Ouch. You can get it here for £18, probably one of the cheaper boxsets I've seen.

What country do you live in? It must still be in print over there. Personally I have the full series and box so its' not my concern but I hate that people have to shell out this kind of money now if they want a physical set. I think the show is on Crunchyroll or Netflix though so at least peopl can watch it.
AND THEY SHOULD.

whaT? It's not on Crunchyroll? FAIL.

Well, I'd think the currency symbol would make it obvious! I'm not sure if it's still in print though, I'm not sure what MVM's situation is, but their store has a bunch of boxsets reasonably priced http://www.anime-on-line.com/xcart/home.php?cat=1210 (passing on the savings of not hiring someone to make their website not look like something from the start of the internet to the consumer).

As someone who imports games from Zavvi frequently, I notice that this is a trend with many UK retail sites, hah.

Sorry, I read that as euros at first. I just woke up.
If you don't have it, pick it up while you can and while its dirt cheap.
I mostly did this, so I have several boxsets in my collection that are going for 2-400$ from various sellers. This is the main reason WHY I went crazy with collecting in the first place.
But like I said at least companies like CR and Netflix still make anime watching legally affordable.

I am set to catch up on 4 episodes of Persona 4 instead of 3 episodes of Nisemonogatari or 7 episodes of Chihayafuru. My post-Ricky Rubio world has been turned upside down I will not attempt to make any sense of it.

7 episodes of Chihayafuru is a great thing.
The others, maybe not so much. Going by your avatar I am pretty sure you'll enjoy Nise anyway. That OP is still stuck in my head. It just wont go away. Catchiest thing I've heard in a long time.

Why not collect Japanese releases at that price

for me its because most DVD sets didnt have English subs.
I found out that most BR sets do so this is an option in the future if I'm desperate enough to own something. I only paid $30-40 for those Geneon sets when they came out or were on clearance. Pretty much within a few days of the Geneon announcement I had already reacted by buying up all the Geneon shit I could possibly think of that I wanted because, well you see what the market's like now. This is also why I preorder figurines. This is such a limited exclusive market we are partaking of. It's really painful when you miss something you wanted and you see it later on Ebay :(

Nice prices there, I might have to pick up Paranoia Agent for that. I don't think MVM are quite dead yet, but given the BOMBA's I'd imagine it's only a matter of time.

That said, most of my MVM full series boxsets come from Amazon UK. I think I got Shakugan no Shana and Elemental Gelade for around 13-15 pounds each (among other things). With added advantage of surfing a website that was designed for browsers other than IE6. Only the latter was worth it though.

You like Elemental Gelade? Sweet! I really like that series, althougH I'm pretty sure most on here do not. Ren was really cute. Also like Cisqua a lot.
The music though. OMG THE MUSIC. Yuki Kajiura did a fine job on that soundtrack.

ALso I just saw Shana on amazon for a very dear price. Is there no Geneon title safe?

Yea, I remember getting Trigun cheap from amazon. In fact, that's how I found out about their site since Trigun came with a little leaflet for it.

I wonder if having their own store is what's helping them stay around.

I have/love the soundtrack too <3

Yeah it's a good series IMO, perhaps not the best in terms of animation and fight scenes (throw in character development too), but it was certainly cute and the ending was anything but tame. Also Cisqua is awesome.

Somebody's going to buy that and be very angry.

Alternatively, they may be very tsundere.

I still think the only ones that actually look good are Haruna and Manyuu, since they also change Juliet's hairstyle to match the character instead of keeping the pigtails and just slapping on the outfit. Haruna makes the most sense anyway since, well, she's the only one who also actually fights with a chainsaw. Shame it probably doesn't reskin your weapon to Mystletainn as well.

This place is plenty classy.
About as classy as a section of a forum dedicated to videogames can get.

If you want a truly classy anime discussion, there's always Sekai no Hajimari which is almost entirely populated by fans of Haibane Renmei. I assure you they are a very classy bunch, but also fun.

Which is why I specified it as "least-tyrannical" when compared to the monarchies and dictatorships often seen in science fiction, not necessarily best.

I can only assume they came to their senses and realised that a effective monarchy might be superior to a crumbling democracy.

Wait so Smile has Precure Peace AND awesome neckbeard surfer Lion? Fuuuuuck I'm totally in.
Click to expand...

I thought you were already in, hah. Didn't you watch all of Cure Peace's intro episode?

Smile Precure 06:

L5pYWl.jpg


Thrust, spin, turn, pivot, pout, jiggy, jiggy, robot, do-si-do, and close with a Matrix!

That was spectacular. I'm starting to agree with the people saying that Smile is self-aware, because there's no other way that the girls could spend so much time creating a catchphrase and working on the choreography for their transformation pose while taking it all so seriously. I really need a gif of the dance practice.

It's a shame that
Pop won't be sticking around
. He could have been the series' Tuxedo Mask to make the Sailor Moon parallels perfect, down to his use of "saraba da".
He's overpowered and can easily take down Akanbe with almost no assistance, and Cures have traditionally not needed to get bailed out of every bad situation like the Sailor Senshi, so I knew he probably couldn't be a permanent character.

Rinne No Lagrange: Episode 10



Boy, we're off to an exciting start. Lan fixing her hair and everything! I hope this sets the stage appropriately for the rest of the episode!
(post watch: I was expecting something amazing. Not setup...)


Well, at least this first half seems like it was following the intro. Just a bunch of random school activity things while rocking a jersey. At least there were a few that were funny! Poor Lan... Even her jokes aren't appreciated!
Yup, there will never be any question now. Lan is forever my favorite character in this show. MUGINAMI,TAKE THAT, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Asteria being great at light gun games made me laugh. I need to play some Time Crisis again now...
And her point about "to eat is to live" is something I've certainly lived my life by. But, then she had to go and make it creepy with the licking of sauce off of Madoka's face... haha
GEEZ, Asteria, have you ever heard of just tapping someone on the shoulder? People get time in jail for doing stuff like that.

Man, that guy must really hate Street Fighter.

Oh no, Madoka feels sad because Lan and Muginami are doing their own things. It's almost like as if she- oh, Asteria will just spell it out bluntly for the dumb audience watching. Thanks. I totally couldn't figure that out on my own.

Lan and Muginami pull a Superman in spectacular fashion, hahahaha. Madoka's talk with Asteria isn't enough to stop her, though!
Guess it's time for Madoka to disobey the man! Break the rules! Go fight with her soul sistahs! Oh, no, I guess that'll be next episode. Okay... Not sure on the title for the episode today, but fine.

NO CHAIRS AGAIN, WHAT IS THIS BLASPHEMY!?

Why don't more people watch Paranoia Agent? It was an excellent series, and Maromi is adorable. I have a little plush of the infernal creature that watches me from the shelf that came with the boxset.

People can't appreciate brilliant work such as that of episode 8.
6, 10, and 11 are also some fantastic stuff.

It wasn't a perfect show, by any stretch of the imagination, but a lot of the writing was really interesting. Not to mention, near the end,
the storybook world
was really fun to see.

That's too troublesome anymore. Can knock out a whole series in the same time it takes me to track down a fight that doesn't have linkin park or puddle of mudd tossed in to AMV it up.

I guess this is the only time you can see Urd as the perfect wife.
So, more wacky adventures of the goddess expect Belldandy and the rat. I guess the small size makes sense otherwise we wouldn't get a snow adventure in Keiichi's room.
One of the episodes did show that Belldandy doesn't really have anything besides all mighty goddess powers, unlike Urd and her drugs and Skuld and her machines. Maybe that's why she's been reduced to pretty much cameos in this show.
