Seconded.

I think we all agree.

I just ordered it. Razzuel told me before it was pretty good. I was hoping for a deal on Utawarerumono also.

I just ordered Tears to Tiara and Tsubasa OVA Collection.

Were the Soul Eater blu-ray volumes ever release in individual volumes of 1-4 or were the Meister/Weapon Collections the first release? I see the collections listed as "Part 1&2"/"3&4" on various sites but can't find any that are just Part 1/2/3/4. Are they only referred to this way because of how the DVD volumes were split up?

The Meister/Weapon Collections are the only release of Soul Eater on blu-ray. It's likely that they are called 1&2, 3&4 for the reason you mentioned.

How is the shipping at RightStuf? I've never ordered from there before and I'm interested in getting The Complete Saiyuki Series and The Spirit Gun Blu-Ray Yu Yu Hukusho bundle

Great. Their packages are packed well, and the economy shipping is pretty fast for "economy" shipping — I usually get an order four days after it ships.

Awesome. I was worried that I wouldn't get them if I shipped them to my job before we go on break.

Thanks for the feedback on Tears to Tiara and Special A. I'll pass on the latter and try out the former through my library to decide if it'd be worth getting.

I was wanting Tears for a very long time. Quite familiar with its game too. I was wanting to buy it on Amazon for $52, but I had a feeling it would appear one day on RightStuf on sale. Thankfully I got lucky and it did. Unfortunately, spending more than I should (I spent around $300 on this sale alone).

I know how you feel, these deals have been great and on alot of stuff Ive been meaning to buy like the samurai champloo blu and Mnemosyne Blu

I ended up getting Champloo, and the Highschool of the dead bluray and hardback manga compilation.

Highschool of the Dead is one of those guilty pleasures thats just so much fun to watch. Can't wait for the 2nd season.

Hell yeah!

I'm torn on Soul Eater for all the reasons previously mentioned. The end was so lame it almost ruined the enitre show. I will wait til next xmas where we'll likely see a single box with all of it contained within (or a similar cheapo price).

I thought Tears to Tiara was average. My memory is a bit hazy, but if I recall, Utawarerumono was a better show.

Woah I didn't even notice Seto no Hanayome was up there. I can never recognize it by it's translated name. Totally picking that up. It's too bad the OVAs don't appear to be included (at least according to the description).

HoTD was excellent (for what it is) and I picked up. I totally forgot that there should be a 2nd season. Should've waited, meh! Those Sentai guys never bring their prices down though which is frustrating. Ah well.

Edit: Bwahaha that video is too funny! It's that kind of self-deprecating humor the show has that I loved. They know they have to have the over-sized boob women in a zombie show and they mess with it all the time. Love it.

Yeah, I liked Utawarerumono better too, but Tears to Tiara was still pretty good.

How do the impossible matrix boobs count as self-deprecating humor? That scene isn't even supposed to be funny. All the breasts and panties in that show are about being provocative. I would understand if you thought it was funny because it's so dumb, but I just end up heaving a large sigh whenever I see it.

Ok, saw that Tears To Tiara is on Netflix, so I'll pass until I watch it.

Agreed but this scene might be more of what he was talking about:
GIFSoup

I dont know about being provactive with that clip. They have a mix of provactive with ridiculous. I just assumed the ridiculous was there to poke fun of the stereotypes. So yeah, I'm laughing because it's dumb/ridiculous. I sigh when they do it as if it's supposed to be provactive and it's epic fail.

Chance Pop Session Complete Collection's cover makes it look like a porno. WTF? It's basically an idol show for young girls! Seen it myself, it's cute, but there's NO fanservice or sexuality like that ridiculous cover implies.

High School of the Dead... wow. I watched the first episode on Hulu, what a piece of crap. The amount of fanservice was insulting.

Anyone seen Taisho Baseball Girls? My husband bought the PSP game on our honeymoon, but he hasn't seen the animu.

I'm not going to pretend that I don't enjoy the occasional fanservice anime, but HotD wasn't one of them. It wasn't so much the high number of service scenes that repulsed me so much as it was the fact that everyone except the pink-haired girl had giant inhuman hideous cow tits. Come on, Japan, at least have some aesthetic sensibilities sometimes. I wanted to puke whenever the school nurse was on screen.

The series is still worth owning for the action, but I wouldn't pay above $20 for the blu-ray.

Thanks. Well then, I suppose that regardless of the number of episodes per volume, if the Soul Eater and Casshern blu volumes originally had roughly the same MSRP, a reasonably-priced repackage containing the entire series isn't entirely out of the question in the future. I'll wait on Soul Eater and just kick myself if I never see it cheaper, I guess.
