Rather smug of them to take what was a Funi release and amp up the cost by nearly $100. No wonder many dreaded when Funi's rights to Aniplex titles expired and AoA would distribute them at premium pricing.


And to think, those titles are the lucky ones that actually see continuing availability in NA. Others, like Paradise Kiss, Kamichu!, Sekirei, Hell Girl, Spiral, and King of Bandit Jing seem destined for the scrap heap of obscurity.

*Sits in a corner and cries over prices for March Comes in Like a Lion sets* Why must being an anime collector be so painful?


I just preordered March Comes in Like a Lion Set 2 from Anime Limited a few minutes ago. If you have a region free Blu-Ray player, I highly recommend going this route. I bought both sets for less than the price of one by Aniplex. It's saying a lot that importing a series is significantly less expensive than buying locally.

I really should get on that because it bites missing the boat on properly owning anime like Monster due to not having a region free player.

Eyeing I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. Have interest in the second Heaven's Feel movie, but think will hold off on snagging it until the third movie in the trilogy comes out.

Really disappointed that Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Sempai is not getting a dub and even so they want that much for it?

Bleh. On the one hand, glad to see Zoku finally up for grabs. On the other hand, $60 for it when the Natsume movie and Pancreas only set me back $40 a pop? Yeesh. Might have to hold off on it until after the New Year or income tax time.

Kill la Kill doesn't seem to come in a chipbox, but probably one of their paper boxes which may end up being a deal breaker for me. What can I say at $160 I expect minimum a chipbox.

@One-Eye

If the presence or absence of a chipboard box is a deal breaker, you probably didn't like the show well enough to buy it either way.

I mean, the point of buying a show on Bluray is to have a more or less permanent copy. It is nice if it also looks good on a shelf, but that should be a secondary consideration. Cool
