Eyeing things in the Right Stuf sale. I am test running some things on their youtube page (it did help me flat out say "no thank you, I'll stick with the manga" on Princess Knight), but still want more input:
Kimba-had no eps on youtube in this case. I actually don't think most of the old Tezuka TV series I've seen are that good (even if the Astro Boy manga is good), debating if I should hope DMP adds Kimba on their kickstarter or something? Or has anyone seen this? I did see the 90s movie and enjoyed it well enough. Sound of the Sky-saw and enjoyed ep 1 and the atmosphere. Hoping it'll be more than cute girls with trumpets though. Dirty Pair-it's no secret that I like 80s scifi and I quite enjoyed the two eps that were on there. Hoping it won't be too formulaic in the end mostly. Also, not sure if I should get the TV or the OVA or what. I might ask more opinions after more test runs methinks. I already have Rose of Versailles and Cobra (both of which people should get from this sale, Cobra for people who like that sort of thing, and everyone needs Rose of Versailles, plain and simple) |

There is more to it than that, although that is a big part of what I liked about it. The characters have depth, but little time is spend on development. Most of them have backgrounds(some more tragic than others) which are explored. It has a proper ending, although it seems to come out of nowhere because of the lack of plot during most of the episodes. Looks like the LE version is sold out, too bad it's a really nice set. |

To be fair, I still did think about picking the show up especially for the LE. It does have a certain appeal. But after some deliberation it just doesn't have rewatch value for me. Its too constrained by its genre of cute moe girls, which is too bad because it has a good setting, attractive characters, and really nice background art. |

Hmm, then based on One-Eye's comment, I'll probably skip Sound of the Sky and watch it when their youtube page puts the whole series up in rotation.
I do think I want Dirty Pair though, I'm on another 80s binge to put it lightly. |

Anyone know if there's a difference between Funimations and ADV's release of Project Blue Earth SOS? They are around the same price either way. Just wanted to see if one was better in some way.

Another Sentai sale. I never seem to order anything from them though, but they have been releasing some old anime, and that pleases me. But it's old anime I'm not sure on.
So, 70s Casshan opinions? Gatchaman? Ghost Sweeper Mikami? And are any worth getting Bluray? It doesn't seem worth it for older shows to me, since they were never native HD. Also, I have no Battle of the Planets or G-Force nostalgia, Gatchaman has to stand on its own with no nostalgia to help. And I've never seen either Discotek's Casshan OVA or Funi's Casshern Sins. |

I think they may have not included the ADV extras with the newer release of SOS. I don't think they did with Utawarerumono either. Standard practice I guess. Xamd be licensed.

These are so cool, obviously counterfeit, but so cool
I have not seen an official product with queen size sheets and pillows most japanese sleep on little twin beds or on the ground |

^Counterfeit or doujin? There are plenty of circles selling unofficial dakimakura covers, so why not a bedset?

I'm considering buying Steins;Gate based on positive reviews and viewing the first episode, but I have one question: is there a big difference between watching the Blu-Ray version versus DVD? My parents own a Blu-Ray player but I don't (plan to in future), so I lean more towards buying the DVD version.

there's a complete classics blu-ray set coming out soon that's fairly inexpensive. i haven't seen the series but am waiting for that to come out.

A_mystery it depends on your television resolution
what kind of TV do you have? bluray is noticeably better for everything except watching TV shows over 5 years old. however, buying a bluray and watching it at your parents house once is kind of silly. rent it or get a funimation.com subscription and watch it in HD. the first thing you need is a good TV, dont buy any videos until you have that taken care of. Bluray players are cheap now. |

@A Mystery
It depends on which country's version you are buying. If you are buying the US version you don't have to make a choice since they are Funimation combo packs and contain both Blu-ray and DVD. I'm not familiar with what European versions are available. If you have a DVD only version available, I'd buy that. You don't want the show to pass its expiration date before you get to watch it. |

Yeah my parents do have a good tv but I don't, I'll go for the DVD version then! Thnx!
Here it's either DVD or Blu-ray, so no combo packs. Plus side: they have a boxset too. |
