My husband got me Final Fantasy Advent Children on Blu-Ray. I already have it on DVD, but the Blu-Ray edition has 26 extra minutes of footage (plus a sneak peek at Final Fantasy 13!). At first I thought "wow. 26 minutes."
Wow, those extra 26 minutes gave the movie so much more, and it actually makes sense now! So if you were disappointed in Advent Children, I recommend watching the "extended" version. It gives more background about what is motivating characters, and some other little gems. :)

- Polymer Pancake Necklace from whimsywingandthings - made complete with realistic details such as melting butter and glistening syrup. It is attached via a silver toned jump ring to an adjustable length black corded necklace. 17"-18.5" adjustable length.
- Origami Shuriken Earring from kankuropainter - Each earring is about 1.5" wide and is coated in a resin which makes them water resistant but not water proof. They should be taken off before taking a bath and/or shower, But should be ok if it rains depending on how hard the rain is. Each one is hand made and is made with washi paper, resin, and jewelry hardware. It is a fish hook earring. So no losing the backer. The washi paper I used has different designs and is mainly blue.
- Puffy Star Earrings from 3dDoodles - capture the stars and wear them at your ears with this pair of puffy star charms dangling from silver-plated french hook findings.

- Purple and White Flowers Braclet from TheBeadedHeart - This is for a lampwork beaded bracelet. I used beadalon beading wire with beautiful purple with white lampwork glass beads. Purple and white czech glass beads, silver plated spacer beads, and a toggle clasp. This measures 6 1/4" including the clasp.
- There might be a sixth entry... trying to figure out who the sixth entry came from and picture.

We are Growing!
I think we are at a total of 11 members now, yay! Hopefully we continue to grow ^___^
It looks like the only way we can officially have etsy in our name in the team listing is to have a team tag that everyone uses in their listings. If we were going to do this... you will only need to list it in your next new items. Just let me know if you guys want to do that, so we can officially be EGAT.
Also to note... right now I am having a sale that ends on mother's day... 25% off of all items in my shop. For members of EGAT, after the 25% off, members get an additional 10% off their item(s) ^_^. Happy Shopping!

New to EGAT
Hello everyone!
I just joined EGAT. I'm not much of a gamer, but I'm a definite anime nerd. :) I missed the con last year, but I almost always attend OhayoCon. I love Paprika, Cat's Soup, that kind of weird make you think stuff.
On Etsy, I sell unique hand knitted items, not usually relating to anime but maybe this will inspire me.
I also have a love for Japanese culture, especially the food. I looove sushi. Oh, I guess one Japanese culture related thing is Noro yarn, which is made in Japan and really really pretty.
Look forward to this group!

New here from Chicago
Hey all, My name is Amanda. I love all things Japanese. :) I went to Japan 5 years ago for 3 weeks, and it's one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I've been a video game addict since I was a kid, and I don't think it's something I'll ever completely grow out of. I enjoy Cosplay - I went as Sailor Moon last year to Acen, and if I can manage to get a costume together I'll do something again this year.
I sell buttons, magnets, mirrors and bottle openers in my shop on etsy. Some of them are made from mangas, and I have many more that I simply haven't listed. If there's a specific one that you're looking for just let me know.
I do 10% off for team members, just remind me in the notes to seller.

Group Giveaway Editing and Such
I am thinking of having a GROUP Giveaway in May 16th or sometime in June... might push it to June b/c of Mother's Day next month. I would think we would give like samples of our stuff... something smaller than a one person giveaway? Maybe put a cap price maybe... any ideas?
Either comment here if you want to join or e-mail me.
Oh! If you see something in your entry updated or changed... that would be me or whimsy. Either a link isn't working or something is typoed, we will fix it ^_^. We won't delete contents unless unappropriate (racist comments, NC-17, R, X type contents, and etc).

Anyone going to Anime Central in May
Is anyone going to Anime Central which is being held in Rosemont on Mother's Day weekend? Both of my kids are going and I'd love a few details. Is it worth the $$$ to go?

Welcome!
PastryStitches here!
This is EGAT, Etsy Gamers Anime Team! This team is for fans of games, anime, and the Japanese culture... you don't have to make things related to those to join, just have to love at least one of them. Also don't have to go to conventions... just a place for people that like these things.
More of a team to help each other to learn of new stuff in those three topics and give ideas to members that make things based off of those topics. To meet new friends that have the same interest... maybe even find items from other members that you want to buy.
This team is more for fun.
People can find local artists in the group to go to conventions together... maybe get artists tables to share and the like.
There is no fee to enter this team. If I get a lot of people that want to join this team... I will work on making a ning site or something for use to talk through.
Again to join... you just have to be an anime lover, gamer (doesn't have to be japanese games), and Japanese culture fan.
If you would like to e-mail etsygat@yahoo.com with the subject line saying Joining EGAT and explain why you would like to join as well as your etsy username and the e-mail you use for etsy. This is so I/we can contact you for Team Updates.
