The tin box was the "shut up and take my money" feature for me, really. That and the fact it was directed by Tatsuo Sato (or "that guy who did Nadesico").
From what I've seen so far it's a really good show and I'd highly recommend it to anyone here. Except possibly Jexhius, it's not masochistically bad enough for his tastes.
Toothbrushing was clearly more relevant.

Sometime around episode 7 or 8 of Nise. The legend continues to this day.
Niceeee. I'm super jelly but good stuff on the pickup...
I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT

Yeah. Now I don't doubt that they are going to finish this on the 'cour'. Next week, at this rate...
the return of Kiss-Shot!
Yeah I kind of saw the box with the first disc and was like...hmmm..cute show in space, Nadesico guy, hnnng characters, pretty blue tin box- SOLD
Then I realized it fit 8 volumes and I was like ;_;
Angela's music in the series is stellar. Really really good stuff.
If youd like a copy of it, two of the songs can be found on this CD:

Well now they're just taking the piss.
What!? My Stellvia discs didn't come with a box!
Of course I did buy them years later on clearance...
I thought it was the natural progression of things.
Got to stay innovative or others will catch up.
It was a special edition release of the first volume--first disc, tin box, four double-disc thinpaks to hold the rest of the series. You then bought the rest of the regular releases and transferred the discs from the 'normal' cases to the thinkpak ones.
Sort of a unique space-saving solution as far as anime releases went, but a ton of wasted packaging.
(And the 8 Volume DVD releaeses--BA:V, Escaflowne, Evangelion DVD version 1--got nothing on the glory days of VHS. Want Evangelion? 13 volumes!)

Awesome, I'll be picking this up for sure. The music in general has been top drawer, but the songs in particular.
Anime >>>> Games = Anime CD's >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Food, water, rent, presents for loved ones. Life is good.
EDIT: Wait what? I don't remember Evangelion being on 13 volumes of VHS. That's horrific.
It came in this: http://bilder.hifi-forum.de/max/674229/stellvia_130452.jpg
Image is too big to post here but it gives a clear view of what it looks like. Its a nice case all things considered but like the above said its wasted packaging because you have to transfer everything to thipacks.
Even the DVD set of Ranma is gigantic. Luckily a fellow Gaffer just made acquiring the entire collection a LOT easier.

Wow. Somebody's taking baths in Ranma 1/2 VHS tapes every night feeling very angry and possibly vengeful.
Glad I skipped the VHS era (aside from a few Yu Yu Hakusho tapes and assorted movies)
[Nisemonogatari]
(I wonder about their plans for the following books, now that they've adapted one of them in merely four episodes.)
Yup... I think one more episode wouldn't have hurt, here. Kaiki and Kagenui's scenes were pretty damn short (even if, yes, it's just people talking... nothing new, there, really!).

A version we haven't seen yet, too!

Neogaf is an article?
Sailor Moon 7
Everyone gets brainwashed (again!) and wants to become a star. I must say, my favorite pair was the policeman and his buddy....
No one was impressed by Umino's performance, though.
Listening to Usagi and Naru sing the OP was great, even if
Anyway, next episode, this mysterious character appears! I wonder who she could be!

the result was somewhat excruciating.

Very interesting observations! How would you say this episode compares to episode 7 of Ultimate Girl? I mean on a thematical and symbolic level?
This thread is a very reputable source you know.

Which reminds me, if SHAFT ever needed someone to do live-action head-tilting they'd need to team up with this guy. He sure does love to lean and bend at awkward angles:
Yep pretty much.
Most of my U.S. discs are from clearance sales.
It really wasn't until Blu-ray happened that I got excited about video and started drinking the kool-aid and buying Japanese releases at $400/12 episodes.
Also internet streaming allowing me to preview stuff and become a fan of it before the Japanese release is out, rather than blind-buying U.S. releases years later.
Those Fujioshi must really love this franchise.
It's ok envelope. It will all be over soon!
Somehow it looks like she should be dead.
It's really good, a lot of its fanbase seems to be children (duh), but as you said pedophiles seem to like it as well.
She already is?
I wouldn't say pedophiles....
Uh, that fanbase likes the traps.
Well they are children, and if these people are sexually attracted to the characters.. It mostly depends on if you find being attracted to a young looking drawn character traits of pedophilia.
Males seem to like the traps, there are a lot of females that don't dress them up as girls.
What the hell am I looking at
Uh, you do also know one's the seme and the other is the uke, right?
You are witnessing a revolution!!
Can we add this one to the list that includes people who spell yaoi yoai?
I guess because I've never watched any Inazuma Eleven I had no idea it was a fangirl fave. Then again, non-ugly character designs + team bonding usually leads to fangirls - witness OoFuri, for instance.
I actually watched some anime today. It was only Ano Natsu episode 1, which was much better than I thought it would be, but still... must every plot and relationship development be signposted by the first episode of a romantic comedy like this? You immediately know who likes who and the plot developments are incredibly predictable because of the whole premise of the show. Is it too much to ask for to have at least a modicum of suspense in an anime romance these days?
Explain, I don't know much about Yaoi.
Speaking of which....
Ultimate Girls 8
Naked crotchless lolis, yuri, and a buddha monster.
Vivienne is the best character in this thing.
The things I read in this thread sometimes...

I would encourage you to keep watching, Ano Natsu is quite aware of the standard cliches of anime romcoms, and and even if it doesn't mix up the formula too much, it still feels fresh.
What? I had to honestly search these words up and first thing it sent me to was Yaoi related material. I have never heard these things in my life.
I like Vivienne too.
Silk is kind of boring and loligirl is...scary.
Well the whole show is scary in general. But AWESOME.
Don't you think?
