Can’t believe it’s already February now it’s time for me to gear up for the Anime Deals: February 2026 Edition post.

How’s 2026 for you so far?

Are you still working on your 2026 goals, if you have any?

As for me, I’m happy to report that one of the goals that I’m working on is doing great so far.

But I will have to put a few tasks on hold for a while due to unforeseen circumstances.

Of course, you can bet that I’ll be back to work on it again once the roadblock is no more.

The only thing I’m concerned about right now is that I can’t seem to find time to read all the books I’ve always wanted to.

If you’ve read my post about this year’s reading challenge, you are probably already aware that I didn’t manage to meet the challenge.

So, I was hoping that this year’s reading challenge wouldn’t share the same fate as last year’s one.

No matter how busy I am with working on my goals and completing the reading challenge, my commitment to scouring the best deals for you remains the same.

And if that’s what you’re here for, then don’t miss this month’s Anime Deals: February 2026 Edition post.

Anime Deals: February 2026 Edition update

2/10/2026 – Update the post with a new offer from JapanesePod101.com.

Playasia

I admit that I’ve never played Chrono Trigger and would love to give the game a try someday.

But I’m sure that many of you do love the game.

And if you do love the music from the game, then you certainly don’t want to miss your chance to get your hands on this limited-edition LP box set.

What makes this limited edition LP box set special, you ask, save for the fact that they’re on vinyl?

For one, each record cover will have an illustration by Akira Toriyama during the game’s release.

And then there’s also a commemorative message by the Chrono Trigger, Yasunori Mitsuda.

Think the vinyl track will stay in vinyl, and you can’t listen to the game soundtrack anywhere else?

If that’s your concern, then fret not, since the vinyl also comes with a download code that allows you to download the music in MP3 format.

Now you can listen to the Chrono Trigger’s music anytime, anywhere, not just on vinyl.

As you can see here, the Chrono Trigger Original Soundtrack Vinyl LP Box is currently available for pre-order at Playasia.

Interested in getting the Chrono Trigger vinyl? You can pre-order the game soundtrack right here:

CDJapan

Since we’re talking about the soundtrack here, it’s worth noting that you can now pre-order the Frieren: Beyond the Journey’s End Season 2 Original Soundtrack at CDJapan.

If you love the anime and its music, you surely don’t want to miss your chance to get your hands on this soundtrack.

The original soundtrack comes with a jacket sticker, a booklet, a newly illustrated slipcase, and a digipak package.

Love the music from the anime, and you’re also a fan of Evan Call?

Well, you can pre-order the original soundtrack right here if you’re interested:

Lindsay Does Languages

What if I tell you the key to language fluency isn’t so much to do with getting a better language resource, but rather with your learning approach?

Believe me, I used to think the reason why my Japanese was going nowhere has a lot to do with me not having proper Japanese learning resources.

While that can be true, the reality is I will still struggle to learn Japanese properly even if I have the best Japanese learning resources in the world.

Ever wonder why?

The reason for that is simple – we have a flawed approach to learning a language.

If you want to be fluent in the language, you must also learn the proper ways of learning the language, not just learning the language itself.

Now, I can hear that many of you will say that you don’t have a Master’s Degree in Applied Language, and so do I.

This is where the Lindsay Does Languages’ Successful Self-Study course comes into play.

In this course, you’ll learn everything you need to know about learning a language the right way, from finding the right language resource for you to the right way to learn the language through writing, speaking, and listening.

Think this is the missing piece in your language learning? You can learn more about the course right here:

My online store

Remember when I said that one of my goals is going great, progress-wise?

Well, this is what I’m referring to.

As you can see here, it’s always my goal to have my online store component right here on my own website instead of having to redirect people elsewhere.

And guess what?

It’s finally here, with most of the finishing touches almost close to completion.

Just to let you know that my online store was already live at the end of December last year.

But I have to put the news on hold to make way for people who joined my reader-only email list.

What’s with this reader-only email list, you ask? You can take a look at this page right here for details.

Because of that, I can only begin to talk about my online store publicly this month.

As of writing, you can only purchase the ebook version of the Trigger Locked series for now.

And the standalone books will only be added later to the store once the new edition of the book comes out.

When the new edition of my standalone books will come out is something that I’m not sure of.

But I’m hoping that I can get the new edition of my first book, The Diary of Modern Cinderella, to come out this year.

In the meantime, you can take a look at my brand new online store right here if you’re in the mood to read an original English light novel in the thriller and suspense genre:

While knowing and understanding the language learning approach is important, what you use to learn the language also matters.

Sure, you don’t have to restrict yourself to learning Japanese with a textbook if you can’t stand it.

This is where JapanesePod101.com comes in.
