Yikes! I can’t believe it’s time for another Anime Deals: November 2025 Edition post.

With November already here, I’m happy to report that my goals for this year are progressing well.

But not so much on my Goodreads Reading Challenge, though.

I still have a long way to go.

And it doesn’t help that we’re less than two months away from 2025 being officially over.

Will I be able to meet this year’s reading challenge?

Judging from the number of books I have to read, it’s still doable as long as I read books every day consistently.

But then again, we all know life happens.

So, don’t be surprised if I don’t get to meet this year’s reading challenge.

Even with that, it’s still too early to call it quits, don’t you think?

That applies to amazing deals as well.

If you’re on the hunt for amazing deals, then you certainly don’t want to miss this month’s Anime Deals: November 2025 Edition post.

You’ll never know, you’ll come across deals you’ve been looking for all along.

Playasia

Raise your hand if you like to receive cashback with every purchase you make.

Believe me, I sure love it when the place I shop a lot is offering cashback.

If you’re on the hunt for another place that offers cashback, you can now add Playasia to your list.

While it’s great to receive cashback every time you make a purchase, the issue with cashback is that the amount of cashback you receive tends to be pitiful.

You probably have to buy a lot of things just to make receiving cashback worthwhile.

If that’s you, then I understand your sentiment.

But here’s the thing about the cashback program at Playasia – the cashback amount is rather high.

Take this Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition Vinyl, for example.

The price for this item is $24.99.

But the cashback you’ll get when you purchase this item is $5.40.

That’s a lot of cashback for an item that costs this much, don’t you think?

Of course, the amount of cashback you’ll get will vary, depending on your rank.

And since it’s only in beta for now, there’s a big chance you may never get this many amount of cashback once it’s out of the beta mode.

If the idea of getting cashback excites you, you can take a look at this page here for items that are qualified for cashback:

Just to let you know, not all items are eligible for cashback. But you can use the cashback you receive to purchase any items at Playasia, though.

CDJapan

Are you a huge fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, Frieren, My Hero Academia, Kaiju No.8, The Apothecary Diaries, SPY x FAMILY, Trigun, Dr. Stone, and The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten?

If that’s you, then I have good news for you.

As you can see here, TOHO animation is currently releasing special items at their TOHO animation STORE to commemorate their 10th anniversary.

While the official store doesn’t ship overseas, you can buy any of the items from the collection through CDJapan Proxy Shopping.

It’s perfect for Christmas presents too, if you’re thinking about giving any of these items as a gift.

Not sure if proxy items are eligible for gift wrapping, but CDJapan does offer gift wrapping service, in case you’re wondering.

Just to let you know, they only accept orders for the items until December 19th, 2025.

You can take a look at these items right here if you’re interested:

Lindsay Does Languages

You probably bought tons of language courses and books over the years.

But for some reason, you can’t seem to reach the fluency you always dream of.

If anything, you feel frustrated thinking the next language course or guidebook will lead you to the fluency you desire.

With nothing seems to work, you begin to wonder if you don’t have the knack for learning another language.

What if I tell you the reason you’re not fluent in the language has nothing to do with the language course or books failing to deliver their promises?

But rather, it has something to do with how we learn the language?

If you’re learning a language on your own like me, then you probably don’t know the best approach to learn the language effectively.

This is where Lindsay Does Languages’ Successful Self-Study comes in.

With this course, you’ll learn everything you need to know about learning a language, from mastering grammar and vocabulary to doing better in reading, listening, and speaking.

Just to let you know that it’s a self-paced course, meaning you can do it on your own schedule.

Think this is what you need? You can sign up for the course right here:

I admit I sound like I’m contradicting myself when I say you don’t need another language course, but what you need instead is to know how to learn the language properly.

Even with that, it’s still important to have a language course that covers all ground.
