It's not just that, others volumes with artboxes or LE have dropped to "0" as well!

Armitage III: Dual Matrix DVD (Special Edition, Lunch box), Armitage III: Polymatrix/Dual Matrix DVD Set, Burn-Up Scramble DVD 1 (Hyb) + Artbox + Magnet Limited, Captain Herlock (Harlock) DVD 4 (Hyb): The Final Voyage Limited Edition, Elemental Gelade DVD 1 (Hyb): React + Artbox, Fafner DVD 1 (Hyb): Arcadian Project + Artbox (Limited), Licensed by Royalty (L/R) DVD 1 (Hyb): Deceptions + Artbox (Limited), Melody of Oblivion DVD 1 (Hyb): Arrangement + Artbox, Patlabor Movie 3: WXIII DVD (Hyb) Special Edition (3 discs), Sugar, and A Little Snow Fairy DVD 1 (Hyb) + Series Artbox: Sweet Michief (Lim Ed).

I wonder if it's an error or if they oversold their inventory and decided to pull back!

Does anyone know if Digital Eyes/DVDPlanet still does the frequent buyer points? I ordered some anime with the current 20% off coupon, and nothing's been added to my points so far.

They still have that program, but it does take some time (a week or so) for them to add the frequent buyer points to your account.

Well, I did mention on the CAG forums about this "glitch". Looks like someone is doing it...probably shouldn't of said anything...

The way RS's inventory is set-up, there is no restrictions on how much inventory you can have in your cart. So you can put 999 (or whatever) into your inventory.

Eventually your cart will dump as it appears to have a 15-30 minute timeout. This inventory IS NOT placed back into the in-stock counter. It seems to come back a day or so later. Obviously, this is a problem and RS should fix it. It's been like this for years. I discovered it when I was sitting on "1" left in stock of a DVD but I was in class and didn't have my credit card on me, so I kept "wishlisting" to "in cart"ing it to keep it alive, but when my cart died it never came back.

I believe you're right. It looks like it's back to normal now!

I'm placing one last order of 10. You guys fill in the blanks. I'm getting:
ROD the TV 5
ROD the TV 6
ROD the TV 7

And 7 more. I'm already ordered Last Exile, Paranoia Agent, Lain, Haibane Renmei, ROD 1-4, and Fighting Spirit 1-2. I'm thinking about vol. 3 of FS and maybe trying out something like Gungrave or Licensed by Royalty. Help me out.

You won't be sorry if you go for Gungrave, IMO!

I emailed Shawne about the order change to swap ROD 7 into my order and he replied within a few hours with "Done." Really great customer service as always. I have yet to even catch up with my backlog from the last Geneon sale but these deals are just too good to pass on.

I always hope for more such sales every other month. =P I have come to only buying DVD's, with some exceptions, during sales.

I liked Melody of Oblivion enough to spend $4 a disc on it after I watched the entire series one weekend at a friend's house. It's not the most profound show, but it's very filling.
I could not get past the first disk of Star Ocean EX.
I liked the Burn-Up series(es) as a simple girls-with-guns show, it's a good example of the genre and doesn't try to be anything else.
I have not seen either Ultra Maniac or any of the Saiyuki's to have formed an opinion.

Less than 10 R.O.D. the TV 7+box left, so if you haven't made that order yet, hurry~


I haven't watched anything on that list except for Star Ocean EX. I found it to be a mediocre show, mildly reminiscent of Slayers, not bad for a rental, but not quite good enough to actually purchase.

I've only seen the first disc of Ultra Maniac. It seems like a cute entry into the magical girl genre. I enjoyed the first 4 episodes enough to order it from RS. Whenever I'm on the fence about a series, I always go to youtube and check out some clips. It lets me see the character designs and gives me a good feel of whether or not I would like the show.

I received my two Geneon Bountiful Bargains REMIX orders yesterday.
The two orders were mixed in two boxes (17.5 x 11.5 x 12.5 & 11 x 9 x 12.5). One bonus pack item to report was Magical Project S Set 2 which included a limited edition mini-pencil board. Unfortunately, I didn't get one for Set 1!

Awesome! Did that show up on your order? When I last purchased from the original Geneon sale, they listed the catalog as a free item. I didn't get it listed this time and my subscription is out for their catalog, so I wonder if I'll actually receive it or not... hmm...

The problem with Star Ocean is that it ends in the middle of the story. Having played through the game years ago I know exactly what happens, but it is a issue for those who only intend to watch the anime. Saiyuki is one of the worst things to be licensed in recent years. They took a very enjoyable Chinese legend and screwed it over. The ugly character design didn't help, either. Ultramaniac is a good show. The only downside being that the one episode OAV was not included. The digisub is easy to locate, though.
