The folks at Pied Piper have brought out a couple of editions of the Time of Eve movie before and now they’ve graciously supplied us with a copy of the international release that includes the soundtrack as well as the novel and the official fan book of the series. This is a $105 value of material that takes you completely into the world of this work in order to be able to enjoy every aspect of it. So we’re looking to find this pack a home.
How to win? Simply post on any of the reviews or news items out there on the site between now and end of day on October 3rd, 2015. We’d like to see a bit more conversation on the articles themselves and if you can win something by doing so, why not, right? The more you post, the more chances you get to be randomly drawn at the start of each day for the day prior. We’ll reply to you asking for your details and ship it right off, with tracking, so you know when new anime goodness will be in hand.
The only restrictions? You must be in the US (overseas shipping requires more paperwork, and I’m tight on time as is), and posts of gibberish won’t be counted. We’re looking for some contributions here, not spam folks. And no, posts on this article don’t count. 😀 With so many different methods through which to post, take a chance and you might win:

Rikuo and his friend Masaki trace Sammy’s movements, only to discover a mysterious cafe that features a house rule that “humans and robots are to be treated the same”…
