My sony takes a while to load.

I also recommend Baccano, this really isnt much of a sale on it but I got this a few month ago and its great!

It's $1.00 cheaper than what it was for preorder.

How is Those Who Hunt Elves? Never heard of it before, any good?

It's old school 80's anime with Transformable motorcycles done by some of the people who worked on Macross. I haven't watched it in awhile but I thought it was pretty good.

As much as I'd like to have it, that's more than I want to pay for it.

It is stupid fun. An oddball collection of people from our world get stuck in a fantasy land, run around the countryside in a tank looking for elves and ripping their clothes off in search of the spell to get them home. Nothing particularly deep here, but it is fun for what it is.

Haha, that's right; now I remember.

Hmm, maybe I lied, since this is from a chat log from about two years ago when I finished watching Tears to Tiara, haha:

Pretty damn good. It's been a while since I've seen Utawarerumono, but I think Tears to Tiara does a lot better in telling its story. It fleshes out each part of the story sufficiently. Actually, I think the story is a lot better than Utawarerumono's. Tears to Tiara is an amalgamation of history and different myths, legends, and cultures. Even though you know some of Tears to Tiara's roots and inspirations, the way it's weaved together to create its own story is the best part. I'm probably not even noticing all of the references.

Also, even though Tears to Tiara is also based on a visual novel (by the same company that developed Utawarerumono), I don't remember it feeling like a harem. Without giving anything away, it's more like the main character is building up his party and resources in an RPG.

I have never seen a huge difference IMO in terms of details (video) in anime or animated shows on Bluray vs DVD (and don't care for audio to much to base it on that alone). I want to get HSotD, but wanted someones opinion if there is a remarkable difference on Bluray that justifies the extra $4. $4 is not much, but what I hate most if how SLOW Bluray discs are to load versus regular DVDs.

If you can't notice a discernible difference between a DVD or Blu-ray, I have to wonder if you're watching the right things or if your setup is good enough to show the differences. A proper HD show on Blu-ray is going to look a lot better than the DVD counterpart. There won't be any compression artifacts; the video will be sharper and clearer; and there will be more detail, since Blu-ray displays at a resolution of 1920 x 1080, instead of the DVD resolution of 720 x 480.

I'm pretty sure High School of the Dead is an HD show, so it should look pretty darn good on Blu-ray.

Well then, I guess I'm gonna have to get this now, thanks!

I 2nd this question. Should we wait even longer after the 12th day for more deals? OP says "and everything on this list will be on sale until 11:59 p.m. CT on December 12, 2011"

Originally Posted by Twilight Sparkle I agree on all accounts. That Chance Pop Session alternate cover is the most deceiving cover I know of, along with this Princess Tutu one. And I love both of those shows. And I only gave High School of the Dead a shot because it has zombies, but it was just so blatantly crass.

When they cry vol 1 art is MUCH MUCH worse

someone is going to buy it expecting this


and will instead get this

From what I recall, they usually do a "Plus" sale after the 12th day, but well before the sale ends. So it'd be either the 13th or 14th day, likely the 13th since that'll be a Saturday.

If they get Clannad After Story DVD Collection 2 (S) back in stock I'll probably order the whole set, but so far have gotten nothing.

Unfortunately, After Story Collection 2 has been de-listed from Right Stuf; that means they're not going to be getting any more in stock.

Awww---those psycho-bitches from When They Cry are just precious

I remember the plus sale too, but will we know before the end of tomorrow, or do we have to take a chance waiting and possibly missing the sale?

The sale doesn't end tomorrow, silly. The sale ends on December 12th at 11:59 PM CT; it says it right on the sale page.

Now, on whether or not the sale will be extended, I don't know. It was extended last year though until the 23rd, so maybe?

Oy good point! Doesn't hurt to wait and see then.

It's been extended every year since I can remember, so it's almost guaranteed at this point.

One of the deals today is Initial D Stage 4 for $18, great if you get charged tax on Amazon. Though I am most likely wrong, since MSRP is $23. The wait is soo long.

That's part of the Weekly Specials (until the 14th). The MSRP is $29.98 (as noted by TRSI under Retail Price).

It's odd that everywhere else the MSRP is lower.
