Instead of a Christmas tree, Russians erect a New Year one. Presents are under it all the same. Just in time for the gift season, an R5 company Reanimedia.ru published a box set of Haibane Renmei. Looks like a quality release, I'm thinking to get it, if I can …

My wife presented me with IM@S DS for Christmas.
