Dragon Ball Z: Dragon Box - Volume 7, along with Dirty Pair OVA Collection arrived today.

So that completes the Dragon Box series, now all I have to do is find some time to watch all the episodes. I've never been able to do that, it's always been in bits & patches. Thankfully, the Dragon Boxes come with "Perfect Guide" which should make this easier.

Now, the Dirty Pair OVA. I love 80's OVAs and this being my first time in this thread it is good timing reading some of the recent posts talking about this subject.

There is something else about this release. I've purchased from Nozomi their of Dirty Pair TV series, and even though there were only three discs in each set, they were came in a slim DVD which were housed in a nice box. Disappointedly, the OVA set the has three discs which come in a lacklustre Amoray DVD case.

I wonder if Nozomi were disappointed with the sales of the TV series and maybe even lost money on them, and they don't see the point in releasing the set in a nice package like the TV series.

Or am I reading to much into this?


Peace

Thanks for the suggestions. Your list is a blend of things I love as dearly as life itself (Gunbuster) or just really enjoyed (Macross Plus, Giant Robo,...), and things that shall be promoted in my to-see list (Fight! Iczer 1).
And GoaGaiGar. Really?


If you have not watched FINAL yet, DO IT NOW. RIGHT NOW. GO WITH OATH SWORN THROUGH COURAGE, RIGHT NOW!!!

I ordered the Berserk remastered collection from rightstuf, but its status it: We'll get it for you!

What happened? I could have sworn that just last month it was everywhere, and now it's nowhere. Prices on Amazon have soared.

Yay! ef ~ a tale of melodies blu-ray just arrived. I'll be cracking into that tonight after work. Very Happy

Re: Media Blasters. I'm watching my Squid Girl Blu-ray order, wondering if it will ship on time. It's due out in two weeks. A delay wouldn't surprise me.

Rurouni Kenshin Profiles

Barnes & Noble had a Leap Day coupon sent out to members :3
I'm actually surprised this one is still on the market new for its list price.

My orders of Afro Samurai and Claymore on blu-ray arrived a week before Ga-rei: Zero did. I am still waiting on Outlaw Star Perfect Collection, though that still has an estimated delivery date anywhere from now to 09 March.

Of course with every paycheck comes another purchase. I finally ordered Cowboy Bebop Remix: Complete Collection along with Eureka Seven vol. 1 through 6, limited edition where applicable. Bebop and Eureka Seven vol. 1 through 3 were ordered from Amazon, while vol. 4 through 6 were ordered from TRSI. I'm thinking that I'll order 7 through 12 on or around 15 March.
