Right Stuf Sale Thread (33-40% off Bandai Entertainment) ENDS 11/10

[Sailorneorune]

Original FMA can be had in 4 sets @ $18.99 each at last check at the Right Stuf bargain bin.

Pick up the first set, see if you like it compared to (or in concert with) Brotherhood, and go from there.

Buy the first one; it has beautiful packaging. And while you're at it, buy Kurau: Phantom Memory (http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/CWzVpLpf09antaJFSQ/browse/item/80529/4/0/0).

[GhostShark]

Yeah, get the first box set. That is a fucking beautiful boxset. I might get that as well. I watched all 24 episodes a few months back on Netflix Instant Queue and man I was blown away.

[Gden]

styl3s, if you don't mind some fluff and mecha, I'd say try Full Metal Panic. Also apparently the seasons of Full metal alchemist are coming out as viridian collections with an MSRP of $50 (well the first season is) in september. That low of an MSRP should bring down the price elsewhere. Also
http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/B0XUitA8F1Tp=DaiE7/browse/item/86825/4/0/0
is pretty much the cheapest price for Rurouni kenshin. That's $1 per episode. Yeah its $95, but its still average of $31 per collection. Also, Busou renkin is a pretty awesome action anime from the creator of Rurouni kenshin, yes, I like it. Also on a random side note, does anyone else wish that a company would license rescue Record of Lodoss war? I already have it, but I'd love to be able to recommend it to people again.

[styl3s]

I do like mech stuff if it has epic fights

as for the kurau phantom i watched a few videos and wasn't really digging it, i have about 150$ to drop on anime so i might snag the kenshin set and gankutuou, what is so special about kurau phantom? maybe im over looking something

[Kirin Lemon]

what is so special about kurau phantom? maybe im over looking something

It's *good*, that's what you seem to be overlooking.

And fuck that Kenshin shit.

[Gden]

If he has $150 to spend he should be able to buy all three Kenshin Gankutsuo, and kurau. (since kenshin is like 93, gank is 20 and kurau is 30). And if he likes kenshin more power to him, although he could just get the first two seasons, the third season is shit. Hell, he could just get the second season since that's the best part, but at least 1st part is pretty good. Btw, rightstuf doesn't charge tax in most states, and shipping would be free. Btw, I can't speak for Kurau, but generally those two have trustworthy ops on anime. And I still say if you like epic mech battles, then try http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/OYCkIiLQ-dQAwf2u74/browse/item/88341/4/0/0 . Isn't FMP available to watch online? I just looked it up, its on funimation's video site, so you could always watch it on there, forewarning its subbed. I personally thought the dub was amazing, but I can be a little easy on dubs. (they have to be love hina-bad for me not to watch it in english). Btw, Kirin is the FMP blu-ray just a SD upscale? I imagine it is since the original season was from 2001-ish, but would like a confirmation or declination.

[Afflicted]

Also on a random side note, does anyone else wish that a company would license rescue Record of Lodoss war?


I was actually just thinking about that this past week. This was prolly one of the first anime I ever watched.

Rented it from a local movie rental place that carried a small selection of anime. Well actually most of their selection was hentai... and this.

Would love to have a copy of this even tho it's prolly not as good as I remember.

[GhostShark]

Just ordered 2 5$ blind boxes and one 10$ blind box. Wish me luck!

[ChibiJosh]

How did so many places send out Toradora early, and rightstuf can't even send it out on time?

[DuelLadyS]

How did so many places send out Toradora early, and rightstuf can't even send it out on time?

I bought mine from rightstuf and got it a couple weeks ago. Sounds like you just missed the 'first batch' shipment... which, according to what I've read for this show, means TRSI might have to scrape a bit to fill their orders. Give it time.

[G-Nitro]

How did so many places send out Toradora early, and rightstuf can't even send it out on time?

I got my Toradora and Persona early from Rightstuf. Came in last week, and I know people who got theirs 2 weeks ago.

Curses! Foiled again.

I'd love to get Those Who Hunt Elves. The dub on that one is hilarious.

Great sale! Just placed an order:

$5 Blind Box- $5

w/ Got Anime: -$6.90

Total: $67.08

Haruhi S2 MSRP: $64.99

:D


In the bargain bin, Air TV is $12 for the series, that's a no-brainer if you don't already have it:

Wow, I'll be interested to see what comes in those $25 blind boxes. I picture one of those expensive statues. The $10 are already full 26 ep series so the $25 has to be somehow bigger than that.

Which is fine by me. :D

I already own Haruhi S1 but wanted to have a copy I can lend out. Looking forward to Haruhi S2.

[Chibi_Kaji]

I'm kind of tempted to get the Zeta collection. but I'm afraid Bandai might announce a blu-ray edition of it sometime down the road.

[Hamel]

Looking forward to Haruhi S2.
You are gonna get trolled

[Razzuel]

Haruhi Season 2- $38.99


Looking forward to Haruhi S2.

I can't imagine that it's worth it. 40 dollars and eight of the 14 episodes are identical, and it should also be noted that these episodes are going to be out of context, since they weren't the only episodes aired when they were aired. Last year, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya was re-aired, and these new episodes were a part of that re-airing, so unless you make the effort, you're going to be watching these episodes out of context with the rest of the show, and I can't imagine that's going to help its already damaged state.

[lilman]

You are gonna get trolled
Yeah, I know, "endless eight". Still want to see it.

I think Bandai mentioned that they need sales of S2 to be good in the west. Hopefully this will lead to production of (a better) S3 (if there is enough source material for it, I haven't checked out the Haruhi manga yet nor do I know much S1+2 have covered from the manga).

Thanks, I didn't know that. I'll look into the correct ordering of the episodes before watching. I watch all of my anime on my nmt, so switching between dvd's isn't a problem. Or I might just rip each episode from the dvds and order them that way. I really liked S1 so I don't mind making the effort to watch more Haruhi.

That's a horrible way of thinking. I doubt the Haruhi production committee is getting any of the money you're spending on the second season given how anime licenses usually work, but that's not the main problem with that line of thinking. You should never buy something with the hope that it will help a company do something else. This isn't a charity, and they don't particularly care about you, the individual. These are all businesses looking to make a profit. Buy what you like and don't buy what you don't like.

If you want to throw some money to Bandai, then buy Kannagi because it's fantastic. It's the best looking anime DVD that I own, it has the best subtitles out of any other anime DVD that I own, and it's a fun show.

I agree, that's a horrible way of thinking. That's not the reason I'm buying S2; I'm buying it because I really enjoyed S1 and so I want to see more Haruhi. I also like supporting anime series that get English dubs because I think too much money is lost due to the wide spread of anime fan-sub streaming. So whenever a series I'm interested in heads over to the west I almost always pick it up. I'm not trying to support Bandai in particular, but I do want to support English dub companies and series that I like.

If you want to throw some money to Bandai, then buy Kannagi because it's fantastic. It's the best looking anime DVD that I own, it has the best subtitles out of any other anime DVD that I own, and it's a fun show.
I was looking at that one, I might pick it up before the sale ends. I only hesitated on it because it isn't English dub. I watch anime at night and (for personal reasons) I can't be reading that late. Thanks for the rec :)

[ChibiJosh]

eight of the 14 episodes are identical
Either you've never seen it or you need to look up the definition of identical. =P

[Razzuel]

Either you've never seen it or you need to look up the definition of identical. =P

I haven't seen it nor do I want to, but you're just arguing semantics at this point, which is a bit silly, haha. From what I've heard, they're similar enough to the point at which I feel comfortable calling them identical, even if there are ever so slight differences between them.

What adjective would you use instead?

[ChibiJosh]

you're just arguing semantics at this point, which is a bit silly, haha.
Not really. Arguing semantics would be like arguing that something is 'huge' when someone just called it 'big' because there isn't a clear distinction between where big ends and huge begins. This is more like you calling a banana orange and me arguing that it's yellow. While orange is right next to the yellow on the spectrum, there is a clear distinction.
Identical is exactly the same, so there is no leeway there. Something is either identical or it's not.

I BS'd all that, but it sounds good enough.

[DarkSageRK]

Haruhi s2 has 2 great episodes, 4 good ones, and 8 terribad ones. At that ratio, and with no extras, you'd be insane to buy it for any price over $20.

You know what? We could continue this war of words ad infinitum, but how about we both agree that we both lose, and we both agree that the Endless Eight are terrible episodes?

You aren't much fun, ya know.

[Rave Child]

I liked Haruhi season 2, even with the endless eight. It was annoying, but not too bad to watch once a week. I'd probably kill myself if I marathoned the season, though. It's absolutely not worth more than $20, though. I'd really only buy it if it came in a set with all 26 episodes from both seasons in chronological order like it was (re)aired, and not for more than $30-35, since I already own two versions of the first season.

[Chronis]

You guys are crazy for buying complete blind box orders.... But I love it! I'll be interested in seeing whats in the $25 boxes though. I'll willing to bet on newer releases than k-dramas. I mean, those have their own niche in an already niche market....

And since it's been mentioned nonstop for the past page, what's the deal with this infamous endless 8?

[Razzuel]

And since it's been mentioned nonstop for the past page, what's the deal with this infamous endless 8?

They are eight episodes that are essentially the same.

[Rave Child]

Each is redrawn and has its own voice acting, though. And one of them has a K-On! reference, so that's always fun :razz:. But it makes the season essentially 7 episodes long, so definitely not worth what they're asking...

[G-Nitro]

Or you can wait for the Haruhi Blu-Ray being released in japan with all the episodes of both seasons in correct order, and it will have English subtitles. :D

And I second Razzuel's recommendation of Kannagi. GREAT SERIES! ;D

[lilman]

Or you can wait for the Haruhi Blu-Ray being released in japan with all the episodes of both seasons in correct order, and it will have English subtitles. :D
I found the proper episode ordering: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Melancholy_of_Haruhi_Suzumiya_episodes
I already have S1 so I'll just rip those episodes now, rip S2 when it arrives, and name them with the proper ordering. I don't care too much for blu-ray since I watch all anime through my nmt and I don't have the proper hdd setup to handle blu-ray space requirements (yet...).

And I second Razzuel's recommendation of Kannagi. GREAT SERIES! ;D
Agh, another rec for Kannagi. I really should hold back on buying more anime, especially with my backlog...

It's not that good. ._.

[Razzuel]

I don't have to see them to know what they are; I've read enough information on the Endless Eight to know what they entail.

It's not that good. ._.

Don't listen to him.

[surak]

I appreciate Endless 8 for attempting to express subtlety in anime. The eps are identical if you have ADD, sure. It's not about the plot, which doesn't change between eps. It's about the characters, the grim shock of Haruhi's power manifested and feeling helpless as Kyon and especially Yuki -- who goes through what the viewer goes through except 1000x worse. Of course this turns off many, but the ways in which the show bucks expectations works for me.

[Chronis]

Yeah, i get that but I just don't get why....

Of course this turns off many, but the ways in which the show bucks expectations works for me.

Endless 8 was absolute shit. You're right though, the episodes aren't identical; they get progressively worse. For me to say this, even though you see Haruhi in a bathing suit every episode, says something about the level of fail it contains. Please understand that this is coming from someone whose favorite anime is TMoHS and whose favorite character is Haruhi.

Funny story. Kyon used to be my favorite male character, but after this shitty season he doesn't even rate top ten. Buy it if you must, to say you did, but pretending to like it just because you spent a lot of time watching it? I think it's time to admit that you made a bad investment and move on...

[Razzuel]

Yeah, i get that but I just don't get why....

Haruhi and friends are stuck in a time loop. Sounds great, right? Wrong.

If you want to watch an amazing show that does time loops right, then watch The Tatami Galaxy. It's fucking fantastic.

[DarkSageRK]

All right. Here, let me break it down for you. Spoilers, I guess, though it's not like it really matters...

So Haruhi & Co. hit breaktime! Since they're out of school, they just gotta have fun, right?

First episode, they have fun 'n shit. They go to the pool and we get to see some tits and ass. At this point, I thought, "I don't care what anyone says. Tits and ass straight across eight episodes? You'd have to be gay to not want to watch this!" Little did I know, I would be cursing my heterosexuality seven episodes later.

Other activities occur and they're all boring, but okay enough to watch. I figure, "All right. This would be a pretty decent filler episode. So, next episode the plot'll start and this will be really great."

What the fuck was I thinking?

One "pretty decent" filler episode turned into eight terribad episodes. Filler is meant to be seen once, and this was definitely not once. The one new thing that episode 2 brings us is that Kyon realizes that he's stuck in a time loop and has been for the 5000000 years or something equally ridiculous. Rather than try to stop it, he doesn't do anything, leaving it up to his next retarded incarnation. Yes, rather than save Yuki the pain of having to live through all that shit (because she actually retains her memory, but can't do anything about the situation), he just says "fuck it" and leaves it up to someone else to fix. He even knows the correct way to fix the loop is to complete Haruhi's summer and make her not have any regrets. What a cunt.

Oh, BTW, nobody's actions change from episode 2 up until episode 8, when the only change occurs in the last 3 minutes. So you get to see filler after filler with stupid character interaction after stupid interaction.

So what does the final episode bring us? Why, we get to find out how Kyon & co. break out of the time loop! How? Well, Kyon invites Haruhi to do homework with them. Yes, because Haruhi is the only person with her head on right when it comes to academics, she never fucked up her life so badly that she had to do everything last minute like the fuckwits she hangs around with do. By having everyone copy off her homework, Haruhi's summer is complete and the time loop ends.

Yes, really.

Does this ignore the fact that at the end of every episode, before leaving, Haruhi implies that she has her own agenda for tomorrow, as she beggingly looks around at everyone, hoping they'd disagree with her suggestion to have a day off from fun activities? Why yes, YES IT FUCKING DOES.

So how exactly did taking advantage of Haruhi's friendship in order to get the retards' homework complete make Haruhi super happy, even though she didn't get what she actually wanted? Well, it's because the producers simply didn't give a shit. And that's the moral of this season.

There's your Endless 8. You're welcome. I just saved you 3.5 hours of your life.

[Chronis]

I'm not going to lie... it hurt just reading that.

[Rave Child]

It's really not so bad one week at a time... I appreciated the subtle differences each episodes, but I'm in the minority here. Again, though, I wouldn't pay more than $20 for this set, and that's pushing it. I'd say my favorite part of endless eight is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpAEd17Tdro

You missed the point of the resolution by a mile, man. Haruhi, while having god-like powers and being good at practically everything she tries, still wants to be appreciated and included by the group. She just doesn't know how to do it in a way that isn't full of bravado. Kyon doesn't understand this because of her usually blunt outward behavior, which she normally exhibits to get everything she wants. Plus, he's too embarrassed to admit that the reason he goes along with everything is because he actually enjoys spending time with her and the SOS-dan. Wrapped up in the eons of time passing by as a loop is the core awkwardness both of them have in expressing their feelings. It's not that much of a stretch, outside the sci-fi leanings -- men and women have had trouble reading each other since forever.

[Grico]

Well this thread has really went off track from rightstuf deals. Hopefully some people get and post about their $25 mystery item buys, I'm very curious about them.

Soul Eater part 4 arrived today, a full 15 days before release date (and I used economy shipping). Gotta love RightStuf <3

Yeah they can be great at shipping out stuff before release date. I think I got the 1st box set of Clannad almost a month earlier than the release date.

[Rave Child]

I got Clannad After Story Collection 1 from them a good 4 weeks before release day, as well. They really are great about shipping items early if they get them from their suppliers.

[Razzuel]

I got a bunch of stuff from Right Stuf today, and thankfully all of it is in perfect condition.

[GhostShark]

Got my blind box order today.

$5 - Wedding Peach Season 1 Collection and Origin: Spirits of the Past.
$10 - Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi Tin.

I'm pretty happy with it. I doubt I will watch Wedding Peach though.

[Indecisive Rattle]

Hmmmm... I want Abenobashi, and am willing to pay $10 for it... but with my luck I'll get some show I would never ever want to watch even if it was free.

[Gden]

Immm... Indecisive he may still have it on his amazon seller thing for $13, his name on there is shawnek or something, you'd have to ask some of the people on here who ordered off there. Granted its the normal version of the dvds not the awesome tin.

I ordered a $10 item, but I'm actually not too keen on having Abenobashi (kind hoping for that Taruto show- I don't know why.) Maybe we can work something out if that's the one I get... (when it ships, that is.)

[Rave Child]

Yeah, I just bought it at Best Buy a couple weeks ago... I'm worried now!

Either way, I'm watching Angelic Layer and I'm enjoying it.
It would suck though if you get it for 25, but that box is better then the white one BB offers, IMO.

Well I was going to throw you some suggestions until you mentioned English Dubs. :P I don't know which ones are good, nor which ones have them, cuz I never pay attention to them. xD

Azumanga Daioh and Pani Poni Dash are both lighthearted, and funny, and have really good dubs. Oh, I see PPD on your list, but yeah still Azumanga Daioh.

It does, and it's in my backlog. Don't worry if you don't know if the English dub is good... if you have any recs for me that are available in English dub but you've only seen the Jap dub I'll check it out. I'm not too picky when it comes to the quality of English dub (very few English dubs have bothered me, Karin being a prime example).

Azumanga Daioh and Pani Poni Dash are both lighthearted, and funny, and have really good dubs. Oh, I see PPD on your list, but yeah still Azumanga Daioh.
I have both of those series already. I tried Azumanga, watched 4 episodes I think, and didn't like it (I know, it seems right up my alley, but for whatever reason I wasn't feeling it. I bought the full series though so I should give it another shot). PPD is still in my backlog.

Thanks for the recs guys, please keep them coming.

[Razzuel]

Thanks for the recs guys, please keep them coming.

You might like Stellvia, though Right Stuf is missing three of the volumes. If you can find the other three volumes somewhere else for a good price, then you should definitely get Stellvia.

I don't think this fits into your criteria, but I noticed you don't have Ghost Hunt on your list. You should definitely check out Ghost Hunt; it's pretty damn amazing.

[Friend of Sonic]

This is very off-topic, but I went to Half Price Books this evening. They had the official Trigun boxset (looks like the individual DVDs in a box set that holds them all) for 100.00. It's on hold under this Sunday (when the 50% can be used) and 49.99 would be under market value a bit it seems. I would hate, though, if they reprint a Trigun collection. Has anything like this been announced?

Thanks for any help-- I know some of you in here hate Trigun. =P

I'm going to recommend Kaleido Star. Don't let the sugary aesthetics fool you; it's got a lot of heart to go along with its simple comedy.

Oh, also Soukou no Strain (or just Strain). I can't really call it lighthearted, though some episodes certainly are. It's mechs + vengeance plot + mean-spirited school antics.

And lastly, 009-1. Cold War setting. Charismatic spy lead. Execution reminds me a lot of Big O in terms of pacing.

All three have very solid dubs and shouldn't set you back much price-wise.

It is a bit under what that set's going for... but Funi's upcoming re-release will likely include the 5.1 audio from the Trigun Remix release of the show, which would be better product. Of course, we have no price point for the funi release, so if the new audio mix doesn't matter to you, this isn't a bad deal.

This is all assuming it's the 8-disk original boxset release. If the box is tin, then it's one of the Trigun Remix boxes and only half the show. Part 1 goes for a bit under $50, part 2 goes for quite a bit more.

If it's anything other than an 8-disc paper boxset, or one of the two 3-disc tin boxsets, then it's likely bootleg and not worth buying at all. ;)

I agree with what others have said, wait for the Funi re-release. It's too bad Righstuf ran out of the Tirgun Remix set, they were selling it for $40.

Thanks for any help-- I know some of you in here hate Trigun. =P
I <3 Trigun. I hope the re-release cleans up the jitteryness of the original video... if so I'll gladly rebuy the series.

Btw, this Vash figure looks sweet: http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/2BmJXxynP8sIKSWiCS/browse/item/88279/4/0/0

[Friend of Sonic]

Yeah, I think you guys are probably right. I have a bootleg set that jitters too-- interesting to know the official DVDs are like that too. I'll wait until Funimation releases their set I suppose. Although, the article I read seems to indicate it's a 2011 license. Hope that's not how long I have to wait.

[G-Nitro]

5 x $1 - 4 Elemental Gelade Metal Plates, Yugioh Notebook

3 x $5 - Gurren Lagann Special Edition Vol. 1, Origin: Spirits of the Past, Eden's Bowy Complete (Disc 5 was loose and badly damaged. Skipped during playback. Requesting an exchange now)

3 x $10 - Abenobashi Complete Metal Tin, Neo Ranga Complete, Gantz Season 2 Complete

2 x $25 - Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok, Full Metal Panic/Fumoffu! Heavy Metal Collection

I decided to get into watching anime again. I ordered Gankutsuou and padded my order with a few blind boxes (2 $10 and 1 $25). This is what I got:

I'm pretty happy with what I got for blind boxes :D

[Gden]

I can't believe i didn't suggest this lilman, but you should watch Kaleido Star, people can say what they want about it, but its a very fun, lighthearted, and heartwarming anime.
http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/L4W6Gx0zA2YQLykpNs/browse/item/81001/4/0/0
Also since you seem to like AMG, have you tried adventures of the mini-goddess? Its not the best AMG related anime, but its not a complete disgrace. Another great show is El hazard, and its other series the Wanderers, its from the guy who made Tenchi, but its not like Tenchi, other than being a semi-harem anime. (but I don't think that guy can make a Non-harem anime). Sadly, most of El hazard is out of print, the only thing you can really get at Rightstuf is the Alternative world series which is MEH at best. Another good show is Kenichi, the mightiest disciple(IMO, other opinions may differ), its a good balance of comedy with some decent martial arts action. Up next on random anime I suggest also includes Kodocha, but this show you may want to try out first, because you may not like how random the main character is. Another great show is Martian Successor Nadesico, which is a hilarious space opera. It has a great dub (it was pretty much Spike spencer's breakout role, it also has brett weaver). Btw, pretty much all of these shows I've mentioned so far have good dubs (yes some people will disagree, but those are mostly people who don't normally like dubs). Next is Nerima Daikon brothers (btw I apologize if you have some of these, but I am trying to check your list to see if you don't own these shows). Its basically Blues brothers the anime. Its a fucking riot, and the dub is great, they got really good singers for the english version (btw its basically a perverse musical anime). If you've noticed all of these shows are on Rightstuf's weekly specials, but that's because I want you to not have to pay out the nose for the anime. I also suggest Slayers, and Rune soldier, though they are not on the weekly specials, they are both very funny animes with very good dubs (the tv series for slayers not the movies or ovas, the movies and ovas had a terrible dub.)

On a side note has anyone noticed that a lot of american cartoons are in the weekly specials, well not a lot but a decent few? Including Batman TAS and BAtman beyond.

Damn I typed a lot.

[Kirin Lemon]

Agreed. An often-overlooked gem.

(but I don't think that guy can make a Non-harem anime). Sadly, most of El hazard is out of print, the only thing you can really get at Rightstuf is the Alternative world series which is MEH at best.

Eh, the only El Hazard worth watching is the original OVA, Magnificent World. The Wanderers TV series, along with the second OVA and Alternative World, are complete wastes of time.

Another great show is Martian Successor Nadesico, which is a hilarious space opera. It has a great dub (it was pretty much Spike spencer's breakout role, it also has brett weaver).

:shock: Um... Evangelion?

[Gden]

Well, yeah, but people hated him as Shinji from what I understand, they actually liked him as Akito Tenkawa. I could be wrong on this, especially as I hated Eva (OMG, yeah, you heard me). Well, whatever that's not really the point of my post. I was just suggesting fun and lighthearted anime, the side thing was just a little extra saying that Spike Spencer was in there, and Brent Weaver. I was also just saying that aside from Eva, Spike had really not done any dubs til Nadesico, then he suddenly started doing a lot more. Granted that could also be because ADV also got a lot bigger after that point.

[wormraper]

It is a bit under what that set's going for... but Funi's upcoming re-release will likely include the 5.1 audio from the Trigun Remix release of the show, which would be better product.

It' been announced that the Trigun set will have a $49.98 msrp so expect in in the low $40's to high $30's (a funimation sale at TRSI will bring it to $29.99)

Great show. Gets my vote too!

Sadly, most of El hazard is out of print, the only thing you can really get at Rightstuf is the Alternative world series which is MEH at best.

Nozomi picked up the distribution rights on Wanderers; it should be out this fall. On a sidenote, the El Hazard OVA soundtrack is amazingly awesome, if only for the song where for no apparent reason, the singer belts out (in English) "fuck-ff baby!"

On a side note has anyone noticed that a lot of american cartoons are in the weekly specials, well not a lot but a decent few? Including Batman TAS and BAtman beyond.

I'll have to say, I'm really disappointed with my $25 blind box, especially after seeing things other people got. Also kind of funny that I got the special edition of Gurren Lagaan 01, and then another copy of the CD that comes with it. Not to mention that these blind boxes were placed with an order for the Gurren Lagann complete collection, so I really don't need any of the volumes...

I already got an Abenobashi tin with my previous blind box, so I'm open to trading that, as well as the Gurren Lagann DVDs if anyone's interested.

Whoa, thanks for all the recs Gden. I've already spent a lot on anime this month so I'll have to wait before buying anymore. I do have Mini-Goddesses and Kenichi in my backlog.

On a side note has anyone noticed that a lot of american cartoons are in the weekly specials, well not a lot but a decent few? Including Batman TAS and BAtman beyond.
Batman TAS is a classic, and Batman Beyond was surprisingly well done. My favorite western comic animated series is Justice League (http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/6BxH3ip6l2VtQCIsHW/browse/item/85369/4/0/0) (S1+2 and Unlimited S1+2).

I am also re-watching this show now ever day after work. One of my favorite shows of all time, still so good. :applause:

[Magikarp830]

You guys requested more details, so here's what I got from my last order:

$10:
Abenobashi tin
The Girl Who Leapt through Time (bottom plastic is ripped and flapping in the wind, but I think the box is in fine shape, otherwise). Is this series any good? Sounds decent from the backside text.

$5:
Mamoru Oshii: Cinematic Trilogy
Eden's Bowy
Kiba: Collection 1
Gurren Lagann: Special Edition 1 (same as everyone else's - mine was slightly crushed on the bottom). I wish this set had dubs... this is a show that's a little painful to watch, sub-only. They say WAAAY TOO MUCH, WAAAAY TOO FAST and you can easily miss the subtle jokes if you're not a speed-reader!

$1:
Stress ball
Armitage figure
Ninja Resurrection CD
Princess Nine Soundtrack 2 CD
Sin CD
Gundam Seed t-shirt (nothing special, just logo on blue shirt)
Green shirt with Japanese text - not from a series... I think it's promotional or something. No idea what it says... :roll:
3 Gellade Metal plates (same as what I've seen people post before me!).

I just ordered some more $1 items and a $25 box. I hope to God I get something decent like Full Metal Panic... but I'll probably come back and post the lament of Gurren Lagann instead... dammit. I wish I had remembered to check this thread before ordering! :wall:

[ArQuesta]

Curious, but anyone's thought's on the new Guyver series? Fan of the original and curious as to how it is...Plus now I want to jump in on the $10 mystery bags.

Guyver is one of my guilty pleasure series. It's actually quite good. It follows the manga almost exactly and goes through the whole of the original storyline though it doesn't really sum everything up in the end. It has decent pointless action and average action animation quality. It doesn't have fantastic in-betweens but the animation is very crisp, clean and bright. I'd buy it for the $10-15 pricepoint and maybe spend up to $20 on it if you're a fan. ;p

Sweet, may have to pick it up whenever I do my next order. Though last night I decided to do three $10 mystery bags so we'll see what I get come next week.

I really enjoyed it. I'm not sure the show would do well as a series, but as a movie I found it an entertaining watch.

Y'know... I thought it was a series, but I think it's the movie! :roll: It's a boxed set, so I sorta assumed... but I guess it comes with Soundtrack, premiere event footage, commentary, etc. 2-disc set.
Thanks for the feedback! Lookin' forward to checkin' it out! :D

Was it this set? http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/X4XYU8H0bcesVpVcec/browse/item/81419/4/0/0

It's a really great movie, and that's a great deal for the LE set.

Hopefully you don't get stuck with some Gurren Lagann crap for your $25 blind box. It's definitely the least awesome thing that's been posted so far, but it makes me want to order another and try my luck... I think I'll hold off for now though.

[LXL_Guy]

Okay, just placed an order on some blind boxes.

10 x $1
2 x $5
3 x $10

Hopefully something interesting comes in from this. I'll let you guys know next week.

[G-Nitro]

I'll be using some of my blind box items as prizes on future contests for my site. I figure if I'm not going to watch some, others will. :D

[Friend of Sonic]

I was very satisfied with the blind buy and would like to order to another batch. Do you think they'd proactively look at my history and not send me the same stuff? Seems like a longshot that they would do that-- has anyone gone back for seconds?

Yep! That's the one! I thought it was a good find - looked expensive/good! I guess I'm the only one on here that got this? :roll:

Yeah, you might get some repeats. I got the dollar ones again and ended up with a second Armitage figure (woo.). I'm not crazy enough to try the $10 ones again, or I risk owning a SECOND tin Abenobashi! The first one was nice... except I owned the regular edition.. :-#

I'll let you know what happens when I get my next box tomorrow. I got a $25 blind and 10 more $10 ones...

Oh, and I tried making a request on the $1 items and they emailed me back with a "no go" type of answer. :-/ So yeah...

[Chronis]

So the $1 blind boxes seem to be just soundtracks and pencil boards, with the ocassional shirt thrown in there... I dunno, seems fine for filler, but it I don't think I'd order a bunch of $1s over a $5 box. I guess, unless you're gonna use them as prizes like G-Nitro...

[itasha]

$5 Blind Box: Eden's Bowy Complete Collection
$25 Blind Box: Escaflowne Complete Collection

Although, Eden's Bowy is missing disc 5 while it was still in it's shrink wrap.
And Escaflowne is cheaper ($23.99) when bought outright from Right Stuf.

Let them know Disc 5 is missing. They are sending me a replacement disc for my disc 5 that was damaged.

[Gden]

Alright, Lilman, I'm actually not done on my suggestions. I can't believe I didn't give this suggestion since this anime for me is what princess tutu is for KL and Kurau is for Razzuel. I have shown this anime to 100s of people, action movie fans, people who hate anime, and people who only like ultra violent anime, and almost every single person I've ever shown it to has loved the show. There are some people who don't like it, but I've only met one of them, and that show is Fruits Basket, by the way. Gonna finish this off with 3 more recommendations, Daiguard (very funny anime that's a combo of Office space and gundam), His and her circumstances (if for some reason you don't know what this is its gainax's (the company that brought us FLCL, and eva) take on boy meets girl slive of life (btw its hilarious), and then finally Now and Then, Here and There. I swear I'm done now

I personally prefer the $1 stuff. Less of an investment if you get something bad, PLUS, it's more like anime SWAG. And I loves me some SWAG! :lol:

See, this is why it never hurts to ask. And here I thought they'd shoot you down and point to the disclaimer of "sold as-is" or some such. Good to know they'll replace discs... I'm gonna go check on my sets and make sure everything's there now! I haven't had a chance to open most of it... :roll:

Seconded on Fruits Basket (it's also got a dub that I greatly prefer to the original, can't stand women voicing men or even teenage boys). Haven't seen the others, but my #1 is still Samurai X Trust/Betrayal/Reflection, OVA's that make the series look like shit by comparison.

The condition of the packaging and stuff is sold as-is, but they guarantee all discs will be in working condition.

I thought the same thing, but checked the FAQ and that's where I got the answer.

[lilman]

Alright, Lilman, I'm actually not done on my suggestions.
Thanks Gden. Fruits Basket is in my backlog. I almost started it the other day but instead started another series.

Now and Then, Here and There looks kinda depressing. I'll pick up His and Her Circumstances next time RS has it on sale.

[Razzuel]

Now and Then, Here and There looks kinda depressing. I'll pick up His and Her Circumstances next time RS has it on sale.

Now and Then, Here and There is depressing, but it's very, very good. Also, His and Her Circumstances is great, but it falls apart at the end, unfortunately. I need to start collecting the manga, so I can see the rest of the story.

[Gden]

Don't let how depressing it looks turn you off, NTHT is amazing, and most of the people on here will agree with this. Its an amazing war story that does have depressing parts, but it still has a happy ending in the end.

[Kirin Lemon]

Yup, one of my absolute favorites. Nobody should be without it.

[surak]

Meh, I found NTHT's baldly expoitative narrative completely unenjoyable. Finding out it has a happy ending (never bothered to finish it) just cheapens it further.

I checked last night, and it looks like one of the sets has a damaged disc or two. It's this one that piled four discs in a spindle, in the case. I hate those cases... they charge so much for anime, typically, that they really need to use cheap cases??? I'm gonna test the discs and give RightStuf a buzz.

[B:L]

Fun fact: The director of Fruits Basket, Akitaro Daichi, is the same director of Now and Then Here and There.

NTHT is my favorite anime series ever. Highly recommended.

[Razzuel]

I didn't consider it a happy ending. It was bittersweet to me. Lala-Ru sacrifices herself, and Sara doesn't go back to her real family. The atrocities that Sara had to endure affected me, so I was hoping she would at least be able to go back to her old, normal life.

[Kirin Lemon]

Fun fact: The director of Fruits Basket, Akitaro Daichi, is the same director of Now and Then Here and There.

He's also directed two of my other favorites, Jubei-chan (along with its sequel) and Kodocha. The man is a god.

The sequel to NTHT, Legendz, was kind of a wash though.

[DuelLadyS]

Got my blind box items- $10 was, as expected, Abenobashi- I'll probably watch volume 1, just to see if I'm as disinterested in it as I was back when it first released. It's likely to end up as sale/trade fodder. I do like the tin though- I like how the 'double-lid' look pulls up the hinge so it can be stored flat or sideways, both vertically and horizontally. Most of my tins have to be set up facing one specific way so they don't rest on the lip/hinge.

My one dollar items were the Ninja Resurrection soundtrack (meh) and an Elemental Gelade metal pencilboard. Incredibly, and much to my delight, I got the 1 board out of six I didn't get back when I bought the series! Very happy to be finishing that set for just a buck. :D

Next run-though, I'll probably get some $5 items.... not too interested in what people are getting for their $25 items. They don't seem to be any better than the 5 or 10 dollar stuff, which is pretty sad considering the price hike. If I do order another $10, I'll mention in the special notes that I already have Abenobashi and see if it makes a difference.

[Magikarp830]

Got my latest order today! Woo!

The $1 items were AWESOME, as always!

$1:
Majin Buu Keychain - http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/jLHm-EXyBAyKZYRhzy/browse/item/57098/4/0/0
(Same one I already ordered previously, but still a cool keychain! :D)

Lupin the 3rd keychain - it's a silver medallion on a long chain http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb193/cyanotic1/IMG_0120.jpg - Pretty spiffy, as I haven't seen a keychain like this before...

Full Metal Alchemist keychain http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/jLHm-EXyBAyKZYRhzy/browse/item/79268/4/0/0
(http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/jLHm-EXyBAyKZYRhzy/browse/item/79268/4/0/0)
Sort of like that one, but with Al and Edward standing together. I HATE FMA, so I'm not sure what I'll do with this...

Pink stress ball character - has a blue beak and a red Z on its chest. Not sure what series it's from or what...

Black Cat keychain - http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/jLHm-EXyBAyKZYRhzy/browse/item/73920/4/0/0 SUPER CUTE. Very Awesome!

Kimera (Original Motion Picture Sountrack) CD

Sonic Soldier BORGMAN: Lovers Rain (Original Soundtrack) CD

Code Lyoko mini notebook - meh, also hated show. :roll:

Viewtiful Joe: Volume 1 DVD - Sweet! $1 DVD FTW!

Ai Yori Aoshi: Faithfully Yours 1 DVD - not sure if this is a movie, a show, or what...http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/jLHm-EXyBAyKZYRhzy/browse/item/58604/4/0/0

$25:
RahXephon: Complete Collection - 7 volume DVD set in artbox! http://www.amazon.com/Rahxephon-Complete-Collection-Jason-Douglas/dp/B000929VA4
I wonder if it's any good? I'm just grateful I didn't get Gurren Lagann... :roll:

Whew... hope you guys appreciate the work in posting this! :D I want to add that I've ordered 23 $1 blind boxes (over 3 different orders of 3, 10, and 10), and so far, I've only gotten 2 repeats - the pink stress ball and an Armitage figure! So it's been great ordering these! :applause:

I'd buy some more $1 boxes... the only crappy items IMO are the various CDs... Ehhh, but I doubt the wife would let me make yet another order! :roll:
RightStuf.com FTW.

[kk012]

^^Thanks for posting what you received for your blind boxes. I feel like putting in another Rightstuf order and pad it with some $10 blind boxes to get free shipping, but I don't know if I really want another Magical Shopping Arcade Adenobashi DVD set-haha.

[G-Nitro]

I feel like I got the only decent $25 blind box items. Well, I guess I won't test my luck on those again, and will stick to $5 and $10 ones.

I did place another order, but just for Lightning Warrior Raidy II. With shipping it was only $23, and I couldn't find anything I wanted to bring it to $50.

[DuelLadyS]

Pink stress ball character - has a blue beak and a red Z on its chest. Not sure what series it's from or what...

Oh, that's gotta be Normad (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GICyeJqPvOI/SwyHN3kzUtI/AAAAAAAAAew/28a973FCT-k/s200/19508.jpg) from Galaxy Angel... but as far as I know, no DVDs came with a Normad stress ball, and I don't recall one being sold on its own. In any case, I wish I'd gotten than instead of the soundtrack I did get. I love Galaxy Angel. :cry:

[Brian9824]

Ai Yori Aoshi is a romantic comedy series.

[Gden]

Ai Yori Aoshi is a super sugary sweet harem anime. I loved the show personally (not sure why), but I know it wasn't a big hit with a lot of people.

My thoughts EXACTLY. I want more cheap sets... but if I got TWO Abenobashi... then it'd be like paying $20 for it... cause what would I do with a second??? :roll:

All I know is that it's a PC game... which I was kind of curious about. Seems a bit traditional and sappy from the graphics on the box... but we'll see.

I liked it too, although it had more harem then I expected. The series starts off as a romantic slice-of-life comedy but quickly turns up the harem dial. It's light-hearted and fun, and I enjoyed both the original series and Enishi.

If this other dude doesn't PM me, you can have his/her's? Or I can send you my first one. It's a little small for me, anyway, so I don't mind givin' it to you as long as you don't mind I opened it! He's cute, but I have too much stuff!!

Wait, was that a low blow to YOU, personally, or to Gurren Lagann? :rofl: Cause, just so you know, I meant to insult Gurren more. But only a little more. :rofl:
I really wish they sent me something a little more grand.. I thought they'd put in a DVD set with built-in swag... like a free t-shirt or something. Some sets come like that now... For $25, I'm not sure it's worth taking the risk, if all you get is a random DVD set... :roll:

[G-Nitro]

Ugh, I won't be doing a $25 blind box again. That Mythical Loki set I got, is at $14 today on daily deal. I will have to agree with others who kind of got the shaft on those that they are not a good deal compared to the $10 and less blind boxes.

Yeah, I don't get it. They said that the blind boxes get incrementally better... but I really don't see that increment. For $25... I really thought they'd throw in some swag set... not just DVDs again.

I agree I think the $10 and below blind boxes are better deals. I was somewhat happy with my $25 blind box, but not impressed with it.

Does anyone think that most of the the items sent for these blind boxes will eventually be showing up in the daily deals regularly?

ooooo, thanks for letting me know about it being on the deal of the day. snagged a copy for $16.99 shipped

[Grico]

Yeah, I don't get it. They said that the blind boxes get incrementally better... but I really don't see that increment. For $25... I really thought they'd throw in some swag set... not just DVDs again.

So far it looks like they are just doing one item per mystery box. With the fact 26 episode series sets are being given in $10 boxes it doesn't really leave much for $25 that would actually be significantly better. The $25 boxes should be 2.5X times ish better and they don't really have anything around that is that much better than box sets that sold for 60-80 already. The only thing I see would be some of the anime statues and things.

[Fire_Thief]

Tenchi in Tokyo wasn't SOOOO bad. It's actually pretty good by the time you get to the ending. Just a lot of BS before you get to good story. And come on... it wasn't half as bad as the new Ryo Ohki series! That series was just... an idiotic, incomprehensible mess.

[Kirin Lemon]

And come on... it wasn't half as bad as the new Ryo Ohki series! That series was just... an idiotic, incomprehensible mess.

[LXL_Guy]

Just got my Rightstuf Blind Boxes...

$1 Blind Boxes:
2 X Ninja Ressurection CD (Total BS on this...)
Air Vol. 2
Ergo Proxy Vol. 1 (I don't need another copy...)
Galaxy Angel Z Vol. 3
Galaxy Angel AA Vol. 2,3,4
Sol Bianca The Legacy
Tenchi the Movie 2 The Daughter of Darkness

$5 Blind Boxes
Edens Bowy Complete Collection (Disc 5 looks scratched w/finger smudge)
Shinobi Double Pack

$10 Blind Boxes
Boys Be...
Chance Pop Session Complete Collection (already have the individual DVDs but whatever)
Gantz Season 2

Overall not bad for $50 but that Ninja Resurrection thing pisses me off. Double...ugh...so angry. Then another copy of ERGO PROXY vol 1...hate that too. Whatever, I'll probably order more $1 since I got mainly DVDs from that.

[Brian9824]

Throughout the course of human history, this is probably the very first time this sentence has been uttered.

Least he didnt say he wants to watch Love Hina in english.

[Razzuel]

What's with Right Stuf not having coupon codes for their sales anymore?

[killa5k7]

I enjoyed Love Hina. I bought the Perfect w/movies a while back. The dub was horrendous but I managed. Kirin is usually dead on but can miss a time or two...

[bardockkun]

My three $10 blind box had...

-Chance Pop Session: Complete Collection
-Magical Shopping District Abenobashi
-Gantz Season 2

Overall I'm happy.

[DuelLadyS]

What's with Right Stuf not having coupon codes for their sales anymore?

I'm pretty sure it's a ploy to make us buy more stuff to get free shipping. Note the blind boxes appeared about the same time the coupon codes went away.

It's defintely a bit of a pain, but I suppose I can't blame them for wanting the $50 free shipping to actually cost $50, not '30-ish once you put in the code'. Plus, now I can pad studio sales with items I don't expect to go on sale soon (like Toradora) and use the catalog/got anime coupons every so often. That's kinda nice, I guess...

[DeepFriedAsian]

How often does RightStuf ship early with Bandai-related stuff? I've got Haruhi S2 preordered for $42 (With shipping), but I can get it at Borders.com for $31 with the coupon code they currently have (But I'll have to wait a few days before release until I actually receive the damn thing). I'm willing to shell out an extra 10 or so bucks if it means I get the DVD set a couple weeks earlier.

It depends entirely on if the show's available early. When Scrapped Princess first released, for example, they had it ready for pre-release convention runs... but that meant TRSI got, and shipped, theirs early too.

Lately however, it's been a lot more common for Bandai to push back release dates- I wouldn't count on an early shipment at this point.

[Chibi_Kaji]

Those blind boxes actually seem to be ok. Maybe next time I order from them I'll give one a shot.

Tenchi in Tokyo wasn't SOOOO bad. It's actually pretty good by the time you get to the ending. Just a lot of BS before you get to good story. And come on... it wasn't half as bad as the new Ryo Ohki series! That series was just... an idiotic, incomprehensible mess.
No, TiT was complete garbage. The story was horrible and the animation looked like crap. Also it was 26 eps worth of trash. Sure the new OVA was garbage but at least it was brief. Honestly I'd rather rewatch all of the new OVA then ever see one ep of Tenchi in Tokyo again.

[Devulture]

Dual! for 40 dollars.

I used to love that show back in Anime Unleashed. One of these days I should jump in on this offer.

[Chibi_Kaji]

Dual! is pretty good. I need to watch that again sometime.

[surak]

Maybe Dual! is more rare these days, but a couple years back I got each individual disc from Right Stuf for $3 - $5 in the Bargain Bin, though they didn't have them all in stock at once.

Thanks, I just checked and S2 has been pushed back to September...
Might as well get it from Borders then, since I'll be in no rush to get it as I'll be back in class.

I really hope Bandai doesn't pull this crap for Disappearance :bomb:

[Devulture]

Part of me is regretting not getting the Tenchi Universe box set for 20 bucks when it's available. Now I gotta wait for FUNI's jacked-up price version.

[lilman]

RS finally gave up on waiting for Kannagi to get in stock and mailed out the rest of my order (Ghost Hunt and some Stellvia). In a separate order Haruhi S1 is still oos and S2 was pushed back to September. Come on Bandai, if you want our money if you have to actually produce your product :P

Don't tell me that I just missed another chance to pick this up from Rightstuf.

Because I just did. :bomb:

It'll hopefully pop up again within a month.

[killa5k7]

I picked up dual super cheap on eBay back in the day. I however do not have the box to hold them....but that is cosmetic I guess..I am running out of room buying all this anime. I would trade many of this anime I have for thin packs boxes just to save space.

Get it from Deepdiscount.com. Right now through the 2nd they have it for $23.98 with free shipping

[Magikarp830]

Haha, I will absolutely grant you that.
Really? I was sure you'd rant about how awesome Tenchi: Ryo Ohki was! :lol: It's not that it was soooo much worse than Tenchi in Tokyo, just that I couldn't believe they could match how bad Tenchi in Tokyo was! I expect people to make wrong turns from time to time... but to not learn anything???


No, TiT was complete garbage. The story was horrible and the animation looked like crap. Also it was 26 eps worth of trash. Sure the new OVA was garbage but at least it was brief. Honestly I'd rather rewatch all of the new OVA then ever see one ep of Tenchi in Tokyo again.
TiT (hahahha! Nice accronym!) was NOT complete garbage! I thought the characters were... well, really, we're talking about the ONE new character. And she was the most obnoxious new thing thrown in our faces... until you got to the end and it got kind of sweet/bittersweet. Maybe I just liked it better cause of how certain scenes resonated with me: the whole sitting by the phone and waiting for a phone call from a girl/guy? I just thought they captured a lot of emotional gold toward the end. I'll admit it was a trudge through sewage to get there, though.
Plus, the hell was Ryo Ohki about anyway? I could watch it 100 times and it still wouldn't make sense.

Part of me is regretting not getting the Tenchi Universe box set for 20 bucks when it's available. Now I gotta wait for FUNI's jacked-up price version.
Didn't FUNI re-cast Ryoko? See, I hate MOST Funimation dubs. Especially the DBZ ones... I really wish they kept the old DBZ voice actors from that Canadian studio...

Just got my Rightstuf Blind Boxes...
$1 Blind Boxes:
Galaxy Angel Z Vol. 3
Galaxy Angel AA Vol. 2,3,4

Kind of jealous you got Galaxy Angel!!! I would have loved at least one... would have gone nice with my TWO GA stress ballz, which I had no idea what they were until DuelLady cleared it up... You would THINK that they'd sort of match the stuff up.
Giving you TWO CDs that were exactly the same is LAME. Especially since ONE copy of that CD is probably insult enough! :rofl:
I'm pretty sure it's a ploy to make us buy more stuff to get free shipping. Note the blind boxes appeared about the same time the coupon codes went away.

It's defintely a bit of a pain, but I suppose I can't blame them for wanting the $50 free shipping to actually cost $50, not '30-ish once you put in the code'. Plus, now I can pad studio sales with items I don't expect to go on sale soon (like Toradora) and use the catalog/got anime coupons every so often. That's kinda nice, I guess...
I have no idea what you just said. Probably just me, not being cool enough to understand. I've never seen coupons that knock a $50 down to $30! I've only seen $4 coupons. On orders of like $60+.
On a side note, isn't it just sad how Amazon makes absolutely no effort to match or beat these prices???

I have no idea what you just said. Probably just me, not being cool enough to understand. I've never seen coupons that knock a $50 down to $30! I've only seen $4 coupons. On orders of like $60+.


It's not that the code gave you $20 off, you just got free shipping when you shouldn't. For example...

Old System:
2 $25 boxsets= $50=free shipping
coupon code= 40% off= $30, and still free shipping because you hit $50 before the code.

New system:
2 $25 boxsets+ 40% pre-applied= $30... but no free shipping becuase you didn't hit $50.

It's annoying, but it's not horrible, and it makes it easier to use the catalog coupons. Like when I placed my Toradora order- I matched it with a Yen Press sale since I couldn't make free shipping with Yen Press alone, and Toradora qualified for the $4 off coupon- not a great deal, but I did still beat the weekly specical price they have right now, so I think I did OK.

[2supekards]

great idea

[Gden]

Sooo.... its like Angel Sanctuary only slightly less creepy?

[Devulture]

Apparently, Koi Kaze doesn't have any fantasy elements. Just a grounded controversial drama dealing with the relationship between an older brother and a young sister, and the age difference is astounding (brother = college student, sister = middle school).

[Razzuel]

Apparently, Koi Kaze doesn't have any fantasy elements. Just a grounded controversial drama dealing with the relationship between an older brother and a young sister, and the age difference is astounding (brother = college student, sister = middle school).

You are correct. Koi Kaze is a realistic drama about the relationship between a 27 year old brother and his 15 year old sister. The writing is phenomenal, and the characterizations are amazing. Yes it's about incest, but why should that stop you? There are plenty of other unsettling things in other shows that no one seems to be overtly offended by.

[Devulture]

I am so demoralized from all the erotic comics that a subject of incest isn't taboo to me.

A relationship between a man and bigfoot, that would be taboo.

Well, I don't know what you're erotic comics are like, but Koi Kaze is portrayed sincerely — it's not obnoxious or voluptuous.

It's always good to watch a genuine romance, not a romance by obligations and contrivances.

People have been suggesting Nana for a while, and I am interested in watching it, but I just don't have the time or the money to invest in this series. Recently, I got Baccano! as a gift and I haven't seen it yet.

also is evangelion worth it? the cheapest i can find a complete set new is there for like 40$ the christmas bundle or something stupid like that, seems like they release ALOT of box sets.

[Devulture]

Well, you could either wait years for the Rebuild of Evangelion to be done (since that's suppose to the preferred version to watch)...or you could just jump right in to the TV series and be utterly appalled by how it ended.

But yea, I would say the Evangelion TV series is worth a look.

Yeah, but the end of the TV series doesn't soil everything that happened before it, and he could watch The End of Evangelion, an alternate ending, which is better than the original ending.

[Devulture]

To be honest, I actually liked the ending of TV series. I know most people don't, however.

As for the movie (which at this point is OOS), it may be a definite ending, but I wouldn't call it better.

Yeah, being out of print does suck (and it looks like it's gotten more expensive since the last time I looked it up). Also, The End of Evangelion being a more definite ending is the reason why I liked it better than the original ending.

I prefer the tv end. It ties up well the psychological issues of the series if not the plot point issues. Movie just adds more explosions and blood/death with a similar message and progression.

I was just thinking about your query today, before I even read this post. I think I have the answer: erotic manga is just more creative. When there's no limit to what you can have your "actors" do, you get all sorts of funky, cool setups. Cat-women, tentacles, cosplay, etc. I don't personally get how anyone could stick to "real naked girls" without getting bored with all the same-same porn out there. Or to put it more simply: "Variety is the spice of life."

Holy fuck breasts testicles, Morbito for 20, eh? But is this the shitty packaging for the Complete Collection Walmart had?

[WTK]

Holy fuck breasts testicles, Morbito for 20, eh? But is this the shitty packaging for the Complete Collection Walmart had?
It is the one that Wal-mart had (if you look at the cover art). Therefore expect STACKpak packaging.

[XxFuRy2Xx]

WTK is right, if you buy Moribito from the link Razzuel has posted then you can expect a stackpack.

[Kirin Lemon]

WTK is right, if you buy Moribito from the link Razzuel has posted then you can expect a stackpack.

For $20, I'm willing to let that slide. I'll just replace the case.

[Devulture]

The DVD packaging nowadays is getting cheaper and less manageable. Slim cases seem to be the best of both worlds (costs little to manufacture and takes little space), so why are those being mostly ignored?

[DuelLadyS]

For $20, I'm willing to let that slide. I'll just replace the case.

That's what I did! Couldn't match the case size excactly, though...

side-by-side before replacement (http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c367/PinkyLi/SANY0012.jpg)

Discs (http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c367/PinkyLi/SANY0026-1.jpg)
And finally, The guy on Ebay I bought the case from (http://cgi.ebay.com/1-MULTI-8-DISC-DVD-CASE-CD-DVDR-CDR-BOX-GAME-MOVIE-/320399876385?cmd=ViewItem&pt=BI_Blank_Media&hash=item4a99522121).

The case feels thin, and I'm not crazy about the hubs, but it is pretty study despite the thiness, and hold the discs nice and secure. Can't say I'm unhappy with it. :D

[shinryu333]

as I mentioned before, I too hate slim designs. a lot of them lose their inserts (booklets) and other extras that the regular dvd size comes with. I can't stand owning a Gundam series from Anime Legends with just discs and one front/back cover art for the whole box or Fate Stay Night slim from Geneon which by the way I do own both. To have so little along with the discs is pretty much just as good as downloading it to watch and keep (illegal and not suggested).

the matter of fact is, to me, it feels incomplete. if your a collector like I am, you'd want as much goodies as possible and if you just want to own it, then I guess you could just go with the slim being its cheaper to buy or even go with cheapy imports.

again, this is just one man's opinion

[lilman]

Kannagi arrived today. The box is twice as thick as a standard dvd so I thought there might be some nice insert or little extra included... It's two standard dvd cases each with just the disc inside and nothing else (the cases even include the little holder thing like what games use for the manual, but there's nothing there). It's such a waste of space, Bandai easily could have fit both dvd's in a single standard case or used thinpacks.

All of the Funi stuff I've received recently has been thinpacks, I'm happy Funi knows the pain of storing a large anime collection.

[Razzuel]

Except, I should say... I'm not a fan of ancient/rural Japan animes... :-#

Wait! Moribito isn't set in ancient/rural Japan; Moribito is set in a fantasy world.

For $20, I'm willing to let that slide. I'll just replace the case.

Exactly. If anyone here doesn't buy it because of the packaging, then you should be ashamed of yourself.

Kannagi was first released as two separate DVDs. The complete collection just takes the two separate DVDs that Bandai already made, and puts them in a cardboard sleeve. It makes complete sense, since they can still use the DVDs they already have in stock, and it barely changes the manufacturing process.

[shinryu333]

I also read PeepoChoo Vol. 1, but did not enjoy it at all. It was definitely not my style. But many do like it

A bit of a dilemma. I want Morbito and free shipping (so I'd probably do 30 dollars worth of Blind Buys) But I've already done one order of Blind Buys, so I'd be concerned that I'd get duplicate stuff. I already emailed support and they can't promise that I wouldn't get duplicates. Anyone go back for seconds on the 5 and 10 dollar blind buys? How did it work out?

[Rave Child]

I agree I think the $10 and below blind boxes are better deals. I was somewhat happy with my $25 blind box, but not impressed with it.

Does anyone think that most of the the items sent for these blind boxes will eventually be showing up in the daily deals regularly?

Between myself and my roommate, I've ordered 8 $10 blind boxes on my account over 4 orders, and the only duplicate I got was two Abenobashi tins in the first two orders. Sadly those were in the 4 that were mine, but I've happily traded it away already at least. CAG, Goozex, or Amazon marketplace are your friends for duplicates or things you don't want.

Off topic, but how much is the first season of Yu-Gi-Oh worth? It's 6 discs, 49 episodes. I'm positive it's not a bootleg, just really old. I found it in a pawn shop. I can't find it on Ebay.

You can't find it on ebay because it's teh rarez. Here's the Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Yu-Gi-Oh-Complete-Season-Dan-Green/dp/B0000ZG0A4/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1280981671&sr=1-1) page, but who knows if anyone actually bought at those inflated prices.

[Friend of Sonic]

Wow! Why so much? The first listing on Amazon is missing a disc... next listing is 149.99 for used. :O

Also ordered Morbito. Good looks to whoever told posted that earlier.

EDIT: Apparently this Yu-Gi-Oh set came in a tin. I don't have the tin. =( I found ebay listings, looks like there's a BIN for 69.99. Still debating whether or not I should sell this. Are these episodes edited or are they the JP versions?

[Kirin Lemon]

Are these episodes edited or are they the JP versions?

Edited and dub-only.

[Friend of Sonic]

Might as well sell that shit. Thanks, Kirin.

[StarKnightX]

Well I took the suggestions from Raz and G-Nitro and got Chi's Sweet Home , 7 Billion Needles , Peepo Choo and Twin Spica , all Vol.1. I also grabbed Moribito which just put me over the $50 shipping amount.:)

As for Yugioh , I remember seeing that Season 1 tin set long ago for anywhere from $50-$100. Never got it since I didn't want to get an edited and dub only set (unless it was dirt cheap) but it still surprises me that 4kids would let almost anything yugioh go OOP (or not print much to start with). I guess because it was a "higher end" collector's set. Still have my 3 single uncut volumes from a few years ago , even though I know 4kids will never release the rest of the series uncut. :(

[G-Nitro]

For those wanting to check out Moribito before purchasing, Crunchy Roll just added the first 4 episodes to their site.

[the_punisher]

Damn you all, order placed:

Heat Guy J DVD Super Bargain Bundle- $20
Koi Kaze DVD Bargain Bundle- $15
Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit DVD Complete Collection- $20

Those are all pretty great deals, thank you guys. I'm also taking DuelLadyS's suggestion on that eBay case for Moribito.

Good thing Haruhi was delayed a month, I can't keep buying this much anime :P

[backseatdog]

those yugioh prices are ridiculous. I remember searching for them on ebay and was appalled at the prices lol.

Anyone on the fence with Moribito, you should go ahead and just get it. A very good series for sure.

Also anyone looking for cheap anime please "cml" right now. I'm selling a bunch in an auction that will end this sunday.

It sucks that CMX is now out of business. I've been meaning to buy the entire Emma collection, but now a couple of manga are not easy to find. I didn't even know manga volumes can be discontinued so quickly.

That's what happened to Alita: Last Order vol. 7, and now it's one of the rarest volumes to buy. Why is Viz not showing the love to re-stock their older volumes?

Why would you ever want to part with something so magnificent? ;)

You know, Razzuel, I don't like the way you've been yelling at everyone in this thread. And how your post made me want to buy Morbito, and now this.

Damn it, I'm probably going to get this. Any confirmations it is must own?

Aww, don't interpret it as yelling; I'm merely expressing my excitement.

Also, it is a must-own.

Oh okay, fair enough, although I must say I am not a fan of paying for shipping charges, so maybe I'll get more blind boxes? Although, paying 3.00 in shipping<buying 35 more dollars of anime?

EDIT: One simple solution is to buy Inuyasha season 7 for my GF. Picked it up at Walmart for 29.99+tax for her since I thought it was a good deal, but apparently is MSRP. I can save out on tax and use it as filler for shipping.

space. mecha anime takes top priority for me.

Damn! I bought Kurau when it was 30$

Sucks :/

but yeah, everyone get it!

[wormraper]

damn, if I had some stuff to get in order to rack up the price to get free shipping I'd snag it. But at the moment I've got the S.A.V.E. Edtion coming out in october pre-ordered for $15.63 including shipping and tax. Might as well hold out a few months for that one.

[Friend of Sonic]

What the hell... my order for Morbito didn't go through. I swear I ordered that and went to the end of checkout. Can it take a few days for my order to show up?

it can. I've had mine take about 2 days to show up everyonce in a while

Darn it! A back to school sale and school won't start until the end of the month for me.

[G-Nitro]

Still not buying Kurau. only because I don't have the money to right now... Spent way too much at Otakon. lol

[Devulture]

Well, a nice user PM'd me a site I've never heard of for manga sale. Too bad even that site is missing a volume or two on certain series.

Otakon was VERY draining on my wallet... But totally worth it. I'm really considering Kurau, but my Moribito order just shipped yesterday so I can't add it to that anymore. I'll look for something else to pad the order. Maybe Koi Kaze and some blind boxes...

You and me both.

Granted, the reason I'm not buying Kurau is just to spite Raz.

Spite. Spite. ;)

Confirmed, it's a pretty good show. $15 is an *amazing* price for Kurau.
