To be more specific it's titled Space Pirate Mito: Complete Anthology. And it's not a thinpack / thinpak release. MB doesn't do thinpak releases on its anime release. The packaging for this is LiteBox (as MB would call it) or simply a Keepcase with 6-Discs.

Forgive me your right, but it is a much better deal if you can find it in store, the "box" for mito is just that a big box with a lot of wasted space. The anime is fantastic, but when bb got that litebox set, they put it out for so cheap right next to the expensive season 1. You wonder why that stuff sits..

thanks for the correction, i didnt think of it that way-

Ok, I tried digging through disc descriptions but I got confused with all the options and missing disc details. I'm looking for the best version of the Kite series to get. I heard the original release was 15 minutes shorter then the uncut version so I'd like to get the uncut one if I can. So if I want to get Kite, the sequel and the Mezzo series... which is my best option at Bestbuy? I'd rather save cash by getting the double-set if I can, but would gladly by separate discs to get the best version of each.

These are the ones I like more than the others...It may also hinge on which types of shows you like.
  • Ah! My Goddess
  • Berserk
  • Figure 17
  • Genshiken
  • Giant Robo
  • Magic User's Club [may not be fulfilled]
  • Midori Days
  • Moribito
  • Ramen Fighter Miki
  • Rurouni Kenshin [Seasons 1 - 2]
  • Tweeny Witches

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think BB is selling the uncut version. There is an uncut double pack that I didn't see at BB. TRSI has it.

Gunbuster the OVA for 25.98 on Deepdiscount, besides the fact is says Gunbuster: The Movie in the title. it points to this being the OVA since it's MSRP is the same as on Rightstuf's listing and it says it has 3 discs along with the 180 minute run time and finally the art work displayed. I find no record of a non Blu-ray release for the movie short of an OOP one on Amazon.

This listing should be for the Gunbster OVA. The MSRP and UPC looked right. Gunbuster: The Movie was only available in BD.

It's probably more or less that Amazon.com hasn't received their shipment(s) yet. This just started to ship to customers earlier this week from select online retailers.

Best Buy Exclusive - B&M

Moribito - Guardian of the Spirit, Vol.7 & 8 + Designer Artbox: $24.99.

Online listing should be this. I would treat this as B&M only (as online is marked for a 15-21 day delivery) and while supplies last...
