'm Irish. Kiss Me and I'll Break Your Face", don't spend too much time on that application...:p

Aaanyway, I found something else for my list...the new Nickelback CD! And/or the Twilight soundtrack (Didn't enjoy the movie very much, but liked the music.*waits to get flamed by "fanpires"*).

What do I want for Christmas? The only thing I'm asking for is to spend time with one person who I care about deeply, even though she may not feel the same way. I don't want gifts, I can buy what I want with my job. Christmas for me is not longer Christmas since my mom won't be living this year. Hell, we haven't even set up the tree. All it is to me now is an excuse to buy stuff for people (something I enjoy doing).
