Was wondering if any of you folks know anything about a possible second box set coming out to complete the series?
Being a fan of the manga and having heard good things about the anime (want to cheak out the live action series but no joy atm ) was going to get the first box when it came out in dec, but with only half the series in it (+ tshirt oooh) and a rather deceptive image on the tokyopop site that seems to look as if there was going to be space for the other volumes, didn't know if I would have to pick them up seperately. (sorry that sentence just wouldn't end)
Any info would be nice as it's cheaper to pick box sets than individual volumes, especially imports in the uk

I think that they might make it a box for the whole series and then put in just half of it because of the money they could make. If they put half of the series in, and people who were reluctant to by the single dvd's get it, those reluctant people will most likely want to see the rest of the series, so would get the last half of the series for the 30 bucks an anime dvd go's for at most places.
I've pre-ordered mine and i know that I will want to finish the series rather than stop at the end of the first season. I don't think TokyoPop would have had the picture they did unless that was what you were getting. But I'm glad they're at least releasing part of the series for the lower price, that is expected with a boxset, and makes me much less reluctant to pick up the last half of the series, from my local best buy or suncoast.

It may be evil, but it would be a great way to makes some extra profits, I still hope there is a second box, but i think that if someone get's the first box, they'll probally buy the rest of the series, either in another box or the single dvds.

It is but thats playing dirty.
So what if they don't make a second box, then they make 25 dollars extra, if the person can find the dvd's at a good price, or zero if the person won't buy w/out a box. And that could deter customers so it's not such a shrew move when you look at it in the future.

I do hope that there is a second box or at least the option to get the last 5 dvds as a set discounted. Not be thrifty or anything just getting mildly concerned by the amount of money I seem to be spending on anime & manga atm.
Need to invest in a better pc & broadband so could pos cheak out fansubs rather than taking the gamble & buying dvds. Haven't had any amazingly duff purchases yet mainly due to checking out the opinions here and on AnimeOnDVD. Rather drifted off topic there

Heh, I've been buying the DVD's for a while now, so it wasn't too bad on mah wallet.
But please God tell me there are more than 43 episodes. The series can't end there!

There aren't more than 43 episodes, but the manga goes past the end of the anime, and their is an awesome live action series.

since there is going to be a second box set, does anyone have any idea of when it will come out, because if it takes too long i may just get the rest of the dvd's by themselves.
