Until Influenza starts killing you, there's not much to feel. What you normally feel as illness is actually the body's immune response. You don't get a fever because of the invader. The reaction to the invader. While a Vaccine is mostly dead, the body still reacts to it to produce antibodies. Also the success rate of this year's vaccine is 30%, so for many people they stand a good chance of getting a fake flu and a real one. Double Dip on your sick leave from work this winter! |

there's also the fact there's multiple strains of the flu and one flu shot won't cover them all. the yearly vaccinations only cover the ones that are calculated to be the most common and the most likely to hit people the hardest. |

The UK release is region-free (because it's also the Kickstarter release). |

The series I most want a release of is Cross Game, but even though Viz put a subbed version on Hulu for awhile its never gotten a physical release, so I decided not to count it/add it. Paranoia Agent is the big one. I like a couple of the suggestions mentioned like Kamichu! and Dual Parallel Adventures (and I might even double-dip if released again) but those two are still easy to find for good prices on the secondhand market. I should know, after losing my previous copies I had to rebuy them a couple years ago. Paranoia Agent though- every reseller is set to gouge you for every perceived cent of value.

I read the header, and thought one word: "B-ko".
(Or is that two words? Or is that "Most Stubborn Sore Loser"?) As for series rescue, I wouldn't mind seeing a Rumik World rescue (or anything else that disappeared into limbo after AnimEigo once had it), if it would only bring "Maris the Supergal" out of its twenty-year limbo. The others can pretty well go hang. Also, um, Viz, we're finished with Ranma 1/2 now, how about that "We may look at bringing back Maison Ikkoku" thingy we were bragging about at the beginning? And a reasonably competent Sailor Moon-style dub would make a nice reason to bring back Urusei Yatsura...AnimEigo and CPM proved it can be done. |

I would love a licence rescue/ re release of chibi vampire (karin). It is one series I enjoyed, but you can no longer get discs for R1 at least. Also Star Driver would be nice.

I had to choose Windaria--because, to my knowledge, there has never been a proper US release of this film. I would have gone with Evangelion, but the rumor is that it's not gonna happen until after "You can (not) wait 4.44" is released.
And there were too many second-place choices for me: Rune Soldier, Paranoia Agent, Roujin Z (I have a UK Blu of this one), End of Evangelion, Witch Hunter Robin. And I concur with some other shows mentioned in this thread: Dual, They Were Eleven, Karin, Steel Angel Kurumi. To which I'd add Vandread, The Wallflower, Welcome to the NHK, Mahoromatic, and the original Last Exile.

As others have pointed out, it takes a few weeks for the vaccine to fully kick in: The flu shot is available every year at the end of October; Your best bet is to get the flu shot right off and then your body is ready for the season. I don't know why you waited but Thank You for getting it and not being an outright anti-vaxxer. Vaccination is very important and isn't just about your own health: Babies, the sick, and some people for health reasons, can't get vaccinated and are very vulnerable to preventable diseases, which can be spread even by people who are not affected themselves. Get well soon! |

Yes, I obviously want King of Braves GaoGaiGar to have its license rescued!

My off the cuff comment got a lot of serious responses, ha. Just so everyone knows, I know how vaccines work and fully support them as a mom of two kids. My husband is also a nurse, so we both get flu shots every year. I just...really dislike hypodermic needles. The irony is not lost on me as a person with numerous large tattoos but it is what it is, so I tend to put off getting mine. However, we're expecting a new baby in the family (a nephew!) in two months so I made sure to get mine this year! Even though I actually already had the REAL flu (I have not had a fever-vomit combo that rough in YEARS) as did my husband and oldest son, one after the other, for about two weeks (which is how I know it wasn't food poisoning.) What I came down with this week was like other people probably said, a "mild" reaction to the shot (maybe) or something completely unrelated but mostly manifested in headache, mild fever, and very strong fatigue/malaise regardless of how much sleep I got. I'm doing better and hopefully it passes soon. I'm also going through the poll now to fix up options for stuff already licensed. Thanks guys! |

I picked Monster for the license rescue(still mad at Viz) but I'd also like to continue Yawara where AnimEigo was forced to drop it. Basically, bring us more Naoki Urasawa, please!
I already have all of Master Keaton but, for people who do not, I suppose that should be rescued, too. |

Let's hope so! With your immune system fully supplemented, I imagine it'd be plain sailing until spring arrives. That's what I tell myself if ever I fall under the weather at this point in winter. |

Was that really the stipulation in the anime? Seems kind of redundant as Mokuba would have his soul taken by the time Kaiba went to duel Pegasus anyway. But yeah that and his reaction to losing to Atem in the semi finals in Battle City are good reasons for why he should be on the list
Difference being Cell blowing it up was an unintended consequence. Beerus blowing it up was intended (the planet was also apparently bigger before Beerus blew it up).
I wonder what his role is in the "troupe". |

Seeing how Cell was trying to blow up the Earth, having it be a different planet instead really isn't the point. DBZ is filled with sore losers who like to blow up planets. At least with Frieza, it was a tactical move. Beerus was being petty and Cell was spiteful. All three had some measure of sore loser. But it's very hard to take Beerua seriously as a poor loser when you compare him to Gods from mythology; Did he turn Kai into a croquet ball? No, he lost his planet so he got off easy. As to an earlier post, Cell didn't know for a fact that he would regenerate from a complete self-destruct. In fact, there must have been exactly only one cell or one bit of Cell left or else there would have been a lot of regenerated Cells running around. But then what happened to the tail 16 ripped off? Honestly, it's best not to think too deeply about the Cell saga details. I just look at the broad plot points: Cell lost, Cell mad, Cell blew up wrong planet trying to kill everyone after losing the tournament where that not happening was the prize, all of which he himself set up. It's those two last points that make him the sorest of losers. He could have just left at any point even before he learned how to teleport. I do like how a lot of Cell's choices are explained because he's part saiyan. Vegeta's pride, Gohan's stubbornness and Goku's idiocy does not make a rational being when he's against the ropes. |
