^Ok, cus for a second there, I was thinking "but i have the complete collection, I didn't get a soundtrack with it!" but that makes a lot more sense. I got both me #1 and my complete series from TRSI (got the Legends set first, though it was actually through them on Amazon)

Gall Force: Destruction, Gall Force: Earth Chapter, Gall Force: New Era-Earth Chapter is quite expensive (if you can find it). I was very lucky to find my copy for $10 used last year which led me to get the rest of the series. I've been pretty lucky in my anime collecting over the years-things like The Story Of Saiunkoku, Maison Ikkoku.

(Even though Gall Force is really not very good, and I don't know why it makes SA's list at all, to be honest.) |

I have a certain nostalgic attachment to Gall Force: Eternal Story. It was an old regular in the Sci-Fi Channel's Saturday Anime rotation. It was one of the things that I wrote about in my the first of my many contributions to the "What Are You Watching Now" thread. My interest in seeing the rest, which isn't especially keen, is just strange curiosity and completionism.
I should put that on my list, but I keep forgetting it for whatever reason. Your description of what... uh... undergirds his art is very... striking. |

A question for the people talking about Fantastic Children: about how big is the special edition artbox? Can you fit the complete collection inside it? I'm planning to get the SE for the soundtrack, and if the artbox is usable in that way, that would be a sweet, sweet bonus.

Alas, no. The special edition box is pretty ordinary cardboard and large enough only for the DVD and CD cases within. It's one of those questionable special editions that Bandai seemed uniquely fond of. As with Scrapped Princess, no artbox to hold the entire series was ever released. |

Aww, sadness. I guess you can't have everything. Thanks for the info. |

For North America that would a correct. An artbox was released in Australia (for the same amount of singles). Not my picture (it's the top right corner one). To the left is Planets (another series that BEI never released an artbox for, but Madman did). |

Once again the complete collection/Anime Legends (as in the non special edition) also has the soundtrack included. I know this because that is the version I bought and it included the soundtrack. It was not just in the special edition. http://www.amazon.com/Fantastic-Children-Artist-Not-Provided/dp/B00126809O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361806938&sr=8-1&keywords=fantastic+children That being said at this point the singles might even be cheaper than the Anime Legends set. |

Me too! How weird. I too also got the 1st season a week or so ago from RightStuf, but am still waiting on S2. Here's hoping they can dig up a few more copies. |

You are really leading people on here. As noted a couple posts ago, you won't get the OST unless the new copy is specially marked with a sticker on the shrinkwrap (stating that's included). Your chance is working against you on a copy without a specially marked sticker (think of the Geneon lottery releases, particularly the singles). |

Not that I don't believe you but that sounds strange to randomly put the OST in some box sets and not others. It's not like I was purposely leading people on I was going by my own experiences (I didn't see your other post). And if it is in random boxes then all it takes is to ask. TRSI especially has good customer service. |

Wolf's Rain, it doesn't seem to be too expensive as of yet (I could even get the singles for cheap).
But I have a question, disc 4, that's the infamous recaps, right? If I were to say, not buy that disc, any big deal there? Just get 1-3, 5-7? Would I even notice an entire disc is missing? |

^ Nope. IIRC, there is only ~10 sec of new animation in 1 out of those 4 eps, and it's missable. It 'reveals' something about the first ep that I considered obvious, but I can see how someone would miss it. Even if a person didn't connect the dots on their own, it isn't a significant event so there's nothing lost. Not having that one disc would drive me crazy personally (completionist), but story-wise there is no reason to own it or watch it.
