Yessss good taste present. I have The Beautiful World artbook myself, and I once found the large figure of Kino with a smoking gun at a convention. But I wasn't able to afford it, which was a shame.I can totally vouch for Kino and Kaiba. The former is my all-around favorite series and I enjoy collecting whatever merch I can find of it, namely the Japanese light novels and art books. Kaiba is a unique show that doesn't get the attention that it deserves, and it has a beautiful soundtrack that I can never get enough of. Its weakness is that the main plot doesn't kick in until halfway through, and it feels pretty crammed in there, as if the writers completely forgot about it until near the end. But it's one of those shows I wouldn't watch for the plot alone.
Also about Kaiba, my favourite part of that show was the first half before the plot kicks into gear. Just exploring the unique and interesting setting was a delight for me. I enjoyed the second half as well, but it's the first half I consider to be really special.
And I guess if I ever update my 3x3 favourite shows chart on page 1 now I would probably remove Nichijou and Princess Jellyfish to make room for The 08th MS Team and Mushishi.
