It's also a shame that most titles get released 1 DVD at a time. Sure it make sense in an economic stand point because you make more than just selling a boxset straight up, but personally I think it's annoying. I've never been one to prefer online purchasing, call me crazy, but I like buying shows from stores like Best Buy because they're almost always below MSRP and I feel they have a general good pricing. But what annoys me is if you buy a DVD Volume 1, generally, it feels like you'll have to pay more for the silly cardboard box. I'd rather that the thinpack be released all at once, it's worth waiting for, but it may not be the best economic move because your casual fan isn't likely to drop $70 dollars on an entire show, which is why buying a Volume 1 makes sense.
Though for me, I rarely buy anime, or any DVD unless I know what I'n buying. |

Um... Your post is really long and this is the only part I read. Yeah you're right. That and I actually live outside of Edmonton (but still close enough to get to it easily enough by bus) so it's hard for me to get to West Edmonton Mall. I do go to Kingsway Garden Mall but mostly to buy manga from Comex Hobby. I've rented anime from the Movie Studio near Whyte Ave but I haven't been there in a long time and half the time the stuff I wanted to rent was one day rental or out. I've been to the HMV in WEM but that was a few years ago and it was really expensive |

lol, tl;dr strikes again! I don't blame you. I get talkative when I'm ranty. ^^; And ah, that makes a bit more sense, then, if you actually live outside of Edmonton. If I were you, I'd look to online retailers. Follow Brians9824's advice and get a pre-paid card from a grocery store, or possibly buy a gift card from HMV the next time you're able to go there and use it to buy stuff from their online store. Also, RightStuf accepts mailed money orders, which you can get from most post offices. I don't have issues with HMV's prices, usually, but maybe that's just me.

It's no real surprise that it got licensed, I knew it would come down to Funi or Viz. I'll have to pass though since I thought it was a terrible show overall. And the announcement video reminded me of how Kadokawa revealed that Bandai had Haruhi.

Wow, this thread grew this big in just a few hours!?
 Guess I shouldn't be so surprised, I know a lot of people have been waiting for this license.
But yeah, I was up out of my seat in jubilation when I heard about this news!  (my good pal JG actually IMed me about it before I had the chance to get over here to ANN  ) It's finally here, yay! 
If Viz had gotten it though, I think I would have loved to see it go to Ocean though, probably every bit as much as I like the fact that Funi got it. Ocean does some of the most quality dubs out there IMO, but I guess it's better that Funi got it since they have a much deeper tallent pool in female VAs, especially those with nice, deep voices which you really need for this series. But hey, Funi's got some awesome dubs too, and all of my favorite VAs seem to be either there or in LA, so this should still be an awesome dub nonetheless.
I guess there's no chance of this coming to Adult Swim due to some of the content, so it'll probably come to some other network I unfortunately don't have.....  Some of you guys have suggested IFC, which seems like it would be a good place, given what I already know has aired on there before. I'll just have to settle for the DVDs then. As usual I'll be waiting for a possible box set release.

Actually I think Claymore has a very good chance of airing on AS since they seem to have no problem with graphic violence (I could see them toning it down a bit). |

I'm curious. Since the manga is still being published in Japan, does the anime have a good resolution?

More or less. I personally liked the anime's ending, but other people will tell you otherwise. I say this because the writing quality does falter into the predictable once the anime diverges from the manga. In spite of that, I still liked how it stayed true to the overall theme of the series and its characters to the bitter end. Plus, there were still a few surprises here and there. The series did get back in line with the manga after episode 26 as well, leaving room for a possible sequel. That's just my opinion though. You'll really have to see it for yourself. The manga certainly is superior, but the anime still works quite well as a standalone production. Last edited by Jedi General on Fri Feb 15, 2008 5:50 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I'll keep that in mind when the funds become available. I honestly thought you could only order stuff online if you had a credit card and didn't think money orders were accepted. |

Finally some good news! Woo. I'm so happy to hear this. It's my first fansub show and it's licensed now. Great great news.
