It's a reboot with a part in the middle cut-out because the OVAs already covered it.

Yeah, you can see Funi trying out these super deluxe releases though I think the different with Aniplex as Funi usually has a longer delay with stuff.
Viz does seem to be actually coming back and releasing special editions for their releases again. Then again, I usually assumed with Viz not even doing releases.
Sentai will probably keep charging a lot for their barebones releases as usual.

Well, at least you don't have to order it from some funky website that looks like a geocities page.

Just be sure to watch the OVAs (Hoshi no Umi) right after episode 8. Don't go to episode 9 until you've done that.
Noted.
This pricing is like a nostalgia trip for me. Would be even better if FYE was also selling it at $80 per volume
I can't believe I actually used to buy anime from FYE. Now I know better.
...*Looks over at shelf of Death Note DVDs...* I agree with this opinion
Suncoast owned my wallet. Or a vast percentage of it.

Only thing I've ever bought from FYE was when they had the Last Exile DVD box set (w/ mousepad and Alvis figurine) on clearance for $20. I love that series.
I'm still a sad panda that the blu-ray release got canned.
Ha! I remember pre-ordering Dragonball Z VHS tapes from them when I was a kid. Can't wait for those Android Saga videos.
Awww yeah!

did you end up getting FAM?
Oh man Suncoast haha, I bought both seasons of IGPX from there.

I did, actually. I liked it. Not so much as the original, of course. But I thought the series was enjoyable, and the soundtrack above average. Though it was obvious they were attempting to recreate the brilliance of the original series OST while never quite getting there.

Detective Conan 272:
Megure with the solution, even if he needed some hinting from Conan. That's rare enough, so it's worth celebrating. The case was a pretty strange one in general, as it's very unusual for the culprit to only be introduced after they've already been figured out, but it worked for this particular case (and the two episodes were really more about Jodie being suspicious and Ran being clueless about romance related stuff).
And then that ending scene with Vermouth. So good.
Yeah, I spent way too much money on anime DVDs (and VHS before that) at Suncoast back in my high school days.

NOOOOOOOOO, after the Suzu-tan arc I was hoping they wouldn't try to make it an action show anymore. It was so bad when it tried, but when it was Persona Social Links the animation it was entertaining.

LOL paying list-price. But there weren't a hell of a lot of options at the time.

There really wasn't. At least for me, the options were go to Suncoast which had amazing selection, go to Best Buy which had crummy selection, and then there were a handful of anime DVDs in fye located along with the porn and wrestling tapes. At least circa 2002 or so, those were the only real options available where I lived.
Things improved a lot after that when more online options started popping up and I actually had a card so I could order things from the internet (plus trips to conventions helped in that regard). But there was a good chunk of time where $30 at Suncoast was the best option.

Hi Cajun, nice to meet you
Cajun banned so long the juniors don't even know his name, haha.

I actually agree with this. I don't care for the shonen action aspects. I'd rather just watch a show about magical kids who nutted the fuck up and told each other the truth.

White Album 2 12
Yes, because you blaming yourself over actually acting on your feelings instead of playing the silent game with the other two dimwits is bad.
Should have just kept your mouth shut and waited until they confessed to each other because your just the third wheel and never tried fighting for your love.
Fucking Bullshit.
And why does Haruki get no repercussion after last episode? Spends like two minutes in a bed saying sorry before the skip to see him ditching Setsuna. Someone should have at least knocked him down with a good punch to the head.
Siiiiiiiiiiigh
Not even trying to say I'm a patron either, since I'm actually okay with how it ends. Yes, Setsuna is alone in her room, probably crying her eyes out and Haruki really doesn't deserve any goodwill after these past two episodes. But Touma is happy and I'm like finding it hard to stay mad after seeing that smile of hers.
Almost curse her for being best girl.
Crap, I really need to get around to watching episode 13 of this. I kind of completely forgot. This pretty much echoes my feelings on this episode, though!

After reading the synopsis of what the second season might be, I'm going to pretend the show ends here. All that melodrama is too much for me.

Hi Cajun, nice to meet you
Mushishi Special
This was great. It was twice the length of a normal episode, yet felt so short. The Soundtrack is as beautiful as ever, the scenery is even more detailed and... green! I don't know if I can wait another 3 months for the next season.
I need more Mushishi! Now! >_<
Nice to meet you as well! Welcomd to animegaf!
*hands you a penguin
Oh Im certainly Louisianian lol. My sleeping pattern isnt one lol.
I just sleep when I run out of squee energy. Literally.
As it turns out, Touma is actually a robot assassin. Setsuna sacrifices herself to save Haruki, at which points Haruki turns into a hermit, train for seven years, and then comes back with superpowers. He fights Touma, but at the last moment Touma activates her nuclear self-destruct mechanism, destroying the world.
Thankfully, many schools in Japan still have lead paint in the walls, protecting the school from the destruction of the world. Society begins to reform around these schools, and the Kiryuin family begins to rise to dominance...
That was a bit frustrating. One of them better do it next episode. Otherwise I liked the episode, even if I tend to like it more when its just 'wizard high school'.
I was relatively happy with the end, both the anime end and the VN end. Much better than the trainwreck I expected and what tends to happen with anime of this sort. And I was a bit surprised two pretty obvious paths were never used (one of them being a dopey fanservicey end).

The show ends with a grizzled buff bearded Haruki, one arm now entirely mechanic, looking down on the apocalyptic japan from a hill. He glances at a nearby woman being attacked by a group of zombie mecha thieves. But as he approaches the scene to help out, he realizes that the woman is actually an evil Touma clone. Also the thieves are Touma clones as well. His mechanical arm transforms into a chainsaw/shotgun as an 80's bass starts playing in the background. He then softly whispers
"Hey mecha Touma SHOTGUN!
It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day for a WHITE ALBUUUUUUUUM..."
The show fades to black. AOTY.
Wait, what's happening with yamato publishing? This is criminal negligence or something, right?

It sold practically no discs, though I have to believe the producers expected that to happen.

Tall girls are the loveliest, like Sakaki. WCW is sort of medicore but Kagari UNF UNF, plus that ED is stuck in my head forever.
What made it worse was the clip show of stuff that would happen later. -.-

Yeah, the bigger thing they probably would have been looking for was an effect on manga sales. I'm unsure if there was anything to speak of in that department.

Hamatora Episode 1
Hamatora PI agency with these minimum holder users is a unique and fun premise. The agency situation itself with just a nice mix of friends feels like a family right off and all are easily warm and welcoming with their own quirks and unique personality. I cant wait to see what other duo and trio setups are used as we go further specifically I would want to see BIrthday, Murasaki and Nice team up and maybe some Nice and Birthday as well and at one point some Nice and Art which ought to be a good one (and for them isnt that Valvraves Haruto and L-elf duo by voice actor grouping).
Birthday is a favorite Nice too, and then everyone else is good. Looking forward to more and great colour design and usage for Minimum Holder moments. Final one with nice was quite mindblowing.
