This will (hopefully) be my only order for the duration of the sale. I'm just catching up on a couple of series. The CPM sets are too good to pass up, and I've already held off on picking them up for a couple of DDD sales now.

nezumi-is that volume of Daphne in the Brilliant Blue a volume to complete your set or is it Volume 1? The reason that I ask is because Geneon is releasing a complete box set on August 1. I have this set stenciled in for the November-December DDD sale.

I picked up GitS SAC limiteds vols 1,2,and 4 for nowand Saiyuki Double barrel vol 3. Now I just cant decide what to get next.

And ok im taking it on advisement that i should get Full Metal Panic, im a total noob when it comes to that show so is the complete set the best way to go in this case?

Oh an no Azumanga Daioh box or Outlaw Star? for shame DDD

As a note, it looks like DVDPacific has Azumanga for $35 and Outlaw Star for $27... their customer appreciation sale seems to be somewhat close to what prices at DDD would have been for the same items.

DEFINITELY get FMP-it's a great show! The only problem is that you're also going to want FMP-Fumoffu.

The thinpak is by far the best way to go.

I agree--thinpack is the best way to go, and it usually is for most of ADV's series. Cheaper, takes up less space, comes with a nice box to hold it all. It's a great way to experiment with shows you're not sure you'll like, too, but I'm pretty sure you'll like FMP. I really haven't met anyone who hasn't! And Fumoffu will hopefully get a thinpack in the not-too-distant future. Plus there's a second season of FMP already in Japan but working its way to the US! Lots to look forward to after this initial thinpack.

I wouldn't want to know anyone that doesn't like FMP.

I broke down on waiting for a thinpak of Fumoffu. I got Volume 1 with the artbox at Best Buy for $10 and picked up the remaining 3 volumes at DDD for $45. $55 total and the eventual thinpak will probably be around $25, but I need it now!

I don't blame you. I'm so tempted to pick up some of BB's cheap Vol. 1 + art box sets, but if a thinpack is on the way, I seriously need to wait because I have so much stuff I still need to watch as it is... I know, for shame!! I still haven't gotten to watch Vol. 4 (I've been watching the series through my brother because he now owns all 4 volumes). It really is a fun series.

justbarelymovin, I've been reading this thread throughout, but perhaps it may be helpful for others if you put up links to items that are on the cheap during the DDD sale like you did last time. Some that I know are relatively cheap are Blue Gender, Silent Mobius, Infinite Ryvius.

Which by the way, how are Silent Mobius and Infinite Ryvius.

A good search in DDD is "complete collection" -- It gets pretty time consuming to go through and pick out all the good deals. Honestly, most things are cheaper during the 20% off sale than during any other time of the year. I'll try to find some of the best deals later, but right now I've got a Spanish composition to write.

These anime dealers are showing no mercy right now. I've already dropped over $600 in the last couple of months from various deals and now comes word of another sale on the horizon. Jack Sutton of buyritedvd.com has posted on the AOD board that they are about to update their site with new titles. He didn't give out any prices, but he did mention a few weeks ago that they are going to have complete collections priced in the $15-$20 range in the near future. I got my eye on the Witch Hunter Robin set(I already have 3 of the 6 volumes, but I'll definitely buy the complete collection for $15-$20).

Anyway, here's the link to his post-

Also, I guess I may need some suggestions since I got a ton of anime during BB's anime coupon since DDD did not have ADV as part of their sale last time.

Would anyone know by any chance how good are King of Bandits Jing as well as the other couple that I mentioned?

Also, all of the Yu Yu Hakusho sets after coupons are an absolutely awesome price. I kept up with this collection and bought everyone, and it is probably one of my absolute favorite series.

Yu Yu Hakusho - Spirit Detective Set $60 B/C

I'll just chime in for the often-overlooked "Kino's Journey". One of our favorite anime shows ever. For ~$20 for the set it's a crime not to own it. It was well worth the $80 or so we paid for ours during release.

Hmm, decided I may hold off on Full Metal Panic for the moment. It doesn't have as big a discount as some ADV's other collections. I will get it later, though....if I use a $7 coupon over at Dvd Planet, I can get it for about the same price as the 20% sale.

Seriously, justbarelymovin.....I'll try to get it within a month or so!

Can anyone find the Robotech Protoculture set? Or was it a title that was pulled as well?

I don't think it was pulled -- I just don't think it was on their site to begin with. At least, I've never noticed it, and it's not listed as being there at all on DVD Price Search.

I'm pretty sure they use to have it for $77.86 or something like that. Not positive but almost certain. But oh well.

Hmm, you're probably right, then. But if you go via DVD Price Search, it looks like only five places are listed as having it now. Strange.
