This time they have a better format, more icons and less 56k friendly. I seen some dvd for $6. Maybe the pretty icons will convince you this time to buy something. Enjoy.

What the heck is wandada Style anime? (1st time I saw this)

Close, they put a hole through the UPC, damaging the case in the process.

I've bought from them a couple times. Shipping is expensive and they aren't too keen to emails asking if your order has shipped. "It ships when it ships, now stfu" is kind of their mentality.

So, if you can find a great deal even after factoring in the shipping, don't mind a little damage to the DVD case, and aren't in a big hurry, these sales are okay I guess.

Does it only seem like a large selection because we have to scroll through a bunch of fucking pages? Maybe they think you'll get tired of going from page to page and you won't find anything you like, then they don't have to deal with someone asking a reasonable question about shipping times.

I hate the new setup as well... i was more likely to buy things when I had one big list with pictures to scroll through, even if it did take 3-4 minutes to load on my crappy lil' computer. (Technically, you can still set it to list, but there's no pictures and it's still split across multiple pages.)

With this new crappy 9 item per page but dozens of pages thing, I just jump to the 1 or 2 series I care about, then leave if they aren't cheap enough. No more impulse buys (good for me, bad for them.)

Eh? What?

You can change the number of items displayed per page just above the first row of items. I set it to 1024, and it took a loooooooong time to load, but at least I got to see everything at once.

There are 922 things on sale, btw.

I'm still annoyed they don't have the rights to Farscape Season 1 anymore. That's all I need to complete my collection is the Starburst season 1 sets.

The others are on sale for 12$ each though and that's a steal for an awesome show.

There should be an asterisk on the site denoting, "Remember when we sold RahXephon: The Movie w/ LE Box for $6? Yeah, we decided to change that. All of our sales are shit now."

I don't call $25 for AIR Vol. 2 a sale.

just as a note, I was looking and you can now chang the view to list and change how many you see at once. It comes up with a title and price list that loads quickly and is pretty easy to read if you don't care about the pictures. Some ok prices it seems. Might have to buy the two volumes of Madlax I still need at 7 each, although now I see that they are down to 6.99 at rightstuf and cheaper shipping. Make sure to check rightstuf bargain bin on individual volumes before you pick anything up since ADV shipping is alot worse.

I picked up the entire run during one of the RightStuf sales. It's apparently about a girl J-Pop band trying to become superstars... and perform on the moon. They meet up with a scientist. Again, haven't watched them yet... but I picked them up...

Seems like it is $19.99 @ rightstuf.

Wandaba Style was pretty terrible. Very bad Excell Saga rip off. The opening theme is quite nice though.

I went ahead and ordered all the remaining Farscape Starburst sets I don't have, hopefully they wont come with floaters since the Starburst sets have horrible packaging.
I wonder if we'll get free stuff with this sale, I remember buying something from them during another sale and they sent me a free anime box set.
