Awesome! I adore Saiunkoku Monogatari. When I watched the 1st season, I thought to myself: wow, I want to be as strong-willed as the main character.
 
It would be great to win this

You can only enter it once. It won't let you enter numerous times.

I've already entered. Wish me luck!
Why isn't season two licensed yet? |

The_Libertarian_Otaku, it comes down to sales/time/money. If the boxset does well enough, I think Funimation will try to get season 2. The question you asked can be applied to many other anime series.

I thought it was distinctly inferior to the first season. However my opinion wasn't shared by the Japanese audience; there the two seasons sold at almost identical rates averaging just over 3,000 copies per DVD. That won't matter as much to Funi as R1 sales of season one, of course. If they do release season two I'm waiting for the entire boxset this time around. The complete set of season one coming out tomorrow is only slightly more expensive than the earlier sets consisting of just 1/3 of the episodes each. |

http://www.rsc-online.com/colorsmiwaoshima.aspx http://www.akadot.com/saiunkoku-monogatari-the-story-of-saiunkoku-picture-scroll-book-p-21396.html http://www.akadot.com/saiunkoku-monogatari-the-story-of-saiunkoku-picture-scroll-book-p-26280.html?ref=rec I'm also pretty sure I have the epsiode guide for at least one season which at least has lots of pix from the various eps.
When this title started under Geneon, though, single dvds were the norm so it was ultimately cheaper to buy as it was released because Geneon also released boxed sets in the $100-$200 range when initially boxed. Those of us who supported this title feom the start had no way of knowing Geneon whould close down their US operation, leave us hanging for a year, then start issuing mini-boxes, but the individual min-boxes have lovely covers while the box pictured looks rather boring in comparison. Sort of like the Bebop set I bought way back when I started collecting is a cool hinged box with the soundtrack. Yes, they re-did the series, but that original box is still damned cool. The Code Geass Season 1 box is also exceptionally cool as are the Bento Box Kenshin sets. Yeah, cheap cost is important, but there are compensating factors sometimes for paying more. |

Thank you so much for posting this. The color and expression portrayed in all of the scenes in the anime are magnificent... not to mention the beautiful cover art for the mangas and light novels

I really don't care about the boxes, just about their contents. I only buy series to support the producers; I'm not really into how the boxes look on the shelf. Did you buy the original release with the little black box tied on top? I wondered what it contained and never saw any mention of its contents on the forums I read. I just hope it wasn't a moldy manju bun! |

It was an empty box in which one was expected to put the dvds, but I was too worried they could scratch one another since the red accordian-like paper inside only came up about halfway so I just have it sitting there doing nothing. Geneon had some great boxes in the past. The Hellsing TV set came with a little "blood pack" (red liquid freezer pack that has lived in my butter dish since I got it). I also have a Hellsing org patch that came with the 2nd or 3rd dvd. Requiem From the Darkness & Kyo Kara Maoh had book-like cases one slipped the various dvds into. KKM came with giant slide-like cards of the characters. Requiem from the Darkness had a glow-in-the-dark mini pencilboard. Mini-Pencilboards came with Tenjo Tenge, Saiyuki Reload & Reload Gunlock, Tokyo Underground, & Vandred |

Awww... I was hoping that since this released, it was signaling the arrival for season 2. I need season 2! I know I could watch it on YouTube, but what's the fun in that?
