Holy crap.

Well, I feel kinda bad for AN Ent, this was sorta their baby (I'm surprised their license over it is over so quick).

I really didn't care too much for it from the episode I saw (when they were streaming it for free), but I have a hard time passing up a complete series set for that cheap.

Good deal for 15 dollars if your looking for the singles rightstuf has them for $5 if your missing one or two...but they don't have the artbox available, whereas the Animenation page has the LE box with all three volumes.

So, when and where is the production art going to be available? Risky Safety was the first artbox I ever got, and the first thing I ever bought from TRSI... so it's kinda special to me.

They seem to be losing a bunch lately.

At least they warn people. I noticed several titles missing at the last Right Stuff MediaBlasters sale & wondered if they'd lapsed. I know someone looking for Planetes 3 manga & I know I was told Hands Off 7 was unavailable a few months after it came out. I think Tokyo Pop holds of 2nd runs of slow-moving titles. That current TP sale at Right Stuff has several holes in titles. Not the popular pnes like Fruits Basket or Gravitation, but others like Dream Saga (Vol 4)

Thanks for the heads up. This sounds interesting, and at $15, it's worth taking a flyer on it I think.

If I don't like it I can hand it down to one of my friends. Smile

What the heck, they have the art for sale on the website now but when I try to order it I get an error and it won't let me add to my shopping cart. I'd love to purchase some art for this great show, hopefully they get the error fixed or haven't run out.

Where?! I can't even find a place to order, let alone the production art! Crying or Very sad

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it... I'm also getting the same error message. I'll try again tomorrow.

Dang, I still consider my boxed set a steal at $30 and I may have to pick up a couple more for gifts. I can also see someone like FUNimation grabbing the license for it and licensing AN's English production. It would, in the least, be something cheap and easy to put on the FUNimation Channel.

Should we also be saying goodbye to AN Entertainment?

Their attempt to license anime has been less than a success and i'm guessing we are just going to see their licenses expire one by one with no new acquisitions.

I was under the impression that AN Entertainment basically drew out of the licensing game. Probably far too stressful. That, and they're not TRSI.

It's a shame. I thought they did a great job with Risky Safety. Then again, that's hardly a show that I would expect to sell well. Still I was hoping it would do well enough so that they would give the same treatment some other smaller shows that most people have never seen.

A box set for 15 bucks? Sign me up. I was considering getting the series a while ago, but this is even more of an incentive. *places order*

Wowie. It's gone already? It was only licensed a few years ago...I *would* buy it, but I just made myself hella-broke. In fact I'm at negative money.
