I was never super-interested in owning Case Closed, but with the recent news of FUNi finally dropping its license I poked around on a whim, and I found an eBay seller or two listing all five SAVE sets for only $45 or so. I can go for that.

Soooo about this purchase: I did buy the one set from an eBay seller, and as expected, they were the official sets, all shrink-wrapped...but at least a third of all of the collective disks were scratched to hell in a way I've never seen from a new-in-package release. They weren't loose or anything, either: it looks like the backing of the opposite disk's spindle is what did it, at least for some of them, but they're held snugly enough that I can't see how they'd spin that much and under enough pressure to do that sort of damage. The worst part is that the scratches are all circular, and a few are deep enough that at least one of the disks was noticeably skipping after a few minutes of jumping between chapters. I feel like they'd probably be salvageable with a DVD repair kit, but I don't have one on-hand, and at the end of the day I shouldn't have to do this on brand-new disks. I swear I'm always buying stuff that winds up having weird issues.

So long story short? I found the only other listing for a similar price and re-bought the whole series. If this new one's good I can return the previous one, but if its disks are scratched up too, I guess I'll have to take the best of the two as I'm able. This sucks. Confused

Alongside my copy of Anonymous Noise that came in the mail today, I got the latest copy of Rightstuf's shopping catalog that came with a scratch-off for a discount I could get. Winded up getting a 10% discount I could use, so used it toward snagging Batman Ninja on DVD.

Just took notice that Funimation has their August pre-order slate up. So just went and bought up a few titles of interest on Rightstuf that include...

Tsuredere Children
Planetarium ONAs + Movie
Classroom of the Elite


Not all that has my interest in the August slate as Gamers and Sakura Quest have my interest as well. But I'm gonna need to replenish my Paypal account as August is looking to be a costly month for me thanks to Funimation.

That made me look twice at the catalogue and I too got a ten percent off coupon. Still, I've never used one of their coupons as the restriction put on them..."*coupon can't be stacked with other offers"... makes them invalid for bargain hunters like myself. Ebay gave me a coupon as well, one for ten dollars off for anything with no restrictions beyond the fact that I had to spend 30 in one purchase.

So I finally got a copy of Future Diary + OVA collection, new.... and that may even be true! I'm not counting on it but stranger things have happened... with free shipping at the price I wanted to pay even before the coupon.

I've pre-ordered the first half of Sakura Quest on Rightstuf. Next goal, getting enough in my Paypal to get both Sakura Quest's second half and Gamers in one-shot.

Like Spastic Minnow I too have partaken of Sentai's Memorial Day weekend sale:

Ajin Premium Ed. pt1 - already have pt2
Chihayafuru Seasons 1&2 Standard Ed. - mainly to save on space, but I also wasn't crazy about the PEs on sale.

Lots of other stuff I was interested in like Space Bros and Denno Coil, but already purchased a bunch of stuff last 3 months, so I got to go easy.

My in-stock Rightstuf sale or arrived! Didn't get too much, but still got enough for free shipping!

Ajin 11
Goldfisch 2
Graineliers 2
Tomorrow's Joe movie BD
Twinkle Stars 5


With how awesome Megalo Box has been, and I've always wanted to try out Tomorrow's Joe to begin with, I no longer felt like waiting for a Discotek sale.
