I've updated the list with new additions/confirmations in orange that were reported by members here. If there are any discretions, just let me know and I'll fix em. All other titles were reported by members at AOD or DVDtalk and credit goes to them.

An interesting note brought up in the thread is that you can also order titles if in store if you can't find them there. The sale price doesn't show until the cashier rings up the deal.

GCM is actually what the americans used to create the second act of robotech. This set is uncut and has nothing to do with macross. I wonder if the japanese would ever take 2 of our cartoons and splice them together and call it something different.

And Southern Cross Calvery is part 3. I wouldn't be surprised if that is on sell too if someone wanted to special order it. At least SCC and Macross where done by the same studio Studio Nue not sure who did GCM off the top of my head though. I have the Robotech sets with the Extra discs and they have Carl Macek interview(The guy who basically butcherd all three series to make them sort of fit together) Said he decided to go with the Japanese animators because they can produce the show pretty fast. But considering by the time he got his grubby hands on them they where allready done but guess he figured people wouldn't know or care heh.

heh that was stupid of me Medium and a lack of sleep threw me off.
 
When you put "(all volumes)" do you mean the entire collection or each disc is whatever price is said? For instance, Full Metal Panic is $9.99(all volumes) so is it $9.99 a disc or $9.99 for the whole shebang?

Wouldn't that be hot!

It's 9.99 EA volume :p
 
I went to my local FYE (cutler ridge fl) and no dice, no sale and no ordering. Nothing scanned on sale either. I'll check again later this week.
 
I got Burn Up Excess collection today 17.99, sadly the most angry large black woman ive ever seen in my life rang up my item so I didnt bother ordering from her, Ill check back later.
My list is now EXCEL SAGA COLLECTION
Steel Angel Kurumni Collection
Sorcerers Hunter Collection
 
[quote name='woobacca'][quote name='Medium_Pimpin'][quote name='woobacca']Thanks Sway. You might want to clarify that the City Hunters are actually City Hunter Season 1 Collection 1 and City Hunter Season 2 Collection 1. I don't think either Season's Collection 2s were on sale. Also, my bad they're actually going for 29.99, not 24.99 like I had originally posted on Friday.[/quote]

Damn, those were some long ass seasons of city hunter....

I'm going to see if i can order the other ones, or else i may end up returning them.[/quote]
I just saw Season 2 Collection 2 there, but it scanned for the full 89.99.[/quote]

whoops, sorry about that. the fye at the main place mall has them "tagged" for $29.99, and they always honor the labeled price for me, even if a sale has already expired. i guess it's ymmv for the city hunter collections. they only have one of each collection left though so it might not even be there anymore.
 
List is updated again. Also changed the color of the titles confirmed by CAG members cause I think the red was kinda hard on the eyes. Green seems kinda hard to see agains the gray background so can anyone suggest a good color to use? Also clarified that each volume is its respective price just to avoid any further confusion.
 
You might want to add these (my prices are approx. since I had to go through canadian customs and didn't want to pay 15% tax on about $300 worth of goods. This way if they searched my car, as they did once, I wanted to be able to say that I already had them and didn't just buy them, so I tossed the receipts and the tags):
devil lady complete collection: 16.99
Gravion all volumes (1-3): 9.99
slayers excellent, gorgeous, great: 4.99-9.99
nurse witch komugi vol. 2: 9.99
edens bowy (sp?): 6.99 or 7.99
rune soldier (it was in the last fye clearance sale for 9.99 so they're most likely gone from most stores, but the fye in the walden galleria mall outside of buffalo still has them for 9.99)
Happy lesson: 1-3 + ova 9.99
miami guns: all volumes (1-4): 9.99

Blue seed beyond may also be 6.99. It's sitting on my shelf and I know it's a rather recent purchase. I haven't bought any stuff lately besides ai yori aoshi enishi so it was probably from fye on my last trip to buffalo about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I know I bought a bunch of anime then when the sale first started, so I'm pretty sure but not entirely.

Edit: did a quick run through of animeondvd forums. I mostly copied and pasted these, some didn't seem certain about the exact price. Some only have one or a few volumes listed, but the rest are likely on sale too. Here's they are:
Aquarian Age w/ box (vol 2 and 3 seem full price) $14.99
angelic layer all volumes: 9.99
kino's journey: box 14.99, vol 1, 2, 3, 4: 9.99
Aura Battler Dunbine(I think around $6.99?),
King of Bandit Jing vol. 1-4?: $9.99 (w/box $14.99)
risky safety vol 1: 9.99
gravitation vol 1& 3 9.99, vol 2 7.99
vanilla series spotlight (hentai, didn't say price, guessing 6.99 - 9.99)
Selected His and Her Circumstances Volumes: $10.99 and $12.99 ea.
Wedding Peach 1 and 2: $9.99 ea.
Magical Play Complete Collection: $9.99
Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal and Reflection: $9.99 ea
Mospeda for $29.99

Someone mentioned a bunch of soft cell (used to be the hentai division of adv, probably still is) and vanilla series were on sale as well, but no one said they bought any. It also seems like a few people have been told the sale will run until march 23rd.
 
Orange is great, thanks for the tip Admiral Ackbar. Also the list is updated again. Does anyone know when FYE stocks their stores? I'd think it'd be a good time to visit their store just after they get new stuff in.
 
Wow, those are some good prices.
I paid 40 for Excel Saga a couple months ago and thought that was a good price.
And Kurumi is a cute series, with one of the catchiest theme songs I've ever heard.
Gunsmith Cats I have on VHS, it was a pretty good series.
Too bad the nearest FYE is like 40 miles from me.
 
Anyone asked about the Nadesico Complete Chronicles or essential anime DVD's? Forgot to when I was in there last.

I've been thinking about seeing if thereis a CD based on the soundtrack

"Mira Kirumi!"

Gotta grab me kurumi and excel saga, and yes I was joking before awhile back about the guest shot....thought it was obvious.
 
Wow. There's about 10 titles that i NEED to have. There go my plans for saving my money. If even half this stuff's in stock when I go i'll be happy, thanks OP
 
[quote name='x0thedeadzone0x']Wow. There's about 10 titles that i NEED to have. There go my plans for saving my money. If even half this stuff's in stock when I go i'll be happy, thanks OP[/quote]

If its not in stock order it, or press them to check in "the back". I did and the guy found soul hunter complete in the back (hilarious anime).
 
Oh dammit all to hell now I have to update my list on what I want, cant believe I didnt notice these.
Dragon Half
Excel Saga Collection
Steel Angel Kurumni Collection
Sorcerers Hunter Collection
Magic Play Collection
 
[quote name='projecteightysix']Is devil lady any good???

the anime i like:
Cowboy bebop
Berserk
Gungrave
Ghost in the shell
Ninja Scroll

a few others..

would i like it?


also are these deals YMMV?[/quote]

Dunno about devil lady, but its not YMMV since people have purchased anime from FYES all over the country, but it could be YMMV depending on what they have in stock, then again you can always order what you want from them.
 
[quote name='Richter']if you cant find the titles you want at FYE, head over to GS. My store still had their "50% off Anime" signs up[/quote]

Most gamestops have no anime, and the few that do have extremely few (at least in the northeast).

Can anyone confirm whether lost universe is on sale or full price? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

The gamestops ive been to only sell used dvds.
 
My FYE sucks. They don't carry games at all, and they barely have any anime (and it wasn't that someone else had hit it first, they just have a row and a half of it). They had 2 titles from the sale, Final Fantasy Unlimited Phase 1, and Full Metal Panic Mission 4, neither of which I had planned to get, but I wasn't leaving empty handed. They had Cutey Honey, but it was the AE, and rang up full price. Makes me wish I hadn't wasted all that time researching which titles I wanted.
 
[quote name='darkcrawlspace']So should we expect FYE to keep adding DVD's to this sale, or is this about it?[/quote]

We can always keep our hopes up, I have mine up for some cheap evangelion dvds hehe.
 
I called FYE today and they said they could get everything on my order except Gunsmith Cats. I don't know when my order will arrive. But I should be getting the complete Kino's Journey and Comic Party box sets.

Nice. Were you able to order both sets at the sale price? I was only told the regular prices when I asked to order stuff.

Yeah. When they look it up in the system they show up as regular price. But when they ring it up for your order it shows up the discounted price. FYI I also had to order eash disk of Kino's individually.

Man, the past two months have had so many anime deals I'm tapped out. If I had an extra couple hundred I would spend it but I gotta save up. Oh well.
