Just saw VisualNews.net’s advert for this a couple of hours ago… looks pretty good but I’d have to pay an extra $42 just for the interational shipping…

And while that’s still cheap for dvds ($9.20 per), it’s a little out of my price range and I probably won’t get enough money till October starts.

Oh geez, it’s online, and I don’t have a hundred bucks to blow off on Geneon stuff.

God I wanna kill someone now.

Haibane Renmei was one of my favorite animes.

Yep. Here’s me echoing the recommendation for Haibane Renmei.

*Echoes*

I actually only just saw Akira a few weeks ago myself, so you’re not the only late-comer~ :p As I was watching it, I caught myself thinking, “Geez, this must have been a royal pain to keep organized during production…”

If I hadn’t have already overstepped my budget for the first part of this month, I would be all over this. It ends on Oct. 1st, though, so maybe I can still grab a fistful of stuff if anything is left. Uchuu no Stellvia DVDs on sale = very tempting.

Now that I think of it, it might’ve just been Hinano saying “that angel looks like Tenko!” Oh well, Haibane Renmei should still be good anyway, so yeah. Thanks for the confirmations of goodness, BTW.

Finally was able to finish up some series I had some gaps in thanks to TRSI’s sale. It was almost tempting to go 25 for $100 but shelf limitation and “not really needing x dvds” stopped me… for now.

Odds are, though, I’ll probably try to hit the sale one more time towards the end of September to see what new stuff they have.

Oh, on the DVDs you bought:

- Haibane Renmei I never finished through since it was slow but it wasn’t too bad when I was watching it back in the day. If I remember, it’s more “slice of life” than anything else. Don’t quote me on that though.
- Akira… you just *have* to watch.
- Sakura Wars: The Movie probably won’t be as enjoyable if you don’t have some background info into the series. I would say the OVAs or maybe the TV series is a better start if you’re gonna dive into the ST universe. Of course, the games are the best source - Niea Under 7 haven’t watched. Let me know how it goes!

I second recommendation of Haibane Renmei. Although, there is always a tail of the distribution who do not get it and do not like it, for all rights it’s one of perhaps three greatest anime series ever. In this age, an ending of any kind is getting scarce, as companies seek to milk successful series, let alone as good one as this.
