[Gden]

Well, I'm glad BEst buy was too lazy to get season 1 part two of Ouran now. ~$30 after discounts (including got anime) is much better than $42

[DuelLadyS]

Jumped right on to finish Wallflower, Ouran, and School Rumble.

Depending on next week's paycheck, I may also get Hell Girl, Tokyo Majin, and the first 2 volumes of Baccano. How is Baccano, anyway? My interest is based solely on the art of a single banner ad and that I keep confusing it with 'Bocca', the main character of Melody of Oblivion (a gulity-pleasure show for me.)

[saturnotaku]

$35.99 each for School Rumble Season 2...very tempting.

[Brian9824]

$35.99 each for School Rumble Season 2...very tempting.

$72 for a single 26 episode season is never very tempting in my book....

[saturnotaku]

$72 for a single 26 episode season is never very tempting in my book....

Hey, that's great. Really.

:roll:

[evilomar]

I jumped on the already cheap Dragon Ball Z season 7 and Yu Yu Hakusho season 1-3. I wish they would have a sale on Gunbuster and the Giant Robo Premium Eyeball set.

[YodaEXE]

I've got the Full Metal Panic Heavy Metal Collection pre-ordered (it's Full Metal Panic season 1 plus the FUMOFFU season), so I got excited when I saw that the TSR season was on sale. Ordered it for about $36 with free shipping. Makes me quite happy ^_^

EDIT: Just went back and was looking through things, and saw that the My Santa DVD was also in the sale, so I ordered that as well.

[ChibiJosh]

I'm tempted to order some DBZ sets finally especially since I want to make an order for some manga.

I jumped on the already cheap Dragon Ball Z season 7 and Yu Yu Hakusho season 1-3. I wish they would have a sale on Gunbuster and the Giant Robo Premium Eyeball set.

Do they even make the Giant Robo eyeball set anymore? I was lucky and got it for like $25 a few years back at Otakon straight from MB.

[StarKnightX]

Updated the list to include the Weekly Special Highlights , as well as to include prices on all listed items.

Any suggestions of things to add to the list/thread to make it better , feel free to mention it.:)

My interest is based solely on the art of a single banner ad and that I keep confusing it with 'Bocca', the main character of Melody of Oblivion (a gulity-pleasure show for me.)

I liked it a lot. Definitely worth it if you're spending money on something like Hell Girl...

[Rocko]

I was tempted to get all four seasons of Yu Yu Hakusho for about $75.

[DuelLadyS]

$72 for a single 26 episode season is never very tempting in my book....

Beats the $108 dollars a 26 episode season cost just a couple years ago- and that's assuming you didn't want an artbox.

I do get your point, though- if it's not something you really want, first release price never seem that 'worth it'.

I liked it a lot. Definitely worth it if you're spending money on something like Hell Girl...

That's where the 'may get' comes in. My mom liked Hell Girl when it was on demand, but we missed a couple episodes. Honestly though, I think I'll skip it- I really didn't like it that much. It wasn't bad, but it had a 'you've seen one, you've seen 'em all' kinda thing going on.

Baccano remains very likely, it's not a common era for anime to visit. Tokyo Majin is based on how much I get paid for- I've got some retro pay due, so...;)

[DarkZero104]

Baccano is goddamn AWESOME, definitely get it. The art, music, story, and characters are all top notch. Tokyo Majin is, more or less, a mini Shin Megami Tensei anime. To be exact, it's a series using a lot of mythological references based off of a PS1 visual novel, and its sequel continues that. Underrated, nice story and fight scenes, but it isn't tearing down barriers. Enjoyable however, if you have a solid attention span and don't mind stories that can (and will) go by fast.

[zewone]

FMA is coming up at $62.98. :cry:

You know, that's really funny. Because that's exactly what I thought of when I watched it. Too bad the second season of Tokyo Majin sucks. It's unfortunate the Persona anime didn't try as hard as Majin did.

Zewone, if the coupon code isn't taking your price off, you may as well just call them up and ask them about it. On the previous Rightstuf threads people were talking about how their telephone customer support is amazing.

I did get a chance to see an episode of Tokyo Majin on a Newtype sampler disc (before they went under :cry:)... I was honestly surprised by it, becuase I typically don't like horror-ish stuff, but it was good. Not good enough to buy singles for, but cheaper-boxset-good. I suppose I ended up benifiting from not getting the singles more than I realized. :)

For anyone who might have the artbox already, how many discs are in Baccano? It looks like there should be 4-5 based on episode count, but I'm curious to find out for sure.

[DarkSageRK]

It'll be four discs. Well, unless something stupid happens like them putting only two episodes on each DVD (Hi, Shigofumi!).

As a preorder, I'd be surprised if anyone had the box already.

[thespamofpower]

FMA is coming up at $62.98. :cry:
You need to use the coupon code. Its in the OP

[thelonepig]

One Piece sets 2 and 3, here I come! (next payday...)

[DuelLadyS]

Oh yeah, huh? This is what I get for posting first thing in the morning, half-asleep and trying to remember what I'm building for the kelflings today. :lol:

I doubt anyone's going to try the BVUSA thing again, seeing as they're already out-of-business for it...

Did Shigofumi get picked up again? I saw a preview of the first two episodes at a con last year, it was interesting. Not $60 for 2 episodes interesting, but interesting.

[DarkSageRK]

Heh.

I don't believe Shigofumi's been picked up, which is a damn shame. I absolutely loved that series. At first I thought it was gonna be like Hell Girl, but it got so much better after each episode. I highly recommend *ahem* acquiring it somehow.

Edit: Picked up by a company that's not going to die after only releasing only the first $40 two-episode, sub only DVD.

[ChibiJosh]

Bandai has it. They licensed it like a year ago when they picked up True Tears.

[nightmare452]

Thats it!!, In for One Piece Season 1, Parts 2, 3 and 4. Come to 29.99 each with the dossier coupon code. Sis has the anime membership so I can apply that too right??

[DuelLadyS]

Bandai has it. They licensed it like a year ago when they picked up True Tears.

Shigofumi and True Tears were actually originally picked up by Bandai Visual- tied to, but a different company than Bandai Entertainment. They attempted to bring Japanese-style pricing to the US market. Not surprisingly, nobody really bought into the $40 2-episode sub only disc thing and the company folded.

I think Bandai Entertainment absorbed some/all of the BV catalog into their Honnamise
label, but they haven't really announced any continuation of the titles, save for Haruka: Stream of Time. There's really no telling right now when or if these titles will be announced again, or if they'll sell them to another studio, or let the liscense rot.

As for acquiring Shigofumi 'elsewhere'... I have too much of a DVD backlog to really spend time with that. *shrugs*

Thats it!!, In for One Piece Season 1, Parts 2, 3 and 4. Come to 29.99 each with the dossier coupon code. Sis has the anime membership so I can apply that too right??

Got Anime is tied to the account it was bought with- you'd have to order via your sister's account to use the discount. (If you already share an account, problem solved.)

[StarKnightX]

Updated the sales and links for the weekly special items for this week.

[DuelLadyS]

I went ahead and bought Tokyo Majin and Baccano, along with the FF 12 soundtrack and Punie-chan from the weekly specials. Wasn't really planning on it, but my mom made me go play bingo with her yesterday... and I won $500. :D The BF was stunned.

[zenintrude]

several of those prices have changed... specifically the blu-rays.

[StarKnightX]

several of those prices have changed... specifically the blu-rays.

I assume that your talking about Afro Samurai and Shigurui? The sale prices on those won't show up when you follow the links. The prices will show up in the cart once you put in the sale coupon code.

Unless of course you mean that you tried to order them with the coupon code and they didn't come up on sale in which case you may want to contact Right Stuf about that if you haven't already.

[Morphine]

Ordered Shiguri, thanks op

[scarface333]

I just bought hell girl vols. 3-6 (#2 was OOS) for $5 each.:applause:

[StarKnightX]

Bump as a reminder that tonight may be the last night of the sale (website says both 1/18 and 1/19 as ending dates).

[ChibiJosh]

I hope a Viz sale comes up soon.

[YodaEXE]

I hope a Viz sale comes up soon.
What does Viz have? Anything good?

[thelonepig]

What does Viz have? Anything good?

Ranma 1/2, Maison Ikkoku, Naruto, Bleach, and Full Moon wo Sagashite come to mind.

[ChibiJosh]

What does Viz have? Anything good?

I just started a few manga series that I'd like to catch up on.

[StarKnightX]

I want to get the Bleach Manga boxset. I'd also like to get the Naruto manga boxset but right now all I'm really looking for is a few middle volumes.

Ended up ordering Yu Yu Hakusho Seasons 3 and 4 to complete the series for me. Also ended up ordering Wild ARMS Vol.1 , 3 , 4 and 5 to put my order over the $50 for free shipping. Any have a copy of Vol.2 they don't want?:D

[Kirin Lemon]

Full Moon wo Sagashite

So good, but they're never gonna finish it! ARRGH!!

[Gden]

So good, but they're never gonna finish it! ARRGH!!

Sad but true, last I checked they cancelled their licensing of it, like they did of Prince of Tennis, or maybe not cancelled, so much as said "we're never releasing any more" It didn't sell well, but if they had wanted it to, they should've sold it as 13 or 26 episode collections.

Companies have only figured out in recent months that collection > singles in terms of sales. Back when these first came out, you wouldn't have really considered it.

Email Viz every so often that you love the show and want to buy the whole thing. Considering the current fallout in the anime market, a boxset release of a show they already have must look more appealing than spending money on a new one- all they need is a reason to believe people will buy it.

(That reminds me, I should pop off something about Honey and Clover one of these days.)

[ChibiJosh]

There's a DC comics sale up, ends on Wednesday. Doesn't seem to be anything good.

[StarKnightX]

There's a DC comics sale up, ends on Wednesday. Doesn't seem to be anything good.

Yeah , I've learned that , especially on the Monday-Wednesday 3 days sales , that its safer to check the website for the new sale then to wait for the email about the sale to arrive (doesn't help much on a 3-day sale for the email to arrive on Wednesday:bomb:.)

OP has been updated with the new sale and coupon code. As well as all featured items for the sale listed. Also a note about the sale prices and coupon code has been added to hopefully avoid any more confusion about the prices listed on the items through the links.

Maybe you should make it a different color to make it stand out a little better because the people who are getting confused obviously only look at the deals.

I'm always open to suggestions about ways to make the thread better or easier to use , but I'm not sure I follow what your suggesting.:dunce:

Do you mean that , say , instead of this:
:arrow:Fire Investigator Nanase GN 1 $6.66 (http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/T0S5S75WAOtSwC3Kam/browse/item/81133/4/0/0)

No, no. I mean make the statement about having to use the coupon code a different color because the people that come in here saying "the prices have gone back up" are obviously not actually reading the thread anyway and just clicking on the links.
Something like:


Links to all the featured sale items will NOT show the sale price. Sale prices will only be shown in checkout once the appropriate coupon code has been entered (exception being the Weekly Special Items , which are already set at that sale price).

[StarKnightX]

No, no. I mean make the statement about having to use the coupon code a different color because the people that come in here saying "the prices have gone back up" are obviously not actually reading the thread anyway and just clicking on the links.
Something like:

Ah ok , when I read your post I wasn't sure if thats what you meant or what I had said. Done and done. If someone objects to red I can easily change the color.;) Also added an example note about the prices to make it even easier.

[lwelyk]

fail sale is fail. : /

[StarKnightX]

Not that anyone really cares , but todays the last day to get anything from the DC comics sale. Of course today is also the last day to get anything from the weekly specials as well , but most everyone who's following this thread probably already knows that.;)

[nightmare452]

Can't really say I care much for the DC comics. But am looking forward to see if tomorrow there is a sale. Thanks StarknightX. Good work on the thread actually, got the One Piece Season 1, part 2, 3 and 4 (I mentioned it about a week ago).

Thanks for the kind words.:D Putting the whole thing together initially was a bit time consuming to type in all the vbcode and making sure the links were right and all that , but now that everything is all set up , it makes it much easier to just plug in all the new info into the old vbcode format.

As I mentioned before I'm always open to suggestions on ways to make the thread better looking , easier to use , whatever.

As for whether there is a sale tomorrow , I don't think Right Stuf ever DOESN'T have a sale. It's just more of a question of whether the sale is good or not. General the 3-4 day sales are less impressive than the 7+ day sales , but a lot of that mostly is due to the size of the companies that get featured.

[nightmare452]

Still, good work. I check almost everyday if something new is posted, this is the only movie related thread I check on an average basis, before it was kinda up and down, especially anime deals.

[StarKnightX]

Still, good work. I check almost everyday if something new is posted, this is the only movie related thread I check on an average basis, before it was kinda up and down, especially anime deals.

It's a generally safe bet that the only days the thread will really be updated are Thursdays and Mondays. Thursdays for the new weekly sale items , as well as possibly new coupon deals. Monday will be the other day that new coupon deals usually go up. As I'm sure you've already noticed though , if the thread does get updated , or a notice needs to be posted , I'll bump the thread to let everyone know.

[DuelLadyS]

Not much in the ADV sale I want, I'll probably have to get something from the weekly specials to pad out to free shipping. It's kind of a good thing- that full-time postion I finally got promoted to in November? Found out yesterday our store's being downgraded and it's getting eliminated. End of Febuary, I'm forced back to part time. I need to find a new job, I'm sick of being stuck in a company that won't even give me full-time hours, let alone a chance for advancement.

[DarkSageRK]

FMP seasons 1 and 2 for $54 would be tempting if I hadn't already bought Fumoffu for $24. >.<

[YodaEXE]

FMP seasons 1 and 2 for $54 would be tempting if I hadn't already bought Fumoffu for $24. >.<
I'm a little annoyed as I just spent $10 more for it. But, it's not too bad, because FMP is my favorite anime, so I'm willing to have spent the extra $10. Also, the DVD set for season 1 and 2 isn't supposed to be out til Feb 10, but I already have tracking info for the copy I ordered.

[StarKnightX]

Updated the thread with the new coupon code and new featured sale items. I have NOT updated the featured Weekly Specials because I have not received the email about them yet :( As soon as I do that will be updated as well.

[Gden]

I'm seriously tempted to get Princess Tutu for that price, and Ghost Stories

Again, I'd like to point out for everyone that PRINCESS TUTU IS SO FUCKING GOOD!!

Hell yes it is!

[Dead of Knight]

Anyone see Pet Shop of Horrors? I loved the manga so I'm interested.

[StarKnightX]

Finally got the email so the weekly special highlights have been updated as well.

So as not to let this seem like just a pointless bump , I'll also mention how excited I am , because the right stuf email also mentioned that they are finally taking pre-orders for Mysterious Cities of Gold Complete Collection on dvd.:whee:

[Grico]

I will probably be pre-ordering Clannad at that price. With Best Buy spotty on new anime lately its not worth waiting to see if it ever comes up on the website and if it ever is going to come to stores. Which is annoying since i have reward zone money to spend. and to concur Princess Tutu is great. Its a weird little series about fairy tales and the mechanics of story telling that make for great conflict and strife between characters and the "roles" they are given and the destinies such roles seem to inexplicably lead them to. And ah well, lots of classical music and ballet. If you like point one or point 2 you should get it certainly.

Yeah cities of gold! I saw that was being released and IMed any friends I could think of. None of them actually remembered it, sadly. At 37 ish for the whole series i will be almost certainly picking it up at some point

Also want to get Clannad Collection!

I need some MONEY. X_X :cry:

[Kapwanil]

Anyone see Pet Shop of Horrors? I loved the manga so I'm interested.

I enjoyed it, but I felt the manga was better. It's fine by itself since it picks some of the more interesting chapters as material, but then again I did start with the anime and then run all the way through the manga. What a rush!

[Grico]

Oh for anyone looking for filler to get the free shipping, the nuku nuku graphic novel is in the bargain bin for only $1.

You gotta finish the Key anime series, they are great. I have both of those boxes and they really are great looking boxes. And for Clannad they won't charge you until it ships in March, so its a future expense, not a current one. At least that is what I told myself when I just ordered it.

[Frag Rev]

Definately getting Clannad. It's a great series and for that price, it's a complete steal even with shipping included. MSRP is normally $40.

It's from the creators of Kanon and Air TV (Both great series'). I recommend this series to anyone wanting a good innocent series that makes you laugh.

[thelonepig]

This sale would have been better three or four years ago. ADV has been in a downward spiral ever since they announced the live action Evangelion movie...

Or maybe I'm just bitter that they picked up the rights to Violinist of Hameln and then tabled the series.

[Gden]

I know the show is great, I've seen both shows already, I just haven't had the money to buy either show (and they came out at a bad time so ADV didn't send out copies of it to any retailer like best buy)

[evilomar]

Or maybe I'm just bitter that they picked up the rights to Violinist of Hameln and then tabled the series.

Did they license the anime and manga. Because the least they could have done is release the manga.

Did I hear someone metion Mysterious Cities of Gold!!!!?

[StarKnightX]

Did I hear someone metion Mysterious Cities of Gold!!!!?

Yep. Comes in two flavors , regular or deluxe edition:

RE: Clannad ( Note: Clannad is SUBTITLE only. There is NO English dub. )

Unfortunately from a dub fan's standpoint, it's a complete waste of money to pick up Clannad. The lack of dub makes the decision so much easier; No dub, No purchase.

Dude its never going to get dubbed, so if the choice is subbed Clannad or no Clannad, I'd take subbed Clannad in a second. Preferences between dub and sub are one thing, but some series are worth getting in whatever format they release it in.

[strawberryshortcake]

Correction: I thought FUNimation has Clannad, but ADV has Clannad. Apologies, thanks to DuelLadyS (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/member.php?u=26791). Then hopefully ADV films will quickly lose the rights to Clannad so that FUNimation can pick it up and give it an appropriate dub. I have no idea why I thought FUNimation had Clannad. Maybe because ADV films was simply re-releasing a slew of their old titles.

Basically everything said below is before DuelLadyS (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/member.php?u=26791) made the correction.

Edits made where I could. *[*edit: ADV films has Clannad] :( Sad face because if FUNimation actually had Clannad, the chance of it getting dub would have been SO MUCH better, seeing as how FUNimation releases titles with both DUBs and SUBs. *

Not if preference is watching anime dubbed. Not if someone who doesn't watch subtitles. Not if buying a subtitle product simply means it'll stay factory sealed, collecting dust.

If sales are miserable for subtitle Clannad, the idea of getting it dubbed down the line absolutely dwindles. Yes, subtitled only releases has a smaller target audience. Releasing Clannad by manufacturer "X" also dwindles the chance of seeing a second manufacturer take hold of it that may have wanted to give it a full blown dubbed treatment. The fact that FUNimation [*edit: ADV films has Clannad]is going to release Clannad sub, shatters the thought of another company possibly giving Clannad the dub treatment. FUNimation [*edit: ADV films has Clannad] has licensed Clannad, meaning no other manufacturer currently has the right to release Clannad for region 1 territory.

There are probably a handful or plenty of past anime releases that were never meant to be dubbed, but received dubbed treatment anyway. Never say never. Here's hoping that Clannad may eventually get a dub down the line. Yeah, here's hoping. No one thought the Dallas Cowboys would get massacred by the Philadelphia during the final stretch of the regular NFL season, but things happen. Most people never thought we would ever see an African American become president. Things happen.

Niche titles such as Kanon and Air TV both received dubbed treatment. ADV films turmoil probably wasn't solely due to these releases; their downfall was due to various reasons. But being the giant FUNimation is [*edit: ADV films has Clannad], plus the fact that it appears fans of Kanon/Air TV consider Clannad to be the better of the three Kyoto Animations, giving Clannad a proper dub treatment isn't far fetched despite its "niche."

Sure economics and financial analysis dictates how something gets released. But this doesn't mean all niche titles, past or present, will receive subtitles only. A dub may have been possible if FUNimation [*edit: ADV films has Clannad] would have simply postponed this release.

Proper marketing can sell anything. Dub Clannad and market it like no other.

**********
With respect to ADV film's sale, want but probably won't pull the trigger due to budget constraints
1. Red Garden Vol 1 2 3 4 5 (supporting ADV singles rather than FUNimation set)
2. Pumpkin Scissors Vol 1 2 3 4 5 (supporting ADV singles rather than FUNimation set)
3. Kanon Volume 1 2 3
4. Air TV Volume 1 2 3 4

Umm... ADV has Clannad, not Funi.

I believe that ADV would have liked to dub Clannad, but their recent failing simply made them unable to afford it. I also like to imagine that, if it does well, we could see a 'deluxe' boxset later with a dub, most likely featuring Vic Mignogna in some way. :lol:

'Course, I agree with your reasoning for not buying it anyway. Understanding the whole economics and such behind it doesn't change the fact that you don't like subs- and that's all the reason you need.

[Ecofreak]

I'll probably pick up Clannad and Kino's Journey, as I heard good things about that series. How is Fate/Stay Night?

I'm sad that ADV has had so much trouble, and now lots of their classic titles are out of stock. I never got Mothra, darn it! Had to order the adult version of Dragon Knight Wheel of Time used from Secondspin.com. ADV was located an hour from where I live and sent everyone who bought one of their early VHS tapes a Christmas card drawn by Lorraine Reyes in their first year.

Oh, and Mysterious Cities of Gold is awesome! It looks like you only get special features if you buy the deluxe version. I'm all over it though - gotta see those deleted scenes. Did you guys know that the series was loosely based on a book? It's $7 at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Kings-Fifth-Scott-ODell/dp/0618747834/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232796911&sr=8-1

Haha, oh man, I forgot all about Guy: Double Target. It might be the worst thing ADV has ever released.

[eastx]

Why do you say that? I think it has a lot more heart than most modern hentai titles, great art by AIC, and a catchy theme song to boot. ADV has released Legend of the Mystical Ninja (which I enjoy but I realize is pretty bad) and the American Mega Man and Street Fighter cartoons, you know.

[Frag Rev]

Unfortunately from a dub fan's standpoint, it's a complete waste of money to pick up Clannad. The lack of dub makes the decision so much easier; No dub, No purchase.

Oh wait..it really isn't dubbed? We're absolutely sure about it? If so, I'm not sure I'll pick this up yet then. I like being able to have the show running without having to look at it for subtitles, I can just hear it in the background whenever; which is why I prefer it to be dubbed.

Hm, that might change my opinion on it. I already have DVDs of it with subtitles; I don't really need another.

[jererjerer]

what's this deal about ADV? are they having problem as a company (like financial and stuff) or they just have a worse and worse selection of titles by day?

[Grico]

what's this deal about ADV? are they having problem as a company (like financial and stuff) or they just have a worse and worse selection of titles by day?

Yes they have been having major financial and business problems for about last year. They lost a bunch of their licenses when they had a falling out with a Japanese backer/licenser. They are slowly coming out of it, so their slate is certainly reduced compared to the past.

[StarKnightX]

The American Mega Man cartoon is pretty bad. If I could get it for really cheap I might pick it up just to watch it for how bad it is. I remember watching it as a kid and liked it even though I could tell it was corny even back then. Nostalgia can't protect this show for me.

Highlight of the show that I can remember is once when Roll helped Mega Man defeat Cut Man by turning her arm into a toaster and shot electrified toast and him , which destroyed him.:lol:

[the_punisher]

Weekly highlights change today?

[StarKnightX]

Weekly highlights change today?

You read my mind. Unfortunately I have yet to receive the weekly sales email (as was the case last week , and most likely the case most weeks). If I receive it before 12:30 , I'll update it before I go to work , otherwise it won't be updated until after 11pm tonight.

[DuelLadyS]

Weekly highlights change today?

That they do, but it takes them a while to get everything set up. Try this afternoon or early tomorrow.

Personally, I wish they'd be quicker about it... it kinds of sucks when the studio sale changes to something good, but you have to wait all day to check the weekly specials update.

[StarKnightX]

Weekly Special Highlights have been updated. Although I'll usually don't make recommendations towards purchases (mostly because I haven't seen THAT much anime to make many recommendations) I will say that if your looking to spend $30 this week , get Berzerk over Scryed.

[DarkSageRK]

Berserk < s-CRY-ed

Gankutsuo is $6/DVD. They were selling it at $10 per before.

[Kirin Lemon]

Berserk < s-CRY-ed

FIBBER! Few things are worse than s-CRY-ed. Berserk isn't one of them.

[DarkSageRK]

s-CRY-ed was entertaining, and I could easily name hundreds of shows worse than it. :/

Everyone used to hate the Berserk anime. Why the love now?

[the_punisher]

I personally loved the Berserk anime, and that price is worth it to me.

As for s-cry-ed, wasn't it $3 cheaper yesterday?

s-CRY-ed was entertaining, and I could easily name hundreds of shows worse than it. :/

I can agree that Scryed was entertaining , but it wasn't a great show by any means.

Since when was everyone hating on Berserk?

As for s-cry-ed, wasn't it $3 cheaper yesterday?

Wish I could give you a definite answer , But I don't think it was.

[DarkSageRK]

Since when was everyone hating on Berserk?

Since it aired? I'm not talking about here on CAG. I'm talking about the general anime community.

[argyle]

I'm not sure that I'd want to see it again, because I just don't think it would hold up to my memories of it....but I will say that Cities of Gold theme song has been stuck in my head for easily 15+ years now.

Gankutsuou is being rereleased by Funi in a boxset.

I just got a chance to look over the weekly specials and have to say, forget Scryed and Berserk - Legend of Black Heaven is a steal for $30.

3/4 DVD's are $11 total, wish they had the fourth =/

Yeah. The fourth isn't available on ebay currently, but there are a few used available on Amazon for just under $10 shipped. At that point I'd rather just get the box set... tempting. I haven't seen the series since it came out and, sadly, didn't get to finish it.

Anyone care to comment on how it's held up?

[bigl523]

Super dimension macross complete collection thinpak for $54 shipped is tempting. I have a feeling that I'll see it even cheaper in a couple of years (or even on blu-ray!).

Anyone care to comment on how it's held up?

It's been awhile since I've seen it myself... but I think, if you're the sort of person who can watch it and take the serious parts as such, you'll be satisfied with the ending.

Production-wise, it's not worth noting. However, if you were watching it when it came out, it's not like an 'older' looking show is going to bother you anyway. Actually, I think it fares a bit better then other shows of the same age, because of the nonstandard artstyle.

[Hyrule Crusader]

Had to pick up s-cry-ed box set. That's an awesome deal :)

[StarKnightX]

Bumping the thread to remind everyone that today is the last day to get in any orders for the ADV sale items.

[Kirin Lemon]

For the love of god, people, ORDER PRINCESS TUTU!!

Especially since ADV seems to be on the brink of collapse lately...

[DarkSageRK]

Ballet isn't manly enough for me. Sorry. :(

[thelonepig]

Based solely on KL's recommendation, I got Princess Tutu from Netflix. I figured for someone that is so critical of the majority of anime, something that is so heavily recommended ought to be good.

That said, does it get better after the first disc? I wasn't really impressed.

Yes, loads and loads better, though I still enjoy the first disc quite a bit. The tone of the show gets far, far darker after the first five or so episodes.

Ballet isn't manly enough for me. Sorry. :(

The ballet theme is used very skillfully in the show, but that's not what it's about. It's a dark fairy tale, and an awesome one at that. One of the main characters almost gets his hands chopped off, his family is killed by ravens, and his friend challenges him to cut out his heart, if that makes it any cooler for you.

[GuilewasNK]

All I wanted was Kaleido Star volume 3 and 4, but I never saw 4 in stock.

[ChibiJosh]

Seven Seas Entertainment sale - 33% off until 2/4

[eastx]

Ballet isn't manly enough for me. Sorry. :(

And apparently Guy: Double Target was too manly for Kirin, not that he/she would actually post reasons to back up his/her opinion. Fruity.

[StarKnightX]

A late update tonight , as well as an unusually short coupon (only 2 days). Thanks again to ChibiJosh for getting the word out on the coupon before I could update the thread. Didn't expect it to be so late tonight though. Tetragrammatron Labyrinth wins a special award for being the biggest mouthful to say and type.:lol:8-)

Also added a list of previous coupon sales , so maybe we can see if there's any kind of pattern to them , as well as so people can see what they might have previously missed.;) 2 questions for everyone though.
1. Should the previous sale listings go in chronological order (oldest sale at top going down) or reverse chronological order (most resent at top)?

2. Should I also include the featured items that went along with the sale or just list the sales themselves?

For once I'm also looking for opinions on some of the items on sale. Anyone know if Kashimashi or Aoi House are any good?

[ChibiJosh]

I was actually thinking of suggesting we keep track of previous sales. I think you should keep the format just the way it is (don't add the featured items or anything), but it might be better to go reverse chronological.

[Dead of Knight]

My boyfriend liked Kashimashi, for what it's worth. Plus it's about lesbians.

[StarKnightX]

My boyfriend liked Kashimashi, for what it's worth. Plus it's about lesbians.

Its kinda easy to figure a story is going to be about lesbians when one of the main plot elements is a boy "reborn" as a girl. Although the story being about lesbians isn't the chief reason I'm interested in it (or maybe it is depending on your point of view. I don't see it that way).

The insight is appreciated.

[Chibi_Kaji]

I was hoping for a something else... I already have most of the the I want from Seven Seas.

My boyfriend liked Kashimashi, for what it's worth. Plus it's about lesbians.
I enjoyed most of Kashimashi. But the last few chapters could have been a little better(But it still ended much better then the anime). As for Aoi House I liked it at first but lost interest by the end of the first book. But if you want to check it out before buying you can find the comic online. And Ballad of the Shinigami is a pretty nice read but it can a little depressing a times(But hey it's a book about a Shinigami). So if your interested in reading a light novel you could give that a shot as well.

[Grico]

My boyfriend liked Kashimashi, for what it's worth. Plus it's about lesbians.

The manga from what I read is pretty good.

The anime is on weekly sale for 17.99.

It's a really enjoyable romance series, with lesbians if that helps you want it (it helped me want it a bit certaintly). It is subbed only, fair warning for the dubbies, like all of Mediablasters yuri fan line (which has been uniformly enjoyable ranging from great [Simoun] to enjoyable enough [Otobuku[)

Most recent at the top would make the most sense.

You can list the featured items, but if you think that there are other good deals out there in the sale (Elfen Lied was $6/dvd) or just in general (My-Hime for example), you should list those too :).

As for the sale, i don't read manga. I did order from the previous sale:

Elfen Lied 1-4
My-Hime 1-5, 7 (6 is still sold out, and i missed Sin for $7)
Le Chevalier d'Eon Vol. 2 (for the art box)


Also, as for Princess Tutu, the fact that fights end in dancing turned me off. Also, it's no longer on sale.

[Chibi_Kaji]

Grico: Starknight is asking about the manga. The Sale is on Seven Sea titles.

[StarKnightX]

I was hoping for a something else... I already have most of the the I want from Seven Seas.

So if your interested in reading a light novel you could give that a shot as well.

I always forget that a lot (most) of these mangas can be read online , so that I can preview before buying.

I was going to comment about how its the manga thats on sale , not the anime , but you edited your post before I could.;)

In any case thats also something to keep in mind if I end up checking out the manga and liking it.

Most recent at the top would make the most sense.

You can list the featured items, but if you think that there are other good deals out there in the sale (Elfen Lied was $6/dvd) or just in general (My-Hime for example), you should list those too :).

MyHime 1-5, 7 (6 is still sold out, and i missed Sin for $7)
Le Chevalier d'Eon Vol. 2 (for the art box)

You kinda misunderstood the part of the question about listing the featured items. I was mainly referring to keeping the featured items listed in the past sale section.

As for listing stuff besides the featured sale items , I don't have a problem with that , but I'm going to need some help in that regard. For example you mentioned Elfen Lied at $6/dvd. If you think thats a good deal , post it in the thread and I can add that to the OP. I just really don't have the time to go through ALL the stuff that Right Stuf puts on sale or has on sale every day/week to find all the deals. All I can do is highlight the main stuff and add other things as they come up.

Bottom line , if you find something not featured in the coupon deals , weekly specials , or from the bargain bin , that isn't listed in the OP , and feel its a deal worth noting , let me know and I can put it up for everyone else to see.

[Chibi_Kaji]

Well you can read Aoi House online legally since it was originally a webcomic. ;)

Yeah, that's mostly what i meant. I wasn't expecting you to go through every single sale (unless you want to of course ;)).

Also, you talked about EL like it wasn't a good deal. =/

I also ordered My-Hime Vol. 6 today, came back in stock after around a week, but i had to bite the extra $3 for shipping. Oh well.

[StarKnightX]

Also, you talked about EL like it wasn't a good deal. =/

Sorry if it came out that way. I've never seen the show so I can't really comment on its quality nor whether $6/dvd is a good deal for it or not.

Since I checked and Elfen Lied is still in the bargain bin at the same listed price , I went ahead and made a new sub-section for other notable deals and added it in there.

[ChibiJosh]

Viz sale! Horray! Manga, here I come.

[eastx]

Man, Viz has lots of great titles.

Does anyone know if the Bleach DVD sets are thinkpaks?

[the_punisher]

The slae is pretty underwhelming. I'm mostly looking for anime, but everything is pretty highly priced. Some standouts:

Bleach Box Set 1: $30
Prince of Tennis Box Sets 1-4: $24 each


I head Prince of Tennis was really good, so i was debating that, but there's a couple downers. For once, each box set is only 13 episodes. Another thing, these only cover the first 50 episodes. There are 178 total, and the rest haven't even been released in the US =/.

[thelonepig]

Bleach Season 1 is $27.99 w/ free shipping on Amazon:

I think so- the one at Wal-mart today looked like a thinpak, anyway.

Out of all the Viz titles I'm collecting, there's 1- excactly 1- volume I don't own/have pre-ordered. :cry:

[hiamiyumi]

I hate Viz anime. How can they stop releasing Hikaru No Go after Vol.11?

[StarKnightX]

Thread has been updated with the new coupon sale and new weekly specials.

Bleach Season 1 is $27.99 w/ free shipping on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Bleach-Uncut-Season1-Box-Standard/dp/B0015XHQUS

It should be noted that the price of Bleach itself is pretty much the same at Amazon and Right Stuf (with coupon code) , the main thing is shipping. If your not planning on getting enough items at Right Stuf to get free shipping then Amazon is the better deal.

[Grico]

Hmm, I got a shipping confirmation email for Clannad Collection. Not sure how that is possible based on the release date in March, but it would be awesome to get it soon.

[GuilewasNK]

Time for me to buy what they have left of Maison Ikkoku!

[pete5883]

I have a lot of manga to catch up on. Slam Dunk 3-5, Monster 12-18, gotta start 20th Century Boys, and I have to try Pluto.

[Chibi_Kaji]

Hmm, I got a shipping confirmation email for Clannad Collection. Not sure how that is possible based on the release date in March, but it would be awesome to get it soon.
Right stuff ships things pretty early once in a while. I recall getting Vandread and Maria Watches Over Us Season 2(But I think they might have shipped Pre-orders early for that release) atleast a month before then the release date.

There isn't much I want to buy right now. I think I'll atleast pre-order Black Lagoon vol 4-7. I was toying with the idea of get some Ranma or Maison Ikkoku but I'm short on cash.

[nightmare452]

I hate Viz anime. How can they stop releasing Hikaru No Go after Vol.11?

Agreed. Love Hikaru No Go, shame they stopped it.

[B:L]

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor OVA set (http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/Z-68JyYFZyM5fi2Bhr/browse/item/67635/4/153/100) for $24.99 seems like a pretty good weekly deal as well.

[Kirin Lemon]

And apparently Guy: Double Target was too manly for Kirin, not that he/she would actually post reasons to back up his/her opinion. Fruity.

Sorry, I somehow missed your post earlier. Here are my three main reasons for hating on Guy:

1. I hate hentai.

2. I'm gay.

3. Hentai sucks.

There. Can we be friends again? :D

Actually those are all bad reasons that fail to judge the show on its own merits, but I'll half forgive you since you responded! :)

[StarKnightX]

Bump to remind everyone that today is the last day to get any items from this weeks weekly specials. Also to get the thread back on the 1st page since it just moved back to page 2 :(

[PoisenXcstasy]

i have a whole list of things to get theree b4 March 16th. Alot of ADV dvds i need to get! I can aswell finish my series in just 1 shot at shopping. Like My Hime, Venus Versus Virus, Ai Yori Aoshi, Chrono Crusade. Many more iim thinking about spending $250+ on anime in 3weeks or so. Saving up!

[the_punisher]

Didn't see too much in the weekly sales. Yu Yu Hakusho is still $20 a season which i guess isn't bad.

The only other thing i saw was that Zone of the Enders DVD Collection (Hyb) (Thinpak) is $20. Not sure how good/bad the show is, but i heard it was pretty good, and it does look relatively cheap. Anyone watch it?

[Darth Mallrat]

Wow, that's an awesome deal on the Vandread box set in the weekly specials. In for 1.

[StarKnightX]

Despite being home all day yesterday , I never got around to updating the weekly specials (Got busy catching up on other things around the house). They have been updated now. Also added some more things in the "other sale items" section.

I went ahead and added the username of the person who made the suggestion to have that title added to the "other sale items" section. I wasn't sure whether anyone would think this is a good idea or not though. If nobody likes it I can get rid of it. The only problem I have with it is it makes the listings a bit crowded. Maybe colorize them so that the title/price/username don't all blend together?

I have the whole ZOE series (picked up in individual volumes from the Right Stuf bargain bin some time ago) but have only watched the ova , not the series. If you liked the games it's still supposed to be recommended to watch the anime since it ties into the events of the games.

Only other comment I can really make is in regards to the package itself. The thinpak collection doesn't come with any of the extras of the individual releases (which is normal for a ADV title). If this doesn't bother you then I would say the thinpak collection is a good deal.

Wow, that's an awesome deal on the Vandread box set in the weekly specials. In for 1.

Went ahead and added it to the "other specials" list.

[pete5883]

Everyone is buying Slam Dunk, right? 8-)

[GogetaSS4]

If I wasn't so stinkin broke I'd so be in for one of the Vandread Boxset's.

[GenDV138]

Thanks for the heads up on the Vandread box set, pretty nice deal! Also picked up Bleach season one and the two Oh My Goddess! OVAs.

Jinki: Extend DVD Complete Collection is the first deal of the day for today, and it looks like they're actually paying you if you take it, it shows up as $-1.75 for me. Don't know if it's any good, but if you plan to order some stuff today, it'll save you a little bit off your order, haha.

[ya0]

noooo missed oout on gungrave DAMMNIT!!1o1ne!!111

o well picked up death note 7-9 with figurines

[ChibiJosh]

Everyone is buying Slam Dunk, right? 8-)

I picked up Slam Dunk 1 and 2 in my second order. I bought 22 volumes of manga.

[StarKnightX]

Netcomics sale started today. I'll try to get the OP edited either late tonight or early tomorrow.

For anyone that missed the end of the VIZ , I partly apologize. I was going to bump the thread last night as a reminder , but it said the coupon code would go through midnight tonight (maybe it still will?).

In any case for future note (for myself and anyone else) always assume that a coupon sale will end on a Sunday or a Wednesday.

[G33]

For anyone that missed the end of the VIZ , I partly apologize. I was going to bump the thread last night as a reminder , but it said the coupon code would go through midnight tonight (maybe it still will?).

It is still valid through today. This is the third sale in a row that they've done this for (1st was a typo, 2nd was for superbowl weekend), so it remains to be seen if this will become a trend or not.

[StarKnightX]

It is still valid through today. This is the third sale in a row that they've done this for (1st was a typo, 2nd was for superbowl weekend), so it remains to be seen if this will become a trend or not.

Well that's reassuring , for me since it's annoying to list a sale running a certain date only for them to end it earlier , and for others I'm sure since it makes it harder to know when they have to get their orders in by.

FYI , I don't plan on updating the thread for the netcomics sale (completely).I will still copypasta the sale info link into the thread and change the title listing to prevent any confusion , but I don't have the time ATM to update the OP when the sale will go off tomorrow , and have to redo it again thursday. I will update the thread appropriately for thursdays sale.

On that note , does anyone have any comments/suggestions about the title zero/six? It's part of the netcomics sale and it seems kinda interesting for reasons I can't completly figure out.

[ChibiJosh]

Geneon sale, by the way, until March 2nd.

[StarKnightX]

FINALLY got around to updating the OP. Sorry for the wait everyone , been a bit of a busy week for me.

Of note on the weekly specials , there appears to be a bunch of stuff left over from the Funimation sale (One Piece , Yu Yu Hakusho) as well as stuff from the last few weekly specials (Noien , Zone of the Enders) so if you're interested in picking up any of those you've got another week.

Also of note , for those of that interest and persuasion , there appears to be a lot of adult titles on sale this week.;)

[StarKnightX]

Reminder that since its wednesday , its your last day to order anything from the weekly specials this week.

[Chibi_Kaji]

I'm tempted to order the last 2 volumes of Black Lagoon.

[StarKnightX]

Weekly Specials have been updated.

[StarKnightX]

Sunday reminder that although the last few sales have run through monday (this week again says so on the coupon code) today and (hopefully) tomorrow are your last days to order anything from the Geneon sale.

[Gden]

If anyone cares, the sale is now digital manga publishing til the 4th

[Friend of Sonic]

Sonic X season 5 and 6 are 3.00 a piece. o_O That's pretty cheap. They also have 1/3 of the first season (one of the "sagas") for 3.00 as well. That's super cheap. I wish they had the other two parts, I'd be tempted to order the entire Sonic X series for 15.00+ shipping.

[Hibiwa]

I wanted to give thanks to the OP and this thread for introducing me to the existence of Right Stuf.

May want to add Mushi-Shi as a notable "Bargain Bin" item for $5 each volume (1-6). #1 is currently sold out, but it did come back once already.

Too bad they don't have the starter set with the box, but it's still a great deal for those who want to complete their collection, or for those (like me) who don't care for the condensed thinpak set.

[the_punisher]

Mushishi at $5 sounds like a good deal.

I got Death Note up to Vol. 8 from BB, and they have Vol. 9 w/ figure for $25, so i may order that and Yu Yu Hakusho Vol. 4 for another $20 to complete the collection.

A new sale is up as well, but no anime =/.

[Hibiwa]

Still plenty of sale priced DVDs in the Bargain Bin though.

Speaking of Death Note w/ figures, FYE.com has some of those as part of their Buy 1 Anime Get 1 offer. Can come out to cheaper than Right Stuf if you can find equally priced items.

[StarKnightX]

Very Late Update to the thread. Right Stuf isn't helping me much as I didn't even receive the weekly update and coupon sale emails until like early saturday. On top of that , I never even received the one from the digital manga publishing sale , which is partly the reason I didn't update the thread for it (I know I could've just gone to the site and checked there but it makes it easier to remember to update when I get the email).

In any case , the coupon sale and items have been updated , as have the weekly specials.

If anyone cares, the sale is now digital manga publishing til the 4th

Do you (or anyone else for that matter) happen to still have the email or remember what the percentage off on that sale was so that I can add it to the OP in the past sale section?

Sonic X deal has been noted and added to the OP. I was trying to hold off on buying Sonic X , since I didn't really want to support the 4kids version of the show in the (admittably slim) chance that an uncut version of the show might be released. Since that seems hopeless at this point , I might as well get the show really cheap at least.

Of course, I placed an order for Your and My Secret 4 (a Tokyopop title) the day before this sale. Ah well...

[the_punisher]

On a sidenote, how is the Haruhi graphic novel?

Same thing i'm doing, hoping for a good sale. For free shipping, i was thinking of getting the second death note live-action (i got the entire series at the BB 50% off sale). Anyone think it's worth $15? Any other filler ideas?

Didja see/own the first one? If you did, and you liked it, then sure. Movies 1 and 2 are a direct connection to each other, you need both for the whole story.

Own it, haven't watched it. I'm waiting to watch death note first, are the movies sequels or remakes?

[Chibi_Kaji]

Meh, it's a sale on Yaoi Press titles. I was really hoping for a Bandai Sale today. I wanted to get some Code Geass(finish up the anime and catch up on the novels and manga) stuff and pre-order Gundam 00 part 1(probably the LE). But this current sale is only for 2 days... so maybe next time.

[StarKnightX]

As has already been mentioned , Yaoi Press titles are on sale for the next 3 days. Just when I thought we couldn't get a 3 day sale that even less people here are probably interested in.:lol:

To make up for it though , they have a lot more weekly special items on sale then usual , and the weekly specials are going to run extra long until NEXT thursday (2 weeks , if I had actually updated those on time).

I believe that theres a Code Geass manga in the weekly sale items this week. Can't recall exactly though.

[DuelLadyS]

Own it, haven't watched it. I'm waiting to watch death note first, are the movies sequels or remakes?

They're heavily watered-down remakes, putting the first half or so of the anime into about 4 1/2 hours worth of flim. (The whole Near/Mellow thing is cut completely, so it's nice if you're an L fan.) You really need to sit down and watch at least part of movie 1 first to see if you like it- a lot of folks didn't like the heavy story cutbacks and the B-movie setup. I enjoyed it, but I have little experience with the anime/manga.

[Chibi_Kaji]

I believe that theres a Code Geass manga in the weekly sale items this week. Can't recall exactly though.
Yeah, But it's Code Geass: Suzaku of the Counterattack vol 1 which also comes with the Limited Edition Code Geass part 3 which I plan to pick up the next Bandai sale..

[Friend of Sonic]

Yeah, I've never seen the original Sonic X, but from what I hear, the US version is needlessly butchered. Just scenes missing for no apparent reason, or edited to be worse. A shame. I think I'll hold out until I need filler for shipping when I'm buying other stuff. They seem to have a ton of Season 5 or 6 (well, 65+, which is good enough for me to wait it out a bit) I really don't wanna pay shipping on the sets.

I think I may go ahead and pick up Gurren Lagann part 2 and the Haruhi collection.

[Chibi_Kaji]

I was kind of hoping books would be part of the sale. But I'll take advantage of this and pick up Code Geass Part 3 LE, Lucky Star vol 6 and Gundam 00 part 1 LE.

[the_punisher]

It's not a bad sale. I think i may get Blue Submarine #6 for $12, Code Geass Part 3 for $24, My Otome Zwei for $18, and the rest of the My-Otome series for $40.

Still, the sale has a lot of good series' on sale. I don't don't about most of these, but i've heard of Planetes, Freedom, Big O, Crest of the Stars, Eureka Seven (only part 1 tho), and a bunch of others. I'll wait for comments here before buying anything, i got time.

[GenDV138]

Thanks for the update, been waiting for My Otome Zwei SE to go on sale around $30. Might also pick up the Eureka Seven collection 1.

[Chibi_Kaji]

I didn't notice that My Otome Zwei was so cheap right now... to bad I can't really spend the money on it. I'll just have to wait until it's in the weekly specials again.

[Shinpachi]

So wait wait wait, I don't have an account at Right Stuf so I can't get to the screen to try the coupon code, but this is 40% off the MSRP right? And 46% if you're in their GotAnime program thing? That seems pretty close to the 42% off MSRP that dvdpacific is already at on most anime.

[wormraper]

However DvdPacific isn't exactly the most trustworthy of retailers IMO, very cheap stuff but bad CS and poor shipping (just like Deepdiscount.com too)

[Ecofreak]

I'll be picking up Code Geass Collection 3 and the 2 Gundam Seed DVD collections. Thanks for the heads up, OP!

I'll be picking up Code Geass Collection 3 and the 2 Gundam Seed DVD collections. Thanks for the heads up, OP!
Stay away from Destiny... pretend it ends at the last ep of SEED.

[StarKnightX]

For me I'm probably gonna be getting a bunch of Gundam anime. I only have one gundam series in my collection (the two volume 0080) and have been itching to get and watch more of the long running series. Or at the very least get a few of the ones I've already seen and like (such as G Gundam).

It's not a bad sale. I think i may get Blue Submarine #6 for $12, Code Geass Part 3 for $24, My Otome Zwei for $18, and the rest of the My-Otome series for $40.

Still, the sale has a lot of good series' on sale. I don't don't about most of these, but i've heard of Planetes, Freedom, Big O, Crest of the Stars, Eureka Seven (only part 1 tho), and a bunch of others. I'll wait for comments here before buying anything, i got time.

Been meaning to get Crest of the Stars. Might also get Eureka Seven , but perhaps I'll just wait for Anime Legends Vol.2 to come out. That way I can just grab both together.

Also I <3 Big O. It's like an anime Batman with giant robots. If you don't mind the cliffhanger ending after season 1 and don't care too much
about the story I would consider skipping volume 2. Although there are still some really good episodes/fights in season 2 , more of the episodes are slow and story intensive. The story also gets a lot more confusing in season 2 , and the ending is kinda wishy washy. But despite my displeasure about parts of season 2 , I still like the show a lot.

Stay away from Destiny... pretend it ends at the last ep of SEED.

Thanks for the tip , I've seen Seed and thought it was alright but wasn't sure about destiny.

[the_punisher]

I never got into gundam, but I think I read that gundam 00 is being worked on by some guys that did Code Geass or something....idk, but can you get into gundam easily, I know it has hundreds of series/spinoffs/ w/e and I've never watched any of it.

[Ecofreak]

Stay away from Destiny... pretend it ends at the last ep of SEED.

Destiny was total rubbish -- fun to watch when nothing else was available but really inconsequential in terms of storyline and uninspired Gundam design. And what the heck was with the fake Lacus? I mean, really?

Anyways, here's my final order after coupon:

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion DVD Part 3 (Hyb) Limited Edition 1 $38.99
Evangelion, Neon Genesis CD Soundtrack 2 (*) 1 $4.00
Evangelion, Neon Genesis CD Soundtrack 3 (*) 1 $4.00
Evangelion, Neon Genesis CD Soundtrack: The Day of Second Impact (*) 1 $4.00
Fruits Basket CD Soundtrack: Four Seasons (*) 1 $4.00
Gundam SEED DVD Collection 1 (Hyb) - Anime Legends 1 $29.99
Gundam SEED DVD Collection 2 (Hyb) - Anime Legends 1 $29.99
His and Her Circumstances CD Soundtrack Act 2.0 (*) 1 $4.00
Item Subtotal: $118.97

Total Savings: $25

I'd normally buy the non-limited edition Code Geass bundle, but decided to splurge because of the included Soundtrack Vol 2 (which I absolutely love). Makes me sad that I didn't buy the first Limited Edition box set as it also included OST 1, but couldn't justify the extra cost at the time since discounts were only going ~30% at the time.

Getting the complete Gundam Seed collection for $60 is $1.15 per episode, which is a great deal considering I'll show my kids this someday and a pretty good series regardless.

BTW, if anyone has the Code Geass OST 1 from the first Limited Edition box set for sale or trade, be sure to PM me. ;)

Now if I could just finish watching Gurren Lagan, Tsukihime, and Kino's Journey on top of this season's offerings...

[genfuyung]

Im about to order the entire my otome series but I have a problem. The second dvd says they have over 400 of them left but the status says its on order from manufacturer? Anyone had that happen before? I suppose I'll just order it and call them tomorrow (they're closed today) and see whats up.

Hope it's not a problem, it was part of my order ;). Then again, it hasn' shipped yet, and i ordered it two days ago, so it could be delayed or something.

[franz ferdinand]

In for the Lucky Star vol 5 LE. Probably more later.

Basically means ~400 incoming, not in stock at the moment.

[Hibiwa]

They've restocked with plenty of Hell Girl vol. 2 if anyone is interested. But now #6 is low. All volumes are $5 each. The cover art and art cards are wow. Too bad not many have given this series much thought. Selfishly, I now want everyone to buy these so Funimation will acquire and release season 2 so I can finish out the story. Not that season 1 ends poorly. Futakomori just rounds it all out for Hell Girl's 3 workers and fleshes out their backstory.

However DvdPacific isn't exactly the most trustworthy of retailers IMO, very cheap stuff but bad CS and poor shipping (just like Deepdiscount.com too)

I've only ordered from them twice, but my first order of a few different series with artboxes was perfectly fine. And when my 2nd order of the FMA movie had a somewhat deep scratch in the bonus features disc, I emailed their customer service and they sent me a replacement disc in just a few days without issue.

[Chibi_Kaji]

Destiny was total rubbish -- fun to watch when nothing else was available but really inconsequential in terms of storyline and uninspired Gundam design. And what the heck was with the fake Lacus? I mean, really?

I'd normally buy the non-limited edition Code Geass bundle, but decided to splurge because of the included Soundtrack Vol 2 (which I absolutely love). Makes me sad that I didn't buy the first Limited Edition box set as it also included OST 1, but couldn't justify the extra cost at the time since discounts were only going ~30% at the time..
Forget the fake Lacus since she was was nice to look at.The characters I had problems with was the lead character(at least for the start of the series) and then bringing back a certain character from the dead. Granted SEED did that as well but it was far more believable.... well less unbelievable anyway since... His suit didn't explode in space. Also they ruined Luna towards the end of the series too. The only nice things I can say about GSD is they gave us a hot spring scene and it gave us two captain boobies. XD

Also, that first CG LE was worth it. It came with the 1st vol of the manga(Which is actually ok), Drama CD and the OST. Can't wait to get my hands on the Vol 3 LE since it comes with vol 1 of Code Geass: Suzaku of the Counterattack.

Oh, there were many reasons to dislike GSD -- thank you for saving me the time of enumerating them all. ;)

Now you wanna talk about a screwy Gundam Series.... WTF is with Gundam 00 Second Season? You wanna talk about people getting killed then coming back? It's like everyone has several lives, save for the Gundam Misters (they haven't really died yet). Everyone's freakin' chompin' down on 1-Up 'shrooms or something magical like that.

Yea, I'm still kinda disappointed I didn't get 1st LE -- especially consider how much I adore the series. I'll work on rectifying that in the future, so long as I can find them at a good price.

I heard that Code Geass R2 had Blu-Ray releases. I'm really curious to see the pricing of those babies.

Hibawa , it appears that Kamuchu and Paranoia Agent DVD/CD Combo's are OOS cause I couldn't find them in the Bargain Bin.

Z e r o , Those are the bargain bin items. As you mentioned a lot of really good deals often show up there if your paying attention.

[genfuyung]

Well I made a mistake in my order. I meant to order the 7th dvd of samurai champloo with it because Ive needed it for over a year but I forgot and now they've shipped my order and I cant add it to it. If anyone needs filler for one of their orders to get free shipping and will order it for me I'd be glad to pay you back for it. Let me know if anyone can do it. Thanks a lot.

I think they started to release R1 on Blu-Ray as well. But I was hoping to see Gundam 00 come out here on Blu-Ray as well. Speaking of 00, I am still enjoying the 2nd season even if it is turning out to be a trainwreck. But I do miss S1 Sumeragi...

Thanks for adding these. Hell Girl vol.2 is currently OOS with one of those check back things. I hope mine's been set aside already. Can you also fix the price. It's $5.00 each but you list as $6.

And sorry if I confused anyone. Kamichu! and Paranoia Agent are separate individual soundtracks. Only Fate /Stay Night is bundled as a DVD/CD pack. All still available as of 3:46 pm EST. Here are the links:

Kamichu
(http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/qW=fgX96Dn6qoEpQPS/browse/item/71165/4/0/0)46 qty.
Very relaxing instrumental music. Good mix of strings, wind, guitar and piano pieces. Feels like a lazy summer day in a quaint coastal town/island.

Paranoia Agent (http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/Rwd0w9SQ=V9LInaesi/browse/item/64951/4/0/0)
29 qty.
Not for everyone. It's out there, but something about it hooks you (me anyways) in. Kind of tribal. but not really. Susumu(?) has a way with sounds. Some might not liking the retro'ish synths, but it's the vocals that transcend. If you liked the Paprika soundtrack you'll probably like this one.

Fate/Stay Night DVD/CD combo (http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/e8NuraxVpVWrL6Zx-7/browse/item/82301/4/0/0)
62 qty.
This sticks in mind. It fits the anime perfectly, and it fits outside. Emotional music. Not sure how to categorize it though. Hey, I love it so I'm recommending it. :D

Also added the other two soundtracks to the OP , now that I know what you were talking about.;)

[Chibi_Kaji]

Both Code Geass vol 3 and Lucky Star vol 6 is on backorder for me. And I think I'll hold off on getting My Otome for now. I'll just wait for the Bandai to put out a anime Legend collection of it and get that whenever it's on sale.

[surak]

Argh, every few months I remember to check if TRSI has put in more Fruits Basket GN for order/pre-order, missed out of the Tokypop sale by 10 days. Not really interested in the Bandai sale, but the bargain bin is really chock full of good stuff. I can't decide what the pad with Mushishi 1-6 and FB 22-23 to get free shipping. Was debating between the BECK box set, FMP Fumoffu 1(w/box)-4, Gundam 08th MS box, something cheaper like a soundtrack or a pillows CD, or Abenobashi 1(w/box)-3 + hope that vol 4 gets stocked in the future.

I even rearranged my shelves to make some space for Mushishi and Fumoffu before being paralyzed by indecision.

$6 for Witchblade? Thats a pretty good deal. I picked it up when they had the DVDs for about $10 each. It was surprisingly good series.... and not just for the fanservice.

I freaked when Mushi-Shi Vol.1 was running low last time and quickly bought the whole 1-6 set. Nice that they restocked. Way better to get the single discs as the new thinkpak boxset collection does not have all the dvd extras. Gotta love the booklets and art cards with the individuals too.

How much $ to pad? That Fruits Basket CD Soundtrack: Four Seasons is $4 since you like the manga and presumably the anime.

For anyone looking for something quirky that's not animated... I blind bought The Great Horror Family ($10) and have gotten up to ep 4 so far. It's a 13 show live action japanese series that is pretty funny with horror elements thrown in. The gist is family buys a house, gramps dies, stays as a ghost and guides eldest grandson on saving the family from said cursed house and the spirits that are drawn in. Cheesy effects, yes, but it's meant to be and it works very well.

I didn't expect much from it, but it's quite enjoyable. Well worth the ten bucks since about everyone else is selling it for retail under $40. Though I read somewhere that it was found at Big Lots for $2.99.

My weakness is being a TopCow fan, and actually reading the comics of Witchblade and The Darkness, so I had to have it. >_>

[Ecofreak]

My shipment arrived (save for Code Geass LE 3, which is back ordered).

It's pretty amazing that the two Evangelion CDs have a sticker saying "Find out how to get a free CD! -- Expiration date: Sept. 2004"

Wow, now that's some old stock.

[surak]

I do like the Fruits Basket anime a lot, and especially the OP, but it was so long since I last watched it that I forgot whether the rest of the music was worth $4.

I ended up getting to $49.23 with Fruits Basket vol 22, Mushishi 1-6 (although 2's counter said OOS, it still let me check out...), and the Mono CD "Under the Pipal Tree" from the Bargain Bin. Since I didn't preorder vol 23 I'll probably be back in June looking for ways to get free shipping again, heh.

Freedom is pretty average, but FLAG and X TV are both fantastic. FLAG was probably one of the best titles released in the last year.

[durden26]

So, I've been staring at this sale for days now, and I'm wondering if I should pull the trigger on Witch Hunter Robin and Crest of the Stars. Witch Hunter seems wildly YMMV and Banner of the Stars looks to be long out of print, and I don't want to start and not be able to get the middle section. I really liked Bebop and Elfen Lied, and I'm a sucker for space stuff. Any thoughts? Also, X TV looks really interesting, but are the remixes going to be thrown together into a box set soon, like Bebop?

Witch Hunter Robin probably isn't worth a blind buy. It has its moments, but not enough of them. Crest/Banner of the Stars are impressive space soap operas, but they can be pretty dry at times. And since Geneon is kaput, unless Funimation license-rescues X TV Remix, it won't be getting a box set.

Some of my favorite Bandai-published titles include:

Big O/Big O II
Cowboy Bebop
Escaflowne
Eureka Seven
Fantastic Children
FLAG
Jubei-chan
Planetes
Wolf's Rain

You may want to investigate those to see if any of them sound interesting to you.

Thanks for the recs, I actually already have Freedom box set on Blu-ray (along with most of the other bandai visual titles) and think its awesome.

Which reminds me, what are the likelihood of #2 and #3 coming to Blu-ray?


Big O/Big O II
Cowboy Bebop
Escaflowne
Eureka Seven
Fantastic Children
FLAG
Jubei-chan
Planetes
Wolf's Rain

These too, which would you think are potential Blu-ray double dips? I think there are unsubbed and undubbed Blu-ray versions of Eureka7 and Cowboy Bebop in Japan IIRC.

There's something about the character designs and animation style of Witch Hunter Robin that bugs me. The crappy 3D CGI does not blend in well with the more traditional flat looking art and ends up as a distraction. I watched the first disc and am in no hurry for the rest -- the story didn't hook me either.

Toward the Terra was pretty good if you want space stuff. The series spans many years as the protagonist and antagonist become lifelong enemies as they hold strong to their beliefs about humanity and justice. Connected characters help shape their ideals in different ways.

Whoops, I forgot about Toward the Terra when making my list - thank you! Excellent show, but I'm holding off for a cheap collection later this year or early next year. Ditto for Code Geass, though it's not quite as good.

[durden26]

Thanks for the thoughts. I'll pass on Witch Hunter, seeing as how I picked up many, many things during the Best Buy sale. I'll keep your suggestions in mind after I plow through some of my stuff, including Planetes, Escaflowne and Bebop. Still, I can never pass up a deal...

Freedom is definitely a must buy.

Yeah looks good :)

I was going to pickup FLAG too but did not for a couple of reasons.

- #1 its relatively recent so possible Blu-ray double-dip fodder
- #2 from the description it seems to be a Japanese animated adaptation/re-envisioning of the American 'flags of our fathers' story from WWII, whose imagery in reality helped motivate Americans to stick in the war and defeat Germany/Japan - which altogether seems a bit bizarre to me.

Anyone have any reccomendations from this new Aurora sale?

Basically looking for:
* Stuff that likely won't be on Blu-ray (made before 2005 or SD mastered)
* Stuff that is relatively mature in tone/content
* Stuff that is good
* Scifi/fantasy preferred

I have none of the Aurora discs, any ideas?

[durden26]

Caved in on Sunday and bought Crest/Banner of the Stars II, FLAG and X TV 1 - 8. Is there a good way to get ahold of Banner I? I'd like to buy it, but I can't find it anywhere.

[Chibi_Kaji]

The new sale is up(32% off all instock items). I might sit this one out since I'm still waiting for the stuf I ordered during the Bandai sale and I have no idea when to the orders will ship...

[Hibiwa]

Kinda looks like they jacked up the regular discounted prices for this 'sale' though. Ends up only slightly cheaper than before based on a random sample of plushies and other knick knacks.

[DuelLadyS]

If you read the whole thing, it says it's up to 32% off MSRP, and only 10% off their normal prices (which is standard for the in-stock sale.) Why they wrote it up this way is beyond me.

Generally, this can be a good way to save a tiny bit extra on some manga... but the difference is only a few cents, and it doesn't work on all of it (Del-Ray, for example, seems like it'll come out a few cents more.)

I'm skipping it- the only stuff that'd be worhtwhile is the second half of Sugar Sugar Rune, which is Del-Ray and not in stock. I'll be focusing on the Gamedays sale at GS and my upcoming anime con next week.

[Chibi_Kaji]

I forgot about the Gamedays sale at GS. I'll definitely hold off on this and wait for the next Bandai/Funimation/whatever sale since the deals are much better during those sales. Not to mention I ordered most of the stuff I wanted already...

[Hibiwa]

Can someone please list the codes for the previous Fall 2008 catalog coupons? I didn't get a chance to jot it down before the new Spring 2009 one was posted. I think those were valid 'til the end of April. Thanks.
