Wow, other Firefighter Daigo fans exist? I do know one on MAL, but I do mean "one", so knowing more exist is amazing! I actually got most of the series for free due to connections. Wish I'd waited on getting volume 20 at a con where they seem oddly plentiful instead of online (it's the most I ever paid for a single volume of manga, yet I can't call it a mistake as volume 20 was amazing and I did get most of the series for free or very cheap). Makes me sad to see none of them seem to leave the con at the end of the day.
@Raji-I do have the entire series. 1/4th of the books are ex-library, and they don't even look like they were rented more than a couple of times. IF you ask me, doesn't even look like it did well at the damn libraries!

Yeah, RACS reminds me of Tokyopop, we all feel bad for the guys working an actual job there behind the scenes, but their CEO is just so accustomed to shooting themselves in the foot and running around like a maniacal mad man that it makes us want to avoid them.

Actually, I'm shocked he hasn't found out we've said anything bad about him and come over, I'm sure he has an ANN account, and given how important he finds it to complain personally to everyone who doesn't like him...clearly it seems to be more important than running a business. He'll call it a personal attack and say "we don't know him", but based on the posts he makes, he wants us all to see him as a troll. If you don't want people to think you're a troll, then don't act like one, Robert.

I always found that hilarious when he pulls the "You don't know me!!!" card. Right......

A new copy of the 98' DVD release of Tenchi The Movie 2 - Daughter of Darkness is listed for a whopping $1867.94 on Amazon.

Its the deal of a lifetime, considering used copies of the same release start at $2.23, while the Signature Series re-release is $20 new, and the Movie Trilogy box goes for about $30 Rolling Eyes

Just found this on Amazon. Just released this year and he expects that kind of money? What a fellow. Laughing

Wait a minute, looks like this guy does plenty of overcharging on anime. Here are some more examples:

Ga-Rei Zero
Mardock Scramble: The First Compression
Tales of Vesperia
One Piece Collection 6

Is Viz letting Inuyasha go OOP like Ranma 1/2? I'm just wondering is all. Or is that one of the better selling titles? Like how Funimation has DBZ, YYH, and such?

I'm guessing that Viz is going to relaunch those titles as part of their next batch of Blu-ray releases. I don't think they've exhausted the entire InuYasha fanbase yet.

Well, they ARE all Limited Editions, and still sealed as well. So, a high price does make sense...

Does Japan even have Blu-ray releases of Inuyasha seasons 1-7 and the movies?

Are we allowed to post when we get to actually win against anti-sales? I was at local movie/game trade in store, where I managed to snag a copy of the Patlabor: Original Series Collection for $25. It's currently going for $99-$150 on Amazon...

Laughing I saw that ad too and almost posted it here. What a tool. I wonder if he/she will find someone dumb enough to pay that price.

Did Bandai really bring ZZ over, or is that guy selling a boot?
