Could you guys give some recommendations, this could be a nice cheap way to stock up.
I like Samurai Champloo not on the list, Akira I have of course, Cowboy Bebop and others mostly action titles but story driven ones like Spirited Away but not corny like Dragon Ball Z or the like.

How is the Star Ocean anime?
Like every anime based on an RPG, it's a solid 3 out of 5.
Oh yeah, and it ends in the middle of the game (maybe they didn't notice to message that told them to switch to the second disc?)
Nice OP/ED though, you can probably listen to them on youtube.
Here's what I got:
1 Ah! My Goddess the Motion Picture +
1 Appleseed +
4 Haibane Renmeis +
4 Lains Experimenting +
4 NieA_7s +
4 Paranoia Agents +
4 Rumiko Takahashis +
3 Lunar Legends =

Red bar on the top that says signature series. Also just to let people know the coupon is reusuable and thus you can order as many times as you want. So bank accounts watch out basically. It was painful cutting down to 25 here.

09-11-2006, 06:48 PM
I've been told they're the same, except for a red "greatest hits" stripe. Oh, and rightstuf seems to be out of vol 3 of the non-SS, so if you want them to match...

I was about to ask the same thing, so thanks. :) It sucks that not only can I not get all of Trigun matching, but they don't have the 3rd dvd at all. That Haibane Renmei is really calling my name, since I've seen the first 3-4 episodes and really found it to be interesting. Then it's not hard to fill in more after I got started. :-P Not sure if my bank account will tolerate this tho...

Becuase they don't block orders on out of stock. That's the catch, since if it's out of stock, they'll make you shoose something else, since you can't cancel.

From my understanding from the very long AOD thread, that as long as they can still get it from the supplier, there's a good chance it'll ship.

This has to be one of the strangest sales.
I started out with nine items, since I wasn't going to spend $100. I chose Haibane Renmei x 4, Gankutsuou, and Human Condition x 4.
But I couldn't find that 10th title. I didn't really want to buy one of a set (that's what Netflix is for) or a soundtrack.
So, I went looking for that 10th title, read some reviews of titles I wasn't familiar with, and I found that Human Condition had some not so good reviews. Well, strike that.
So down to 5. Requiem from the Darkness? Maybe. On second thought, no. Besides, then I'd just be back to 9. Hey, how about Last Exile and Haibane Renmei?
Crap, that's 11. But I want them all. But I can't get 11. And I'm not going to 25. AAUUGH!!
So, out with Haibane #1 since I already Netflixed it and can probably get it cheaply at some other store (could have been you, Rightstuf. Oh well).
So,
3 x Haibane Renmei
7 x Last Exile
1 x Credit Card bill I really don't want to see this month

argyle
09-11-2006, 10:17 PM
Well, I kept my order up & kept thinking about it, but I finally caved & pulled the trigger. Here's what I got:
Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play: Fushigi Yugi Eikoden DVD (Hyb)
Haibane Renmei DVD 1 (Hyb): New Feather
Haibane Renmei DVD 2 (Hyb): Wings of Sorrow
Haibane Renmei DVD 3 (Hyb): Bird of Freedom
Haibane Renmei DVD 4 (Hyb): Day of Flight
Lain, Serial Experiments DVD 4 (Hyb): Reset
Paranoia Agent DVD 1 (Hyb): Enter Lil' Slugger
Paranoia Agent DVD 2 (Hyb): True Believers
Paranoia Agent DVD 3 (Hyb): Serial Psychosis
Paranoia Agent DVD 4 (Hyb): Sayonara Maromi
Sugar, A Little Snow Fairy DVD 1 (Hyb): Sweet Mischief
Sugar, A Little Snow Fairy DVD 2 (Hyb): Friends & Dreams
Sugar, A Little Snow Fairy DVD 3 (Hyb): The Bear Pianist
Sugar, A Little Snow Fairy DVD 4 (Hyb): Magical Sparkling Days
Sugar, A Little Snow Fairy DVD 5 (Hyb): Home Sweet Home
Sugar, A Little Snow Fairy DVD 6 (Hyb): Sugar Baby Love
Sugar, A Little Snow Fairy Summer Special DVD (Hyb)
Texhnolyze DVD 1 (Hyb): Inhumane & Beautiful
Trigun DVD 1 (Hyb): The $60 Billion Man - Geneon Signature Series
Trigun DVD 2 (Hyb): Lost Past - Geneon Signature Series
Trigun DVD 4 (Hyb)
Trigun DVD 5 (Hyb): Angel Arms - Geneon Signature Series
Trigun DVD 6 (Hyb): Project Seeds - Geneon Signature Series
Trigun DVD 7 (Hyb): Puppet Master - Geneon Signature Series
Trigun DVD 8 (Hyb): High Noon
The Haibane Renmei & Trigun I've seen a few episodes of before & really liked them. The Paranoia Agent I've heard a lot about. Sugar looks like something my wife & I would enjoy watching together. And lastly, the Lain is for a friend (he's missing the last one), and the Texholyze is just to try (it looks a lot like Lain, and that really wasn't one of my favorites...).
Now, I just hope they all ship. :)
EDIT: Oh, and the Fushigi Yugi OAVs finish off my wife's set (since I know everyone was wondering :-P)

Stellvia's first half was pretty nice, and could actually ended there. The second half dragged on a bit, bit still ok. If anything, just get the first 4 disc, since thet're missing 7 and 8 anyways.
Vandread second stage was better than the first, IMO. But that's from 6 year old memories.

Same. I was bummed when I saw Champloo wasn't included.
Finally managed to get my first order in.
Chobits 1-7
Gungrave 2-7
Haibane Renmei 1-4
Lain 2-4
Paranoia Agent 1-4
Tokyo Underground 1
Trying to put in my 2nd order tonight (just 10 then I'll be all set). Bummed that Tokyo Underground 4 is sold out already - was hoping to get everything complete. Ah well...
Duo_Maxwell
09-12-2006, 02:10 AM
I couldn't even find 10 I really wanted that I didn't already own. Things like Chobits never appealed much to me, Lain was too slow and confusing, and I own pretty much everything else that looked interesting. I saw some things like the Captain Herlock series and maybe a couple others, but couldn't get to 10.
Edit: I may put in an order later, $5 anime is hard to pass up, but I'm kinda pissed even shows like Fafner and Starship Operators are strangely absent. If they are going to put Geneon titles on sale, put all Geneon titles on sale...

All of these titles are ones pretty much going out of print (most have boxsets out). Especially the items still under the pioneer name. There has been a bunch of posts from Shawne Kleckner saying huge shipments are incoming on some dvds but alot of them are limited stock and when they are gone they are gone for good.
Get what you can while you can. There is some rumor of additional titles being added but adding in a high selling item like samurai champloo would seem silly. Funny to see them jumping ship on the UMD titles though.

Was Trigun 3 ever in stock? Id maybe make an order if I could get the set.
Was Trigun 3 ever in stock? Id maybe make an order if I could get the set.
I got in pretty early and noticed it wasn't there. Probably what caused their bundle of them to sell out a few days ago. What's there is likely the left overs. The pioneer releases are long out of print so you may want to pick up those at the killer price and amazon or ebay the missing volume 3. I really do miss the pioneer name. I'll always be a paionia!
Come to think of it my first dvd player was a pioneer and one of my first dvds was tenchi muyo (from pioneer) with the opening title "I'm a pioneer." Humm a bit unhealthy I suppose... People love it when you're a pioneer

Thinking of picking up a few things, I have 0 anime and don't know much about it.
I don't really like the uber-violent stuff or the sexual stuff. Any suggestions? (I know, probably choose a different genre)
Right now I am looking at:
Last Exile
Trigun
Viewtiful Joe
Akira
Ah! My Goddess

I"m having a horrible time. They keep clearning my shopping cart and I have to add things all over, and it takes forever. Not very happy...
I've had similar problems in the past. Simple solution. Move all your items to your "wishlist" and then when you're ready to order, move them back to the shopping cart. If you're idle for too long, rightstuf's inventory system automatically clears out all items in your cart (because you're taking stock from potential buyers).

Things that might fit your criteria:
Niea under 7
Stellvia (only 6/8 volumes in the sale)
Adventures of the Mini Goddesses
Sugar, A Little Snow Fairy
Bottle Fairy (only 1/2 volumes included)
I'd definitely recommend the first two -- the rest you'd probably either like or hate depending on how well you like "cute" things. (Sugar in particular would be a great one if you have small children that you want to watch things with)

I was upset that they had the 2 His & Hers Circumstance soundtracks but not the actual dvds. I'm missing 2 of those I think (I have 1-3), and have been looking for a while for them to go on sale somewhere so I could complete the set. :-(
His and Her Circumstances isn't a Geneon release, its Rightstuf. Geneon just has the license for the soundtracks.

rightstuf tends to keep it's promises when you order from them. I remember 2 years back when they had the original Eva boxset for 40 bones. They got a huge amount of orders and I place my order on the last day. I thought that it would never ship and forgot about it. 3 months later, I got a surprise in the mail when all of a sudden, the Eva boxset arrived. So don't get pale, there's still a good chance it'll ship.

OMG THis is Crazy Sale. Out of Stock is crazy. IF it is out of stock try back in about 1 hour. If there are any ones that have been cancel or kill because of the connection it will show up back in about 30mins - 1 hour. Most of my stuff had 1 vol out but it can back in stock. Only Vandread Vol 2 (only need 1 and 2) did not come back and the other vol had about 40 left too (Rrrrrrr).
Thanks OP
If anyone needs help Try
Strawberry Eggs - Comedy - CrossDressing Treacher
Hanaukyo Maid Team La Verite - Ecchi (OMG So close to hentai) and Comedy - HOuse Full of Maids
Tokyo Underground - Comedy Action Adv , Its also one of the new ones on there. - Adv with Power (Some say a rip of Flame of Recca)

All of them I Suggested I like. Everyone has there own taste. Tokyo Underground I like for some odd reason, maybe because it was a rip of FoR. Strawberry Egg was funny just the fact the Guy looks more like a Woman than anyone else. I like the Comedy and action genre. I have be told that i have a werid sense of humor too.
I guess i have crappy taste.
Sorry forgot starman9000 try some El Hazard The Wanderers if they have them all in stock again. Its only 4 dvds for 26 eps.

My shelves hit capacity after the Trigun bundle and the Cardcaptor Sakura bundle before that. I have no idea where i'm putting all these dvds. Or when I'll have time to watch them.
Today I bought:

Fushigi Yugi Eikoden

09-12-2006, 04:14 PM
last exile is very well done, quite underrated with high production values, solid music and animation. I found the story engaging and the characters well developed. The knock is its ending, but many animes have rather letdown endings but are still very watchable overall.
Hellsing is another very solid effort, even if the ending similarly is a letdown.

He watched the first one. I'm hoping he might find the second one interesting. Actually, I'm hoping I'll like the second one too. It's a blind buy for me.

I can't speak for the other two he suggested, but I really enjoyed Strawberry Eggs. It's silly, but funny enough and much like Chobits doesn't overstay its welcome. It's certainly worth $4/disk (what is it anyway, 3 disks tops?).
Ever since I placed my order, I find myself checking my email looking for a shipped/shipping notice...I know I'm probably being a bit over-anxious, but still... :)

Mostly wanted Gungrave, but decided to pick up Last Exile and Texhnolyze as well. Filled out the rest of the order with both FLCL soundtracks, both Gungrave soundtracks, and the first Trigun soundtrack.
I don't intend to order any more unless they include Samurai Champloo.

Yes. Also don't expect it to ship ASAP. An order from them made 5/26/06 recieved a confirmation on 6/1/06 and that e-mail states it will ship in 2 business days.
This is generally my experience (even though the example was a holiday weekend)

I hope I don't get buyer's remorse. I ended up making some blind buys based on recommendations here and dvdtalk. I ended up with complete series of Niea 7, Haibane Renmei, Tsukihime Lunar, Gungrave, Heat Guy. But for only $4 a dvd, I couldn't help myself...
I know...after spending $100 last night, I'm half tempted to order more. Like you said, $4 a dvd...its hard to beat.

That usually just means the don't have it in stock, but they are able to get more. I've ordered a few things from Rightstuf that were "on order." They took a bit longer to get to me, but I always got them.
If you're looking to just get Sugar, try this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000A7DWB2/sr=8-3/qid=1154262220/ref=pd_bbs_3/104-8249928-4049561?ie=UTF8 I just received it yesterday. It's the whole TV series in a cute box. Each DVD case looks like the complete single case, too. No thinpaking here. The special isn't included, but it's still a decent deal.
Yeah, the Amazon page for it isn't very descriptive, but I bit the bullet and gave it a shot. Luckily, it is actually the whole TV series. Bingo!
kittycatgirl2k
09-12-2006, 11:18 PM
Thanks, I will get it from there if Rightstuf doesnt come through for me on Sugar. I wanted it for my daughter, I think she would like it. I wanted to get Koi Kaze too though. Rented it from Netflix earlier this year (or was it last year?) and absolutely loved it.

All 35 for 150 ain't all that bad, considering that I was going to get Koi Kaze, Stellvia and Vandread at the DDD sake anyway. All that would have been around 100 anyway, even after the 20% off.

Ended up getting:

Koi Kaze 1-3
Requiem for the Darkness 1-4
Sakura Wars
Texhnolyze 1-6
Tsukihime Lunar 1-3

So after 3 orders, I got 60 DVDs coming my way, worked out to be ~$4.20 per disc. No more, I say! :razz:
Now if only they would run this sale with Bandai. I'd like to complete my Witch Hunter Robin and Crest/Banner of the Stars series that I got from Big Lots. Then I would be truly happy (aside from the hole in my wallet).
Question to those who have seen Aoshi + Enishi - Does Enishi stand alone somewhat, or should the original be watched first? Thanks in advance.

That's nothing- my BF once ordred an item from Rightstuf that later went to an indefinite delay... he forgot about it after awhile. 2 YEARS later, it finally releases and a box shows up at the door! (He won't tell me what it was... just that he 'ordered it before he met me', so he 'doesn't need it anymore.' ... I think I'd rather not know. ;) )
Anyway- I've found that 'on order from manufacturer' thends to mean something RS simply doesn't have on site. I suspect most, if not all, of these orders will get filled no problem.

Thinking of picking up a few things, I have 0 anime and don't know much about it.
I don't really like the uber-violent stuff or the sexual stuff. Any suggestions? (I know, probably choose a different genre)From your qualifications and looking at the list you compiled, you might find Akira to be a less than perfect choice. It's a classic for a few reasons, but if you're not into graphic violence, Trigun and Last Exile would probably be more enjoyable choices (Trigun has a good pace, fun, interesting characters; Last Exile has a beautiful style).
Someone recommened to you Chobits, but you may find the sexual themes gratuitous. I'd also stay away from X, another title recommended you.
Skipping around the titles available for the sale, I'll try and throw a few suggestions out for you, and anyone else new to anime who doesn't want to wind up finding themselves the owner of 10-25 DVDs with overly gratuitious themes.
For someone first trying out anime I'd try a few Lupin III discs. For starters I'd suggest vol 1 and 5. And then whereever you want to go from there. What's great about Lupin is that the localization (translation and then re-dubbing with American Voice Actors) is very good. (A fair number of Geneon aquisitions have mediocre or annoying voice actors so you may find you enjoy a series better by listening to the Japanese actors and reading the English subtitles.)
Gad Guard has a mix of good characters, the style is nice and it has giant-robots, an anime staple you'll want to experience at some point.
Similar to Gad Guard, GateKeepers is another ensemble youth cast. Here, set in Japan during the 50s. However there are invaders (read: aliens in disquise) wanting to take over. Nothing terrific and RightStuf only has discs 1-3 out of 8 I believe. But it's an okay show. Violence yes, but like Gad Guard, a mild violence.
Sherlock Hound is excellent and credits Miyazaki Hayao as it's chief director. (If you're brand spankin' new to anime, he's in a sort of league all his own. As Kurosawa Akira is to Japanese film (Ran, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo) Miyazaki is to anime. Rent My Neighbor Totoro or Spirited Away on DVD sometime to get an idea of his feature films. They're gorgeous and he has a way of drawing you into his world through his story-telling.)
Stellvia is a space pilot training series, which I've only seen part-way into. What I have seen was quite enjoyable.
Paranoia Agent is one of my favorite anime series. The series is about wanting to escape reality & responsibility and wanting to ignore evil. The violence is off-camera. And there are mature issues regarding a prostitute and a girl with a father horrible in um... horrible ways. It's bizarre and fascinating. For me, it's the sort of show you'd want everyone to see and 'get' what you 'got' out of it. Which is why I mention it. But owing to the content, it's probably not quite your show.

... At least you like Paranoia Agent.
Last Exile volume 2 (900+) and the Fushigi Yugi Eikoden is back in stock. Some other titles were probably restocked as well but those are the two that stood out for me. Boom boom boom

well I have last exile 1-3, was looking to complete the set, but parinoia agent #2 is gone! :(
I was hoping to pick up the 4 of those the remaining 4 to last exile and two others.
Does anyone have any suggestions for 6 or 21 more dvds?

I believe his recommendations were specifically to someone who said they didn't want anything that was too violent. The recommendations made perfect sense to me.

I'm hoping Paranoia Agent #2 comes back, as well as Chobits #5, then I'll have to order those 2 shows. I'm really inclined to order Heat Guy J as well, I saw some episodes when it used to air on MTV2 and it was pretty good.

Paranoia Agent #2 was never on the list. Just like several of the Triguns (#3 is for sale on the site, but was never on the list) and Dokawhatever #2 (while #1 and #3 are in the sale). Some of the shows are just weird like that.
(here's hoping Tokyo Underground #4 comes back)

While true that some series volumes were not listed, Paranonia Aggent 2 was originally on the list, they took it off thelist the night before. I was considering getting the whole series and added all 4 into my cart, then I changed my mind.
Titles that they are sure they're not going to restock are probably all purged from the list, while others will just show that out of stock and check back later.

Apologies if that's the case. It wasn't on the list when I first checked it after getting the e-mail the first day. This is part of the reason I didn't even try to get Paraonia Agent.
For example, I can still (through an item #) pull up Tokyo Underground #4 on RSI, but I can't pull up Paranoia Agent #2 at all through it. Maybe they added it after the initial posting as some getting added/removed fairly regularly...

Perhaps that's the case. I know it was available to order as of 3pm Central on the first day of the sale, and was still available that night around 1am, when my friend placed his order. It disappeared the next day, so he got his order in just in time.
Bah, I'm contemplating one more order for Rumiko Takahashi Anthology and a few more CDs...

Ugh, I can't shell out anything more now either, if I still want that new bike. Not that I even have shelf space for 40 more DVDs. Hopfully they'll have it listed again some other time. They usually do that, well, sometimes.

honestly, ive seen and loved Lain, Paranoia Agent, and Ikki-Tousen, those are guarunteed winners. i only liked the serious Tri-Gun eps with the Gun-Ho Guns, so i got a good set with those. and having a little Lupin The 3rd doesnt hurt.
now Hellsing always intrigued me but i never got into it, but the art and animation look too good to pass up.
Texhnolyze sounded like it had everything i wanted, i was gonna gonna only get the first vol 1, but i thought itd be more of a pain to find more volumes if i liked it. Burn Up Scramble looks to have everything GunDress didnt(only thought it was decent, but that was a long time ago, could use reviewing). but i doubt its better than Uncut Mezzo Forte....i guess we'll see.
and i got just got Jubei Chan because the box art looked great and the story sounded even better

Celes - you could try to do a fax or mail order. Its one of the options but I did not see a place to put in a coupon code. Other thing is that there maybe a chance you will need to pick a replacement. I would call them up and ask. CS is really nice when I call about a cart problem.

As TimTucker pointed out, the request was made with specific qualifications. Namely, little sexual and violent content. A person with such standards will not want to drop $50- $100 on X.
Just a minor point, but Gate Keepers is set in 1969.
HA! Minor huh? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/guinaevere/smilies/blush.gif It's been a while since I watched the series, so that's more than likely that I screwed the decade up. I coulda sworn it was the late 50's. But clearly, my mistake. Thanks for the correction, greysector!

OK, since most of my first order's status has changed from "On Order From Manufacturer" to "Reserved For Your Order" (all but 5 disks of the 25), I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on another batch. Quick opinion request - which is better, Stylvia or Last Exile? Or is there something else (I tend to prefer the lighter stuff usually).

Last Exile is an amazing series. Stellivia is medicore from what I heard but is from the director of Nadeisco which IS a great series. I would go with last exile. Engaging and beautiful looking.

Ok, I would like to pull the trigger on this sale, but I have never watched anime and was wondering what is a great anime show to start a noobie with, thanks in advance.
Well, there are a few recomendations to certain genres in the thread already. So you can follow that if you hasve the same taste as other members. What I generally show people though is Read or Die, which while not on this sale, is on sale for 10 bucks. Nice short OVA with lots off action and eye candy.

I wouldn't call Stellvia medicore. It has nice animation and the first half is pretty intersting. Though I oculd care less about the second half. If anything, just get the first 4 vol.
If I was to choose one though, i'd probably go with last exile also. I didn't buy it from this sale since I already own it. Oh the monies I paid for it. I need to rewatch it soon.

I went with Heat Guy J from recommendations in this thread. Koi Kaze & Sol Bianca looked interesting & had pretty good reviews. Texhnolyze, I got the first disk of in my original order and just felt like getting the whole series (especially since people say the series doesn't pick up until the second disk anyway). And Last Exile...well, you guys were here for that part of the story. :-P
I have no idea when I'll ever watch all of this. ;)

Normally, rightstuf only bills you as items ship. However, they did point out that, for this sale, if your order has to be split into multiple shipments, they'll bill you the full amount with the first shipment. But you'll defintely have something in the mail before you're charged.
'Backordered' is a pretty standard message with Rightstuf. Most likely, you'll get everything just fine, but they do point out that since this sale is moving so much closeout product, something may go out-of-stock before your order's filled. They'll email you when that happens so you can pick another item.

I ordered last Monday night and all my stuff is still "backordered". A couple people on DVDTalk had some of their dvds ship before the end of last week. I'm sure pretty much all the orders will be filled, but I'm still anxious to see that shipping confirmation. I really don't want to have to swap for any other titles. Plus, I'm hoping they fill the orders based on when you ordered, so people who ordered the first few days will see theirs ship first.
I hate the waiting! :-(

You can only buy from the "Bountiful Items" list. There are no box sets listed, only individual DVDs.
Also, you have to order exactly 10 DVDs (for $50) or exactly 25 DVDs (for $100).

So how do you know whether these are in-stock or not? I want to buy the entire Trigun and all of the Gungrave DVDs, but some of them don't list a quantity. For example, Gungrave Vol 4 still has 1185 quantity remaining, but most of the other volumes do not list a quantity remaining. Does that mean they're out of stock?

If there is no counter, they should still have plenty available. It looks like they're missing a few volumes of Trigun, but you should be able to get all of Gungrave. They may take a while to ship though.

The four Haibane Renmei DVDs have always had "Reserved for Your Order" as their status. I checked this morning and Chobits 4 changed from On Order to Reserved, the other five are still On Order from Manufacturer.

Dammit, they also got Trigun 3 back in stock, which was the only one they were missing when I placed my first order.
*finger hovers over confirming a 3rd order* :-?
Finally placed the BOUNTY25 order. Got my 3 missing Ai Yori Aoshi volumes but sold out on the 2 Gatekeeper 21 DVDs. Ended up using 5 CDs as fillers.
Anyway, the 3 Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi Limited Edition DVDs and Someday Dreamers DVDs (especially V.1 + artbox) are a steal. If you haven't seen them, they are pretty good shows. I particularly like the Someday's Dreamers out of the two because of its beautiful art and music. Look at the Someday's Dreamers artbox and you know what I mean :)

Not only does that look to be more up my alley, but I've had this wallpaper for years that I absolutely love but never knew where it came from - and now it seems I may have figured it out :) : http://www.argylemonkey.com/images/tree girls.jpg

Hrm, well I sent in a request via the site's contact form (through the order review screen). Really hope they are able to swap them out.
Want to get AYA and Someday's Dreamers, but a) can't really find two DVDs to make 10, and b) really don't want to drop another $50 or $100 bucks. I definitely don't regret pouncing on the sale the first night, since a lot of the stuff I wanted has sold out (namely single volumes of series), and I would've hated to get incomplete series. Sigh.

Also thinking about placing a 2nd order. That Someday Dreamers looks interesting, also Chobits looks and sounds great(i read the Vol 1 box at Gamestop today), is it all Lain-Like or is there some action too??
also need to finish my Trigun, Hellsing, and Jubei Chan sets.....

Well, I just emailed them about switching some items (all of heat guy J and Sol Bianca with all of AYA/AYAE and Stellvia 7&8).
I'd call but thier phone lines are already closed so it seems. I probably will call in to check tomorrow.

I was able to get them to switch out Akira and replace it with Last Exile DVD 2, when it came back in stock last week, so now I have a complete Last Exile Set.
I also notice that my credit card has finally been charged so that probably means that my items have been shipped or are going to real soon (they've been on reserve for the past couple of days). Can't wait to get them even though I have absolutely no time to watch any of it.

That's cool. It stinks to have an incomplete set of a series you like.
also Chobits looks and sounds great(i read the Vol 1 box at Gamestop today), is it all Lain-Like or is there some action too??No action, unless you're into people running around town wondering what trouble your naive persicom has innocently gotten herself into.
The series is over rated, IMO. On the face of it, it does sound amusing and entertaining; it's set up to have Chi (the girl persicom) into crazy situations where her naivete gets reactions from her owner or other men around her. There's some mystery as to her history, but it's a fairly weak story.
She's pretty, but that's about the best thing I can say for it. The series bored me tremendously. I've heard that the manga is better. As I haven't read it, I couldn't comment.

Chobits is very light fare, but I really enjoyed it. Very funny, if a bit predictable at times. I'd say it's the perfect length; any longer and it would have risked wearing out its welcome. I definitely will be rewatching my set at some point, so I'd say it's well worth the $4/disk if you're into comedy anime & don't mind a heavy does of fan service.
Damn, Someday's Dreamer sounds like something I'd like. OH I don't want to place another order..
I'd feel stupid doing two $50 orders when I could have done a $100 order and got 5 fillers
Rightstuf's website is very slow right now.
If you are wanting to do a switch I highly suggest you call. Emailing the request seems to take quite awhile and I have had the item ship while waiting for an email response in the past. Oddly enough when I called today there wasn't any hold time either. Just have the item numbers of the new titles you are switching in.
I thought the enishi limited editions were a steal when they were on special for 14.99 each. Still amazed at them being added. With all these new people getting the single releases I wonder if it is time to unleash my two extra sealed ai yori aoshi boxes to the world.

I really love Someday's Dreamers. It's worth checking out. And of course 20 mintues after Tenchi is posted #2 is gone. URGH!
With all these new people getting the single releases I wonder if it is time to unleash my two extra sealed ai yori aoshi boxes to the world. I unleashed one few months ago for $60 BIN. It went unwanted until the last 36 hours or so.
Anyway, I still have one spare one to unleash :evil:

I swear to god, ive saved and moved all the items i want about 3 times, and everytime i go to checkout it clears my cart. Trying to place another order for 25 items. Getting kinda annoyed...
*EDIT*
Finally it went through... Decided to get some random things. Couple i didnt hear too great reviews on, but i have pretty varying tastes, and try to watch as much of a series as possible no matter how bad (I was able to sit through Gregory Horror Show, that should say something). Haibane i mainly went for because i love Lain & Texhnolyze. I was tempted to buy Master Keaton just because its an Urasawa title, but it didnt look like it'd compare to the greatness of Monster & 20th Century Boys.

Just so you know, Shawne Kleckner said (on the animeondvd.com boards) that more additions is unlikely.

I could probably do that. I was planning on putting together one more order, but I was 3 items short. Anyone else only need 1 or 2 more discs?

This morning my Enishi DVDs upgraded to shipment processing, so I hastily called customer service (was going to follow up my email request anyway) and was able to successfully change it to the box+figures. Phew!
Their automated greeting guy is mildly annoying, but I enjoyed the Jpop hold music.

Well, if you swap out things you basically fall to the bottom of the queue in terms of shipment. So your order that was in the process of shipping is now last in line. :-( At least that's what Shawne said anyway.

Yeah, I figured as much, but I don't mind. It's worth it to get the box and figures. :)
When did you place your order? I think you still have a few stages to go. You'll probably see a Processing stage, then "all backordered" or "on order from manufacturer", then reserved, then shipment processing, then finally shipment. Phew. :)
They are doing a great job filling the orders in a timely manner, considering how many orders they got.

a lot of the dvds i want in this sale are in the bargain bin, with 100+ left saying "on order from manufaturer". does this mean they aren't in stock? the information they have listed is contradictive.. and confusing me

It means that they are not in stock, but should be soon. As long as the counter hasn't reached zero, you should be able to get them.

Anyway, the sold out of AYA Vol2 since, though I still modified the order anyway, replacing Heat guy J and Sol Bianca with AYA and AYA E and the last 2 Stellvia vols, with Appleseed in place of the missing AYA.

I got a couple of those emails as well, and my DVDs then shipped a few days later. I am pretty sure that if you can order it, you should be able to get it. I am pretty sure the stock counters show how much they are expecting to recieve even if it's not actually in stock at thier warehouse. If there isn't a counter, it probably means they have plenty. So I really don't think you have anything to worry about, especially since the sale still has a ways to go! =3
Oh no, I did some quick math and
Koi Kaze + Lain + Someday's Dreamers + Last Exile + Stellvia = 25 discs

How is Doki Doki School Hours as an anime?

How is Doki Doki School Hours as an anime?
If you've seen Azumanga Daioh, it's somewhat similar (I believe it's actually the slightly older of the two). Though I'd only seen the first few episodes of Doki Doki School Hours, I'd say that Azumanga is definitely the better buy (assuming that you don't have it or haven't seen it).
If you have seen Azumanga and are looking for something similar, my recommendation would be to wait for the DVDs for Pani Poni Dash to come out. ADV has the license -- not sure when they're supposed to be out.

What's funny is that off of the main TRSI page, when I click on "where's my stuff?" I'm given a Ship Date of Sept 18. But the status is, Hasn't shipped yet.
I am pretty sure that if you can order it, you should be able to get it. I am pretty sure the stock counters show how much they are expecting to recieve even if it's not actually in stock at thier warehouse. If there isn't a counter, it probably means they have plenty.

*nods* And each item on my order list has gone from "on order from manufacturer/warehouse" to "reserved for your order" so I'm pretty comfortable that there is one of each of what I ordered alloted to my list. I think I'm just excited about finishing off some collections, so I'm not my normal rational self over this.

For some reason my 2nd order i placed this morning (1:30am est) isnt even showing on my status. I got the confirmation email at least. The only thing im worried about is that Koi Kaze vol 1 is "on order" but doesnt have any numbers of how many are available...

The order I placed around 11pm last night isn't up yet either. I'm expecting it after their update tonight. Also, no numbers mean they still have plenty left, so you should be fine.

Ya know, I thought to myself, Fushigi Yugi sure looks interesting...
Then I thought a friend might enjoy Akira and Appleseed...
Then I realized I always wanted copies of the Tenchi Muyo OVA dvds...
Then I realized Soultaker and Texnolyze were in anamophic widescreen, and I'm a sucker for cheap, potentially interesting series in a widescreen format...
Then I learned another friend wanted the second FLCL cd...
And then I needed one more to finish up the 25, and Gankutsuou caught my eye...
And that's how I spent $100. After ordering the R.O.D. series special + the OVA last week. Damn Rightstuf.
And to think, I want to order more...
Humm my original order is still waiting to be shipped. It's waiting for me to break and order more before I figure out I don't have room for another 100 dvds

You can check the status by going to the main site and clicking on "Wheres My Stuff". It'll give you the status for each dvd.
Got my order today. I love these Texhnolyze Lenticular covers, the 3d is so vibrant in them (only ordered vol 1 & 2 to complete my set and only vol 1 had the lenticular cover, not sure if any of the others come with them). A couple of the dvd locks were broken (one chobits & one gungrave) but the dvds were packaged pretty well so they didnt move around or get scratched up.

Eh, wish I had called now because I still haven't heard back from my change request email, but then again the order is still pending from the manufacturer. Can't call today, but I'll probably just call them on Monday assuming it hasn't updated or I haven't received an email by then.
Was hoping my first order would be here today, but no luck. How fast is their free shipping usually?
EDIT:
Lol, N/M. I just received this email from them:
Good Morning Greg,
Thank you for your email.
Per your request I have removed Sol Bianca: The Legacy DVD 1,2, and 3,
and replaced them with Someday's Dreamers DVD 1, 2, and 3 on order
******** for you. It will take approximately 24 hours to update in our
system.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
Have a great day!
Thank You,
