Loot Anime is a monthly subscription box from Loot Crate, just for Anime and Manga fans! Every month you’ll get $60 worth of figures, collectibles, manga, apparel, accessories and more. Loot Anime is produced in partnership with Crunchyroll – the pairing of these two means better access and discounts for all otaku alike. When you link your paid Crunchyroll account with your Loot Anime account you will save $5 every month!
Loot Anime’s theme of the month is BLADE.
This box required extreme unboxing, but the end effect was really awesome! (It’s designed to display one of the objects found in the box!)

This poster was illustrated by LucidSky. It welcomes us to this month’s theme which is all about swords and samurais!
The back of the poster serves as the information sheet that shows a list of all the Anime goodies in this box.
Everything in the November 2016 Blade Crate!
Yume BLADE Charm – This month’s exclusive charm is made by artist Christina K. Yang. Yume looks like she’s ready for battle anytime, complete with a samurai outfit!
Berserk Sword Letter Opener – An officially licensed item from Crunchyroll, from the action-packed anime Berserk. This letter opener is going to be used a lot this holiday season!
In the anime, this sword is used to defeat demonic spirits. But this time, we’re going to use it to open holiday cards!
Bleach Lounge Pants – These pants are so comfy. Plus points because Ichigo Kurosaki is on it! He is from the anime Bleach and he also fights evil spirits.
Gintama Wall Scroll – It’s awesome to receive a wall scroll instead of a regular poster once in a while. Gintama is a sci-fi anime that combines the Japanese Edo period and an alien invasion in one story.
Sword Art Online Progressive Manga ($41.30) – An anime box wouldn’t be complete without a manga! This month, we got a manga about virtual reality and MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Games). It was a bit hard to take a shot of, the cover is extremely reflective!
At the back of the manga is a short and interesting summary of the story.
Yuuki Asuna was a top student who spent her days at cram school and preparing for her high school entrance exams–but that was before she borrowed her brother’s virtual reality game system and wound up trapped in Sword Art Online with ten thousand other frightened players. As time passes, Asuna fears what will become of her life outside the fantasy realm–the failure she might seem in the eyes of her peers and parents. Unwilling to wait on the sidelines for more experienced gamers to beat the game, Asuna employs her study habits to learn the mechanics of game–and swordplay. Her swiftness impresses Kirito, a pro gamer who invites Asuna to join the best players on the front lines. Is Asuna ready to swap class rankings for player rankings and join Kirito?
This manga might not be appropriate for younger kids or tweens, though. Better leave this one to adults and let the kids play with the other items in the box. Except the sword of course!
We definitely loved the premium lounge pants this month, and the letter opener fit the theme perfectly. Seriously, the sword from Berserk is really awesome. The other items were great too, but we sort of missed one additional item in the box.
What did you think of Loot Anime this month?

The Box was horrible for germans this month, instead of the Berserk Sword we got a random batman keychain cause of “custom issues in germany and australia”
