As someone who mostly buys old things, Night on the the Galactic Railroad and Robot Carnival shall be MINE!

They also want to see if people would be willing to pre-order to have sets for older, more obscure anime made. My answer was "HELL YES!" I mean, what if they get Ryosuke Takahahsi stuff or, Legend of the Galactic Heroes? I've always said my money would be there so fast! (except for Panzer World Galient, which I found ungodly boring) It wouldn't be like Kickstarter or Sols where you could get cool extra goodies, it'd just be a DVD set really, but since I mostly go for "just the DVD set" anyways, no biggie for me.

Give me all of LotGH and you'll be my new favorite company, Discotek.

May be tempted to go after Free! once Rightstuf has it up for pre-order. Will wait out for that time for now.

Oho, sweetness! I really want Mazinger Z! Is it even possible for me to avoid buying something from the director of both Giant Robo and Mobile Fighter G Gundam? No, it is not. Not only that, but $50 for all 26 eps? Sold sold soooo sold! It's so hard to justify paying $40 for 13 eps (on sale even at RightStuf), but $50 MSRP for all of it, meaning cheaper elsewhere? This is why I love Discotek so damn much. Even if Rakuten is wrong on price and it's a bit higher, it's still a great deal.

Not surprising, probably issues with the James Bond movie of the same title.

It has something to do with the Mazinger copyright. They don't want to call it Mazinger Z.

WTK: Go Nagai owns both, but I imagine Toei registered the Mazinger Z anime here, so...
