Unfortunately, the just released Trinity Blood set is not on sale. Be careful when ordering from Amazon-they now have third party merchants(ANTOnline) listed as the default price for many of their Anime titles.
Here are the links including a couple other titles:

Nadia is one the best anime's ever made. All the japanese know that.

This show made GAINAX famous before evangelion.

Director - Hideaki Anno


Nemo's final design looks remarkably like Captain Bruno J. Global (from The Super Dimension Fortress Macross), even down to his uniform being almost identical to Global's. This is most likely intended as a tribute; Hideaki Anno's first job in the industry was as an animator for that series. - Wikipedia

If so, you'd think ADV would make a bigger stink out of the new set, but to be honest I didn't even know it existed until I looked at Buy.com's website yesterday and took note of it.

But I assume this is the problem with other companies as well, that they think nobody is going to buy "old style" anime, or anime that's not geared specifically for a certain market.

In any event it would be really nice to see complete, affordable sets of hard to find titles like Dunbine, and other companies could pick up OOP titles and bring them back in complete sets as well.

Problem is these companies only promote the new stuff, and people in america have no respect for the great classics out there like Nadia, Dunbine, and others.

They only like new fancy CG stuff, whatever is on Cartoon Network or whatever some media publication tells them what's Hot.

Considering it retails for like $90 MSRP? Yeah, I'd say that's good!

Ordered Nadia yesterday, shipped today. Blind buy for me, but, with all the love you guys give it, $37.99 is OK with me.

You know, it's funny, I love all kinds of anime but the older ones just have much more charm. It's like Disney animated movies back when they were still good. Something about the hand drawn attention to detail turns the project into a labor of love. Maybe I'm just crazy but as much as I love modern anime the classics get me every time!

I hear you. I just sat down to watch the Karas set I picked up during the DD sale for $14 and I fell asleep. I honestly don't think I can turn it back on again.

Why did Nadia go OOS at Buy.com? Because as soon as it became available for sale today for the GCO $10 discount people jumped on it (I'm sure our discussion of the title helped too). Mine is still stuck in the "Sent to Warehouse" phase which makes me a little nervous they're OOS (especially since my order was among one of the first ones to be placed before I posted).

ye i agree with you on the karas thing...i definitely fell asleep watching the first one...but i bought the second one and plan on watching it this weekend.. hopefully that won't put me to sleep either.

But im sure Nadia will come back in stock fairly soon...i hope...PLEASE! -_-

All this talk of Nadia, make me want to watch the series from my backlog. If I didn't have the old boxsets w/soundtracks I would have bought this tin collection.

Can't you place it on pre-order? I mean, click and purchase it and let them put you on backorder.
