Geez! Talk about jealousy! ;o Oh well, I picked it up during one of DDD's 20% off sales, and I just got around to watching it recently, and I was very pleased, so I asked for the second scrapbook for Christmas and got it from my bro.

Updated!

These stinking sales! Especially on Geneon!

I was almost caught up! Just needed the last Last Exile disk, three more disks of Dunbine, Gundam Seed, EVA platinum, three for Gadguard, and however many more St. Seiya had left.

With the 12 days of Xmas, I bought:
DNAngel volume 1 with box
Peacemaker Kurogane volume 1 with box
along with EVA set (for a future gift), Gasaraki, Devil Lady

with the buy 2, get 1 free Geneon sale, I got:
Gungrave 1,2,3 (missed the DDD sale, I waited too long)
Stellvia 1 (love the thinpak idea)
as well as the whole Herlock series (though I finally got the last exile disk)

at various bestbuy sales, I got:
Chrono Crusade volume 1 and 2
Paranoia Agent v. 1
Requiem v. 1 (thankfully had the willpower to give it away as a gift)


So now I'm roped into 3 new Geneon series (Gungrave, Stellvia, Paranoia Agent) and 3 new ADV series (Chrono Crusade, Peacemaker, DNAngel). This is a sickness, I tell you. So can anyone give any recommendations as to which of these six are most worthwhile? As I'm only a few disks into any of them, I can probably resist the temptation to fill the empty boxes for a while and focus on a couple of them...

Thanks! I picked up Heat guy J Volume 6. If I had the cash I would buy the complete GTO set for $100. But I've spent enough on anime and have seen it already.

It's marketing at work. They gave you a hard-to-resist deal on various Vol.1 + box, but then you'll have to buy the rest of the DVDs to complete the boxes

Anyway, I would pick Paranoia Agent and Gungrave out of your six.

I am learning to resist and wait for a boxset (course not having money helps too). I held off on most of the recent sales since a boxset is usually a better deal for the whole season/series.

i almost picked up GTO volumes 6 - 10 (as I had p/u box set 1 from DDD recently) but i think i might wait - DDD has the GTO set # 2 for 59 dollars - includes volumes 6 - 10 and t-shirt

Yeah, I know that's why they do it... and it works! I just have a compulsion to fill the box. And it's worse if the box is a limited item or somesuch nonsense.

Ironically enough, I don't think Paranoia Agent even has a box, but it seems good enough that I'll continue with it regardless. Thanks for the recommendations, by the way...

I try to wait for boxsets or collections later too... but I'm a sucker for a good, solid box and great cover art, and that whole Witch Hunter Robin collection box left a bad taste in my mouth (I thought the book would be beautiful, but it's probably the worst DVD packaging I've ever seen). And although it makes little sense, it's easier for me to spend 15 dollars here or there for an individual release than to spend 100 bucks in one go, even if it is a cheaper alternative...

Back on topic: I know it's already posted in the Right Stuf deals, but I'm not sure if the circumstances have been mentioned: the Animeigo Macross sets on sale for 37.99 are a good deal considering Animeigo has lost the license to Macross and this might be your last chance to get it (at least until the whole Harmony Gold fiasco is settled). It's sub only, but worthwhile because of the excellent remastering (which I believe ADV used for their recent Robotech remastered set) and to see how Macross was supposed to be seen...

Just checked back on Overstock and there was one copy of Marmalade Boy left.. which I got. Whoops. Keep checking back if you missed it and they might put a few more up.

guess that sign up for an email when it is back in stock option is not helpful.

Do you have a direct link to it? I searched for "Marmalade Boy" and couldn't find the collection.

I don't know why but I just ordered Marmalade Boy from Overstock. Couldn't resist the discount I guess. There were 2 left when I placed my order and there is a link on page 1 of this thread.

WMVHD version of NOIR/RahXephon/Full Metal Panic

Not a bargain but it's something pretty new in the anime world.

ADV will be releasing HD version of NOIR, RahXephon and Full Metal Panic in WHVHD format and DTS 5.1.

Talk about double-dipping ... like I want another copy of the standard-def versions just to get the high-def versions. Bebop the movie in hidef was pretty sweet though.
