I could finally see the series, hope it gets dubbed.
The rereleases dont make sense, why not on standard blu-rays.

"reprint" in the NA anime industry generally implies a downgrade, as I'm sure you well know from S.A.V.E. editions and such. Aniplex is probably going to put some loose discs in a sandwich bag and charge $50.

I have no idea how they would distribute it if it was DD only.

This is the last place I expected to see a Kazuhiko Shimamoto reference. Also, 70% of my frustration with this show can be summed up in one shot.
How the hell can you call yourself hot-blooded if you don't even finish your fights, Kumojackass!?

Highschool of the Dead had a few Shaun of the Dead call outs too.
Oh shit sorry I meant "buy" not "by"
I would not apply any conventional wisdom related to the NA anime industry to Aniplex USA...

The stuff of nightmares.
Then they'll put the entire series on one DVD for maximum profit.

This is post-Kirino Jex! He has evolved to another level of consciousness
also, to console anyone who wanted the LE boxset of Oreimo, just get the Fate Zero boxset instead. the bonus is that you get bluray discs and an actually great show to go with it.

I'm kind of torn. On one hand, Furuya annoys the hell out of me in the manga with his stupid cat expressions and I'm glad they're being toned down. On the other hand, I fear the more somber tone overall will make the mood whiplash a lot less effective.
Also not a fan of the schizophrenic Bakemono/Nisemono cuts thing they got going on, but I do know it doesn't end up as boring as that, so hopefully it won't be a major distraction.
Not the same! Also it's six times as much money. And Oreimo is a great show! I'll be forever sad I missed the LE by like half a week. It sold out literally days before I was going to order it.

I forgot I was dealing with bizzaro Jexhius for a moment. My mistake.

instead of oreimo, you should buy glass fleet. a show infinitely more entertaining than oreimo could ever hope to be
gaben-chan's pretty moe
Oreimo re-release on DVD only and no Baccano blu-ray re-release? Why do you do this to me Aniplex? I hate you. So much.
Its worth starving for. well not starving TO DEATH, but going without a few meals.

the LE isn't anything special really. You're not missing much.
Unless the rerelease doesn't have the additional episodes like this set. but I don't think they would cut that much content. they might even add some things.
To be fair, the only time I've tried watching it was when it was on the SciFi channel at midnight when they used to show one anime film a week. On a school night and everything. So maybe it would be better if I tried watching it while awake.
That is true, but I think a lot more people know the titles than the actual movies.

That gif...
Code Geass was truly a gift that keeps on giving.
Oh don't worry, I will have Glass Fleet as well.
It's got all the content from what they said. Mostly I just want the baubles, haha.
Haters gonna hate! I'm more excited for season two than I have been for any other anime in a long time. I will be the one and only representative of the Kirino Defense Force.
What do you mean by baubles?
then my work here is done
Glass Fleet sells itself, my good space dog.

Oreimo has about as much quality as the Minnesota Twins.
Man, I'm way behind on stuff I wanna check out. Feels pretty good, actually.
Polar Bear Cafe 1
There's just something unnatural about the way these realistically styled animals behave and interact with what seems like a predominant human population. The pacing is super slow and the humor is way more miss than hit but it has an unexplicably pleasant mood and I guess I can sorta see how someone can find something to like here even if I don't think this is for me.
Sengoku Collection 1/2-ish
To be fair, I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to brave this one but I just had to bail once the dude seemed to be genuinely terrified upon seeing a naked female. This is certainly one of those cases were shit is so "anime" it hurts to watch.
Medaka Box 1
Honestly, it might be a combination of watching it directly after bailing on Sengoku and the anti-hype it's been receiving but it didn't strike me as completely terrible. Sure, everything looks garishly colorful, the characters all seem like cardboard cut-outs reciting their lines and I can see Medaka getting on my nerves fast but at least it didn't cause me any major physical pain and I'm also sort of interested in this genre switch everyone keeps bringing up. I'll give it at least a couple more episodes for cosmicbro.
Welcome!

The poster, cards, and booklet. I'm guessing that stuff won't be in the re-release.
The last Oreimo set on eBay sold for $600, ugh. I am glad I bought this when I did, though.Wow at the people prices for the Baccano blu ray on amzn...
Oreimo is like the Joe Mauer of anime.
Injured, disappointing, and not nearly worth what's being paid?

Sheeeet, I added it to the list after that Centurion charge gif!
Awesome, glorious, and unfairly derided.
369$ for 13 episodes of anime?

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Sankarea 01
So Kodaka apparently got tired of trying to make real friends and decided to look for zombies instead. (the main character is Kodaka's seiyuu, if that's what you're wondering) His hair makes him look like a cat though. It's weird.
Wanko is too awesome a girl to actually "win" sadly. ;_; Which is why it sucks that this isn't a Shaft show, because then I could have made a funny joke like "Shaft proves once again that childhood friends always get the shaft!" or something. >>;
But apparently the main girl is Sanka Rea, a rich girl who can't live a normal life and who's father has hobbies that outta get him thrown in jail. He's apparently the school principle, but I'm going to lie and say he's the school dean because this is from Studio Deen. *badum tish*
And dat end... what?

If Oreimo is any indication, that boxset is going to be worth a stupid amount of money later when its OOP.
I never thought of this stuff as an investment, but it actually could be.
I mean, that guy wasnt kidding when he said Oreimo was selling for 600$. Here it is listed for $650!!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Oreimo-DVD-...?pt=US_DVD_HD_DVD_Blu_ray&hash=item46028c5495
this is some terrifying news

Dearest NeoGAF,
I have completed my viewing of the first episode in the Medaka Box series. I hope to get used to this anime style as quickly as possible and enjoy all it has to offer. But... I'm surrounded by characters that quite frankly, irritate the living shit out of me, and I'm kind of freaking out. The designs are not to my taste, the monologues are boring and this blue haired delinquent appears to be able to fly. At least the boobs are bouncy.
From your loving son,
- CheckeredKnight.
Mood whiplash is nearly always a bad thing.
I'm halfway between smelling a job opportunity and being really, really happy that the pirates will have a definitive version to retorrent that isn't mine.

Accel World 1
Nice pick up from viz, hope it does well to get a dub and blu ray release. Kuroyukihime and Haru are an awesome team, love their interactions already. He's actually a really cool main both in pig form, in whatever form shown at the end, and off the grid form. Hes like a combination of all the good points of Shion and Shu. Shes also awesome too, surprisingly. Taku too, hope hes also in the world. The graphics were compelling as was the world and plot.
