Wound up putting in an order of mostly soundtracks and a few of the 2-3 disc series. (was really hoping that Starship Operators would be one of the $5/disc series, but alas it was not to be)
Heads up for anyone looking at soundtracks: there were a few that wound up cheaper to order from Wherehouse/Secondspin and Amazon, so it's worth checking beforehand. (Wherehouse also has track samples for more of the CDs that I'd checked, so it might be worthwhile if you're wanting to get a feel for what they sound like before buying)

I got it during the first Geneon Abundance sale and I would have paid full price for it in a heartbeat after I saw it.

I've seen it and I suggest you listen to the reviews on this one. It was a truly terrible series.

When I saw that Yuri Lowenthal voiced the main character, I decided to take a chance. In case anyone doesn't already know, Yuri voices Sasuke (Naruto) plus many, many more. I like his work.

Another Geneon series that I would highly recommend is X TV Series:Remix(not to be confused with the movie). This is easily an A series from CLAMP and is well worth $50. You better hurry though, there's only a couple of copies of Volume 1 currently available.

It's already on my list - very, very long list. Right now, I'm watching My-HiME - it's not exactly my cup of tea. I still have Ergo Proxy and Samauri Champloo on my Netflix list. I'm bit worry about Ergo Proxy that Netflix listed its disc #5 "very long wait".

Did the series Stellvia ever come with an artbox to hold all eight volumes?
Although I found this, I highly doubt that tin can fit all eight standard DVD black cases. Or is this more analogous to something like the ROD Volume 1 + artbox version?
