[quote name='Reira']I also finally get to replace my Magical Project S VHS tapes. I've almost picked up the DVD sets several times when they went on the weekly sale for $26 each. [/quote]Awesome. I was fortunate to find both DVD sets at Big Lots a year or two back for 3.99 a piece. Took me at least a year to get around to watching them, and at first, they bored me. After a few episodes when the writers began to truly find the characters voices, it became rapidly more and more entertaining. Pixy Misa is one of my favorite female anime characters now.
[quote name='JaytheGamefan']Yeah, Lupin's licensing is all kinda of wonky, as four companies presently have hte rights to produce Lupin DVDs for the U.S. market.[/quote]So long as they continue to do the great job of localizing, I don't care how many people have the licensing rights.
[quote name='animemaniac14']ill tell EVERYBODY in this thread to PLEASE check out GUNGRAVE...it is absolutely amazing...i just finished watching it *drools*...absolutely brilliant IMO[/quote]How so? I picked up the first DVD (again, at Big Lots a year or two back) and I thought it stunk, so I traded it into BlockBuster. It tried to be intense and dark and tough and all... and imo, it tried too hard and didn't have any real substance behind it. It felt very formulaic.
But I know this is a big title, so maybe I'm missing something?
[quote name='Brian9824']Ai Yori Aoshi is great.[/quote]Better than Enishi? I picked up Enishi at the last sale and the characters were so stoopid. The blond american being all loud and obnoxious and all...
[quote name='Drahken']Anyone seen Melody of Oblivion or Gad Guard?[/quote]I've watched the first two discs of Gad Guard. I have to get around to watching the rest. But I did buy the rest of the set at the last sale because I did enjoy the style, characters and so far, the story of the two discs which I had picked up and watched before.
But it's subjective. What are you looking for? What sort of anime appeals to you?
[quote name='DuelLadyS']SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
I screwed up my order yesterday and
accidentally got an extra copy of ROD the TV vol.7 instead of volume 1 (I ordered the artbox from somewhere else.) I tried to call and have my order changed, but they said it's already packed, I can't change it,
and I can't exchange it later.
Please, PLEASE- can someone get me a copy of volume 1? I'll trade for my extra copy of 7, plus my old copy of Last Exile vol.1. I'm desperate here!!!![/quote]Odd. At the last sale, one of my box sets came squished and one of the discs I ordered was wrong. Not their fault, my fault; I ordered the wrong disc. I sent an email about both of them, and told them the truth. I was given an exchange number for both items (squished box for a non-squished box and the right title in exchange for the wrong title). No problems, no hassles. I sent them out with the forms filled out, and the replacements came in under two weeks.
If they are saying you can't exchange, possibly their policy has changed. But I think more likely is that you ought to email them in a polite but professional manner. Don't take this as an insult LadyS, but if your email is similar to your post (with a lot of "!!!!!'s" and "help me, I'm desperate" type pleas, it's very likely to come across as whiney and/or juvenile depending on the person reading the request.
As a suggestion...
"Thank you for offering this sale, and giving so many great geneon options. I erred in my order and wound up with the wrong Disc number. May I please have an exchange approval number to return X for Y?
Thank you for your time, help and again, for your great sales.
sincerly,
dual lady s"
The thing that really confuses me though, is how you wound up ordering two disc 7s. TRSI states that no multiple orders are permitted. If you have multiples within your order, the order won't go through. ??
[quote name='Brian9824']Anyways if someone gets soundtracks to Ai Yori Aoshi or Enishi they don't want send me a PM[/quote]If I get to place a second order (and they don't kill it ahead of time like last sale), I'll get you a CD for that Elfen Lied box you deprived me of. =P

![Shaq Fu! fuck fuck](/styles/default/cag/smilies/shaq-fu!96.gif)
ing series to go in them?[/quote]I got the Gad Guard box and the Heat Guy box. I already have the sets, just wanted the boxes to put them in. The duplicate DVDs shall go to BlockBuster. Not exactly sure why that would bother you, but what do I know?
[quote name='Brian9824']Love Hina just got utterly pointless. I mean he sneezes and Naru decks him across city. Got old after the first few times so fast. [/quote]Yeah. Personally, I find the "tortured, well-meaning guy" a horrible character and a poor writers attempt at cheap humor. I don't find girls hitting guys any funnier than guys hitting girls. read: it isn't funny at all.
