Great news! I've wanted to buy this for a while now, but I never really felt like hunting down all the singles so this is awesome!

So, is Fushigi Yugi next?


Media Blasters licensed and released the series not too long ago. So answer to Discotek snagging it is no.


actually that was back in the 90's and early 2000's when it as under its animeworks label. but i am probably sure their licenses expired by now so its possible that discotek will license it. but if MB still have it then its a snowball's chance in hell it will happen. but its sequel is another story.

Discotek needs to rescue Urusei Yatsura TV. Never had the chance to buy the series. You can do it Discotek!

The box sets were released 2012-2013 so no, not that long ago.

Discotek, what is going on you are so awesome. More awesome now than ever. I never finished Ceres in manga or anime form but it was my favorite Watase title when it first started coming out in the US (if someone out there wanted to do an omnibus of the manga, that would be cool too).

D Okay, classic shojo: I'd love to see Please Save My Earth and Basara!


Yes! Basara is nearly impossible to get in manga form, but if we could get the show streaming or on DVD that would be great. I got my PSME DVD for cheap on amazon (which it looks like you can still do), but an omnibus series for the Basara and PSME manga would make my life so much easier.


'Nearly impossible' seems like an exaggeration. After all, you can buy it on kindle, like, right now.

Shoujo or not {not that I don't have shoujo titles...}, this was probably one of the series I always meant to watch {Yu Watase? Sounds about right} but thanks to it being licensed by Viz, never heard that much about it.

Viz; Where good titles go to die.

If someone got Saikano from them, I'd buy it. It'd depress the hell out of me again but it is one of the great anime love/apocalypse stories.

Just curious, but does this show tell a completed story?

@jr0904: You're confusing them with Pioneer/Geneon, they originally had Fushigi Yugi first and now Media Blasters does (sadly).

I already own this one on DVD, so I won't double dip, but I'm really happy to see all of these license rescues. Seeing how this was a Viz title, I can perhaps keep my small ember of hope for Hikaru no Go and Monster burning. I would love to complete my collections for both.

Way to go Discotek!

I already own Viz's two sets, but I definitely recommend this one! Amazing anime that is pretty underrated. The manga varies a bit at the end and covers a little bit more, but still a great adaptation!


Would totally love for them to do:
-Tokyo Mew Mew
-Medarots
-Full Moon (for some reason no one has even completed subbing the show...)
