Another option for some would be singles bundle via TRSI...

Ooh, shiny, Nighthead Genesis, I already have the series, but I quite enjoyed it to be quite honest. It starts off a bit slow, and with a lot of "nii-san" going on, but I think it's worth sticking out the first few eps for sure. For some reason, at Otakon, I noticed NHG in the "yaoi" section, which made no sense to me as the series isn't yaoi in the slightest (the two characters on the cover are brothers for one thing, and I can't think of any other yaoi stuff going on)

There is now no reason for people to not get Step Up Love Story (Futari Ecchi). Seriously, everyone needs to get on that.

I guess there's also no reason for me to keep stalling on Strawberry Panic. Loved it years ago, but I've been hesitant on grabbing it.

All of this is, of course, assuming Media Blasters will still be around when it's June.


It's futari and ecchi that's a good enough reason to not get it.

Yeah, seeing how this one's dubbed, it could just be the first season. But if it was the real Complete Collection, it would be a bargain or at least something worth getting. It's not great but amusingly, almost ironically, I enjoyed it more than Ah! My Goddess Seasons 1 and 2 combined. Come to think on it, it's worth that price just for the last episode of season 2 alone.

If it's the full series.
If it's released...

The other ones, I hated the endings. Simoun had a great story, characters, animation and music just to be ruined by an ending that, well, ended. Everything. I could start a whole thread on just how it went wrong...

Strawberry Panic? Ruined by one word: spoiler[Onee-sama. Stupid fan voted pairings. They didn't even involve the most interesting characters for some reason.] Still, it had one of the funniest gags that I've ever seen in an anime so I didn't regret watching it.

Step Up Love Story. I saw it or maybe I should say "I saw it?" It was what it was, not much. When Part two was released, I had to check to see if I had watched Part one.

Otoboku: It really tried too hard and failed too hard but it has a good cast and the Omake episode really is funny. Note to writers and producers: If you want to make a cross-dressing romantic comedy, you don't need ghosts as you already have enough of a hook to set yourself apart from the rest. Also, you may want to focus on the "romance" part. Oh, and the "comedy" part.

And, sigh, the "cross dressing" part.

Already have the Ah My Buddha singles that MB put out so I do not need to buy it again. Already own and trying to get rid of Doujin Work since I did not like it or find it that funny. Nothing else really interests me.

TRSI has fixed the running time. This is listed to be a re-release of the Nirvana Collection (the last release).

For Media Blasters to list titles for September releases seems... aspirational.

In the headlong race between MB's aspirations and its expiration, I'll put my money on the latter.

Guess I've waited long enough, Looks like it could be time to start picking up whatever MB titles I've been procrastinating on.

Guess this means I'm gonna have to hunt down Fushigi Yugi on VHS whenever I get back on my feet financially since Media Blasters seems to still be having its issues and I don't feel like shelling out $150 to get Pioneer's OOP DVD releases.
