Haha, those are out-of-print premium collector's prices though.
The set was only a $1000 back when it came out.
(It's just two boxes, not three. Then the movies came out individually later.)
It also explains why it repeats 8 times in the season, because they needed to delay the timeline so they wouldn't be forced to do Disappearance during the series proper

I had to import the R1 Pioneer DVDs USED at roughly $35 per disc (not including postage) because the asshats in Contender decided to troll the UK plebeians by only releasing Cardcaptors over here.
Just look at this, it's like something you'd get free with a magazine;
The unexpected is that
we've taken all the good stuff out!

Same here. Huge stack of singles all plastic-wrapped together.
I wound up selling it off (

Mugen no Ai full version is pretty interesting especially the ending two minutes, though funny.
Kokuhaku is nice instrumental, and Kimi no Shinwa keeps going, nice.
Hm, I like Harukaze too. (tears everytime I hear it since its the last bleach op, just two more episodes)

Yeah, as someone who also watched this pretty recently, I also thought I should have watched it sooner. Most of my compliments were pretty similar. Glad to have finally got around to watching this anime though.
Nujabes and Fat Jon for life.
Omfg I was cringing so hard for the first 7 minutes of Ano Natsu 10 that I had to turn it off. Shit fucking sucked.
Edit: Okay finished the rest somehow (Thankfully it got a lot better!)

A roller coaster of emotions, but everything that happened was pretty average romance fluff. I was hoping it would deviate a little bit, because taking the safest path every time pisses me off.
Vampire Princess Miyu - 25
It's funny because in the previous episode, the death flags were raised then right at the start of this episode it starts off cutting through the bullshit and telling it straight.
For the life of me I don't understand what made me a naive optomist for the end (wasn't expecting a good end per se, just not an as depressing end), clearly I hadn't been watching Vampire Princess Miyu for the last 24 episodes.
I take it you were on team should-have-seen-it-coming, and the knife was slowly being twisted?

No that wasn't it.. all the romance/comedy stuff they were trying to do was so painfully embarrassing that I couldn't help but constantly cringe. I'd have liked it if they kept the

Yeah I know. Cliche and boring as hell, but she's beautiful and not super high maintenance.
If we're talking actual human women, then either
Funny how they look identical when you put them side by side like that. I guess I just like short hair and glasses.
Short hair with glasses works. It works very very well.
Even better with cat ears :3
Nah man, nodoka is on another level from friendzone.
Ah, I can understnd those sentiments, it also goes a ways to understanding why most of these type of shows would have had resolved all this stuff in the last episode.
I can't remember that, but as a substitute she does do cat ear drunken meido.

Thats a nice set. I'm pretty happy with the DVDs. I can't see worth a shit anyway.
It's pretty amazing how fast the prices skyrocket when things go out of print. That's what keeps me buying.

I like the sound of that! :3
True, if I could only pick one of them I'd go Nodoka.
Sadly no. :/ Only failing of the show thus far.
Yeah, NTV owns... it literally owns MADHOUSE (http://www.ntv.co.jp/english/an/index_04su.html), produces the show, and basically pays with its own money for a time-slot on its own channel!
I see it as showing a bit of their self-pride, more than anything else.
fuck those numbers man... 42,000?
I can't remember that, but as a substitute she does do cat ear drunken meido.
HNGGGGGGGGGGGH
err... i think they do it on a barter basis.

Gundam Age 22
Epic episode
Asemu really needs to step it up, Commander Zehearto is just too advanced for him and Age-2. Or I guess hes not up to par to handle Age-2 to its fullest.
For mobile suits, Khronos is my favorite followed by Zeydra and then then Zedas R (only in flight). Gen 2 really favors the Vegans.
Epic episode
Flit actually got involved in the Age 1 and even Desil too, so glad their fight still extends to another gen. I hope Desil beats him in the future.

And probably they are paying MADHOUSE workers right now with instant noodles and cigarette packets, SHAFT style.

How is he so epic? But we got Tadakuni.

Daily Lives of Literary Girl ep 10
One thing good about this show is how they break the fourth wall, tadakuni being commented and he try to sound abnormal in the sponsor credits. And how they always followed up on the previous events.
Oh man,this episode is gooood. Tons of Literary girl and she has a crush on Hidenori,Hidenori is a ladies man. Did they purposely time the mochi eating skit with Gintama on the same week?

Duckroll hype redeemed.
One of this show's best attributes is it's nice pacing.
I don't even understand what this means.
Oh god, the horror....THE HORROR!
This was always a joke among my friends. Even as children we knew it was terrible.
You know how you regret starting the :cajun thing?? Yeah...

Really entertaining series, glad I chose this as my first series to watch from the winter season. Although there are some misses on the skits, especially the high school girls, but for the most part there have been a lot of hits and I really can't get enough of the student council and literary girl. =)

My roommates showed me just this tiny scene and it sold me on Ano Natsu.
Drunk Kanna with cat ears is, I'm pretty sure, one of the greatest creations in anime history. I have to keep watching though to verify this.
Do you ever worry it might be too easy for the people who know you to manipulate you?
Mugen Shinshi: Dream Dimension Gentleman
So a kid detective (sound familiar?) who also happens to be the greatest detective EVER! Is tasked with finding out who is responsible for the recent string of famous female kidnappings. Well, that doesnt exactly light any fire for me; it seems pretty standard for a detective story. Still, I figure Ill give it a shot.
(2 min in) . You had me at flying Egyptian alligator headed men!
Overall, the art was not impressive (Tezuka-esque), the plot was very standard, and the mystery was not all that interesting. The show seems to fit as a predecessor to Detective Conan, its interesting, but little more than that.
If you are a fan of detective stories then you will probably enjoy it. The OVA sadly does not live up to it's amazing title.

Lit Gurl! Lit Gurl everywheeere. Or should I say..
More anime could use a plethora of vicious, rabid, terrible teenage girls like Yanagin, Lit. Girl and Ringo.
And again, as always, Karasawa is the freakin' man.
