All I've bought so far is the Haruhi box... I'm a little disappointed I won't be able to pick up the Twelve Kingdoms Collections that are coming out in June, but... whatever.

It's definitely not my last order though. I should really pick up more of Ergo Proxy, get the Fighting Spirit movie, and finish off stuff like My Hime.
 
[quote name='Blade']Which code did you use?

Are Anime Legends Collections any better or worse than the original collections?[/QUOTE]
It works with any code. Anime Legends releases have the exact same contents, disc-wise, as the original releases - you just don't get the original packaging.
 
IIRC, the only significantly terrible budget rereleases are the thinpack collections that ADV does... as those have all the extras cut out.

I need to get that scrapped princess collection now that it's cheap as hell.
 
[quote name='Blade']Which code did you use? It doesn't show any discount anywhere for me.

[/quote]

I used nytimes, but I just tried dvdtalk, and that shows a discount too.
 
[quote name='Kirin Lemon']And that's exactly your problem - you like crap! ;)[/QUOTE]

Ouch!! ;) But seriously, if anyone's looking for good anime (imo) some things that I don't believe have been mentioned so far:
Gungrave
Now and Then, Here and There
Wolf's Rain
Soul Hunter
Princess Nine
Blue Gender
Crono Crusade
Most of these should be fairly inexpensive and offer a good mix of drama, emotion, violence, and the occasional disproportionately endowed female. The great thing about anime is there's something for everyone!!
 
2 quick questions....

1. Did they push back the release of Fantastic Four extended edition to 6/19 at DDD after the sale so no one buys it for 20% off? I think if you price match at CC it's cheaper anyway right?

2. Fantastic Four animated vol 1 come out on Tues. It only has 4 episodes. Should I wait for a larger set? Will they produce one?
 
[quote name='abhinav']I have a question, if stuff is out of stock can i still order it with the discount?[/QUOTE]

Yes.

Pre orders? No.
 
[quote name='Kuma']ok so does anyone have anymore codes. i believe they only work once[/quote]

You have made over 10 orders?
 
Thinking of picking up The Coyote Ragtime Show as well as Calvin and Hobbs and a few more HD-DVDs in one more order. I kind of miss the previous years' enthusiam where everyone had huge lists of stuff that I could check out.

I am glad that this sale runs for a couple of weeks as this has already gotten more expensive than I wanted and it's nice to space things out.

Coyote Ragtime is the definition of mediocre anime.

also, my enthusiasm is kinda gone because... well, I have most of the stuff I need. That, and I'm working at DDD's retail store, so when that opens, my incentive to bother with this sale is pretty much gone thanks to employee discounts and the like.
 
[quote name='Kirin Lemon']I'd assume that things would make much more sense if you watched Utena from the beginning, yes.[/QUOTE]

Well, my price-check just now suggests DD curently only stocks the Black Rose saga boxset... and a quick check of my other main anime sources has the first box MIA.

Guess I have to skip it for now regardless. Ah well...
 
[quote name='Kuma']Am i the only person who didnt care for Utena?[/QUOTE]
Let's not forget the TRUE ending for Utena in the movie....


*Spoiler alert*


















Utena transforms into a car? Total wtf moment for me.

[quote name='y2kenjination']Let's not forget the TRUE ending for Utena in the movie....[/QUOTE]
Pretty visuals and an amazing soundtrack are all the Utena movie had going for it. Talk about a bastardization of an amazing TV series, reminiscent of the Escaflowne film in its terribleness.
 
I was on the fence about How I Met Your Mother (already seen them all at first broadcast), and then I saw that the DVDs are fullscreen. No way I'm supporting such boneheadery.

[quote name='smashthesymbols']Don't know if this has been mentioned, but there's absolutely insane deals available here for The Complete Far Side and Complete Calvin and Hobbes collections.

Far Side - $53.54 ($85.05 on Amazon, $108 on Barnes and Noble)
Calvin and Hobbes - $59.34 ($94.50, $120)

I just picked up both. I've been wanting them for years but could never afford the $100+ they go for in stores. It'll probably mean I order almost no DVDs from the sale, but oh well.[/quote]

Nice finds on both. I'm in for the Far Side, as I bought C&H when it was released for ~$75. My only concern is how well it's going to hold up during shipping: both are extremely heavy items (especially the C&H set) and I had to exchange my copy of C&H locally because it arrived from B&N online with significant dings to two corners.
 
Is Magic Knight Rayearth any good? The fact that it's only 29 bucks for 1375 minutes is double what my normal blind buy point is ($10-15 for 13 eps, $15-30 for 26+ eps) but I'd still like some feedback.
 
Rayearth is fantastic if you like Clamp stuff or even moderate shojo stuff. I'd argue it's probably a more "essential" watch for a shojo fan then Sailor Moon at that price. Buy it.
 
Got another question. I'm about to place a second order on some books and notice that the link to some of them is wrong (i.e. shows Vol. 16 instead of Vol. 22) and this is for A LOT of them. BUT the picture for the cover art AND the ISBN number are correct. If I place an order, will they give me the correct item instead of going by the title in the link? Has this happened to anyone before so I can get some insight on this? Thanks.
 
[quote name='mkelehan']Will I be able to walk into the store twice a year and say "USATODAY" to get a massive discount?[/QUOTE]

I asked that question myself. They told me the store wouldn't be open in time for the sale (it's supposed to open June 15th) so I was like, "when's the f-in' sale then?" And they said it started the very end of May. So yes, I do work there part time. I think there's only one retail store for them though....

If someone can shout USATODAY or DVDTALK and expect a discount though, I will stab them.

Could someone describe the Rayearth packaging for me? I know there's a thin cardboard box holding two thick DVD cases. What are the cases like? This is a series I've wanted for a long time and, though I prefer the original box sets, I might just pick up this collection.

It looks like the same kind of cases the 1st economy pack came in... which means 6 discs, 2 per 'page', in a case about the thickness of 2 standard DVD cases.

But I'm not 100% on that... it means they either re-did the discs for season 2, (and they've never made new Rayearth discs before), or they removed the special features disc from the season 1 economy set.

If the ISBN number is correct, you'll be fine. This came up before with some manga that I ordered as well, and I received exactly what I was supposed to.

[quote name='abhinav']I have a question, if stuff is out of stock can i still order it with the discount?[/QUOTE]

[quote name='mr ryles']Yes.

Pre orders? No.[/QUOTE]

I sure hope so. I've seen it said here and DVD Talk forums that the coupon applies to out-of-stock items, but when I place my order the discount isn't subtracted from those out-of-stock items. I'll have to keep an eye on what I'm charged when these out-of-stock items finally ship.
 
I ordered The Cosby Show S2 when it was OOS (and still is) and the price was discounted. You might want to check with them on your OOS items. It's only the preorders that are excluded from the coupon.
 
I can also confirm that the discount works on OOS items. I made two separate orders and both orders contained items that were OOS at the time of the order. The discount was still taken off on all items.

I didn't realize that the codes could work on books (at least right now they do, anyway), so I ordered the Fountain graphic novel twice and I'll just return the more expensive one.
 
fyi, with the oos it might take a verrrry long time if it's not a common dvd. my boyfriend ordered the 70's "get carter" and it took about 2 months or so to finally get to him. oddly enough, there were two copies of the disc inside the sealed case haha.

They worked on mine because it was marked as a "Mega Deal." I thought that was the only reason why, according to what I read here. Do they work on ALL books?
 
Seems early this year, well let's see if I can scrounge up a little money to buy a few things or not. :whistle2:k actually if I get this new job this week I'll definitely be making a purchase.

[EDIT: Just wanted to note that this is my first DDD purchase]

Just curious guys, how long does it usually take DD to process their orders? I made an order on thursday and paid for the 1 day shipping (like $17 extra) and the fucking thing hasn't even been processed yet. What gives?

That is a bit odd but they're probably so swamped that it may have fallen through the cracks. Have you emailed them?

Sometimes the system get's slow when there is alot going on, I think in the past i've gotten shipping notifications after I had my packages. They possibly shipped it on Friday, but since it was the weekend it might get delivered today, if not call and complain you paid for overnight.
 
Most of my first order shipped today via the standard free method. I'm sure the size/weight of the order means they shipped it slow boat, so I suspect I won't be getting it for another 4-6 weeks. All my small orders (1-3 regular dvds or 1 average-sized box set) in the past went USPS Priority which takes about 3 business days to Hawaii from their West Coast distribution center. It really depends on how big/heavy your order is and how far you are from their warehouse(s) as far as how long it takes.

I've never used their expedited service.
 
Aw, seems like the coupon doesn't work on books anymore. Had some more manga I wanted to get too. But the prices are still decent.

BTW, anyone ever read the manga Vagabond? How is it?
