Shelf Life - Gaoing the Distance

² Genshiken, Moribito, Twelve Kingdoms, and Tweeny Witches might all be Shelf Worthy. OK, so Tweeny Witches might only be Rental Shelf, but it's by Studio 4°C, and I love them.

In any case, even if the girl in charge of shelf life thinks the movies are better because they are edited, just because she can't be bothered to read more than 100 pages and needs everything simplified, she shouldn't be commenting if a book is good or not, her opinion has no credibility whatsoever, stick to the anime please (and that is not working for her either) pfff, I should have listened to my instincts the second I finished reading her absurd comment on Hetalia... ANN, you should re-evaluate your staff.... actually, cross that off, you should re-evaluate the Shelf Life column, everyone else is awesome!

If you don't want the stackpak, why don't you just get one of these instead? This is a little bigger than the Moribito stackpak, but that's mostly because that's smaller than the standard multi-disc case. According to DuelLadyS from another thread, it's barely noticeable (she uses a different case, but I'm sure they're the same dimensions).

Thanks for posting that, all this hate on the Moribito stackpak case has me paranoid about mine.

Thanks for posting that, all this hate on the Moribito stackpak case has me paranoid about mine. All my discs are intact, but since I don't have the time (or will) to marathon it, I'd end up loading and unloading the darn thing a few times.

After reading your piece though, I do have one slight nitpick about that opening paragraph. As it's written, it makes it sound like Say Anything was directed by John Hughes. While Say Anything is an awesome movie, and it's one of my favorite movies of all-time, it wasn't directed by John Hughes. It was directed by Cameron Crowe.

Did you see it?

I wouldn't be saying I hated it if I hadn't. My friends wanted to see it, so I went along with them. Did not care for it one bit.

I can't believe the Harry Potter diss... Hallows is a freaking good book, and, granted, it's super long, but I was not for a minute tired of it, had to read it in one day...

It's not about hate, it's about taste. KoH has the taste for one thing, Tuor_of_Gondolin another, I myself (completely original) have another.

On the other hand they're people who are totally satisfied with the stack-pack. To me this is fine so as long as they pay for it and it is not a bootleg.

I get you, I just don't want to take the chance that I'll crack a disc or something during one of the many times I'd end up loading and unloading it.

The art box thing would be really cool, but I have to conserve shelf space.

I just think of opening up the box one day to find one of the disks has cracked. And if MB does go under, that means it'll be hellish trying to get a replacement disk. So, as I really like Morbito, I want to make sure it stays intact for my viewing enjoyment. If that means I need to spend some extra money, then I'll do it. If it were some lesser series, it's unlikely I'd go to this much trouble (or expense).

Remember the seventh book of Harry Potter? Voldemort is on the loose and Harry and friends can't return to Hogwarts, so they live in a tent in the woods, trying to figure out what to do for hundreds of pages of lameness (I'm sure the movie will be better, thanks to the miracle of editing).
