Three sets, yes. I don't know what the exact numbering is per season, but it would be something like: S1: 25 eps. S2: 25 eps. S3: 23 eps. And they would be brand new transfers from the Digi-Beta masters. |

Here's another question:
Would you want any bonus features? If you do, what kinds of bonus features would you like? |

Monster Rancher? I can't believe there are others that remember it, or even know about it! I used to watch Monster Rancher when I was a kid and looked forward to watching it every weekend. I had the first DVD release by ADV too. If Monster Rancher gets released, I'd say yes, I would buy it, but I have to catch up with some other anime first. Dang, anime can get expensive.

Oh wow. I was just thinking that I never saw the end of this show. Weird Coincidence.
I think I would buy it. Especially at the price/format you're talking about. I still think the entire concept is really cool. I keep meaning to pick up one of the games too. I thought the cd system was awesome when I was a kid. |

I've been in the market for some of the hand held games for this series for a while now; if I'm not mistaken, they use a similar system to the CD data collection algorithm, but with random character sets. That CD system was so innovative!

Same with me! My brother and I happened to get Monster Rancher 2 when our dad bought us a PS2, and it was awesome! |

Let me ask a couple new questions now:
If a "new" episode would air weekly on Hulu, starting from the release of the first DVD set, would you buy the DVD sets or watch it online? And would this make you want to buy only the first season, and finish watching it on Hulu, or would you still buy the whole series? (To clarify, one new episode would be available each week, and the entire series would end up being available. If you didn't want to wait, you'd have to buy the DVD set to finish the series quicker.) |

Well I honestly tend to marathon shows, especially shonen shows. I like to watch like 7 or 8 eps at a time and depending on the length of a show, finish it within a week or so having a few marathons sessions, preferably on back to back days. I actually don't tend to watch shows until they've completed airing unless the show is entirely episodic.
I'd simply be more likely to buy it just because of the convenience of having DVDs and not having ads in the middle of the episode, even if the entire thing is up online. Though streaming would be great for people who have never seen the show or heard of it (maybe they became more recent anime fans or something). Maybe after it's been out for a while, like a fair enough time to give for people to finish the series, then perhaps it could be cut down to 4 or 5 episodes online where you'd then have to buy the DVDs to see the rest, I've seen quite a few series do that online. Or maybe rotate out the seasons, I think hulu rotates episodes for Firefly while always having the pilot up. For me, I tend to get distracted on the internets, so watching online is usually what I only do if I really have no other options. I actually did do this already with Mysterious Cities of Gold, I watched maybe around 12 episodes online and ended up just buying the DVD set for my convenience (y'know, before it went OOP), even though all the episodes were up on hulu. Still not sure if this would make me get the whole thing or just the first season, the first season itself and how much I like it will determine that. If I like it, I'll get the rest of the DVDs. If I think it's so-so because nostalgia failed me, then I'd be more likely to only buy the first season and maybe watch it online. |

I am on a slow Internet connection myself, so DVD is often a better option, but if Hulu is available I would certainly look at watching it online. We are only talking a legitimate, licensed release of it on Hulu, correct? Not at all trying to be rude of course!

Just give me it all on DVD as it aired on Fox Kids and I'll be happy.
Oh and if you could get cracking on 'mankin' and Ultimate Muscle, that'd be awesome too. |

To be quite honest, I don't think I'd buy Monster Rancher on DVD. I watched it, I liked it, but I don't have ant great nostalgia pangs for it. Techincally, I have like 8 episodes on DVD anyway. I bought a disc at the dollar store- on clearance for 50 cents- a couple years ago. Haven't watched it yet.
Now, if you got Mon Colle Knights out for $30ish for a 26 episode chunk, I'd be all over that. Or any reasonably priced re-released of Ronin Warriors. (I personally try not to think of hypotheticals like this too much... they make me want things I can't have.) |

I certainly have to agree with Ronin Warriors as well; that's a rerelease I would look forwards to, though I am on board for Monster Rancher.

I'm a bit confused on how you'd make an uncut Monster Rancher release. The English dub was edited, and thus just laying it over the Japanese video will result in problems (with scenes that weren't dubbed). You could use branching, but that hurts image quality.
