There is no way a 13 episode show plus a few movies is worth 100 mollah. Looking at you East of Eden

O.O aniplex strikes again.....but, what I'm really surprised at with East of Eden is the fact that it's Funimation. They're usually the cheapest (relatively in some cases) anime distributor in the west

Funi do seem to have raised their prices lately. But even so, you know it will be cheaper eventually. Even now its a little over $80 on Amazon. I'm sure you'll score it for $50 at some point. No love for early adopters.

What you folks need is a lot of Yoru no Nai Kuni/Nights of Azure in your life. Buy it.

It's $75 on Rightstuf, and that point your get free shipping. It might go on sale for lower that on there eventually. Depends on how many units of it they made.

@Whis-pur, as Razor/Edge said, the Eden of the East box set on Right Stuf is $75. I got my copy from them a couple days ago and it's a pretty reasonable price. If you buy everything separately on blu ray, you're gonna be paying about $70 anyway. And that's before tax and shipping. A couple bucks more for the entire series plus some extras sounds reasonable to me.

@Razor/Edge, Funi said they made 2500 copies.

Light week for me. My copy of My Little Monster 13 arrived yesterday...and I devoured it. Sad that the series is now over.

Though, I'm hoping we'll see Robico's new series, Boku to Kimi no Taisetsu na Hanashi (An Important Talk Between You And Me), gets licensed. I need some more Robico art in my life. Laughing

Its called Premium for a reason. They released the regular edition a long time ago and you can get it as a classic title for $30 on Rightstuf it just won't come with the movies though. You can get those for $20 each on Rightstuf. At the end of the day you'll be paying $70 for the entire release anyways. Also its 11 episodes not 13. Smile

As the others have said Sentai's and Funi's collectors are bargain bin prices compared to AoA and Pony Canyon releases. Now those prices will make any part-timer cry tears of anger and salt
