Hey everyone I'm new here and had a question for everyone. Recently I bought volume one of the Flag anime series and loved it. I already have volumes three and four on the way, but I can't find volume two anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could find it? I really want to watch the rest of the series! Thanks Very Happy

Flag Vol 2 is one of those notorious Bandai discs that had encoding/authoring errors in certain dvds. I think Bandai had a replacement program at the time it came out. I'm not sure, but this may be the reason it's so rare when compared to the others. Here is a link for an amazon.ca listing, and they ship internationally as well:

You are amazing! I've only been looking at the American Amazon store. I would have never thought about this thank you! Very Happy

It said they had some left in stock so I went for it. If it ends up falling through I'll be sure to let you know.

Well it's not Amazon.ca itself, it's a marketplace seller. If you placed your order directly with Amazon it probably would be canceled. I don't know about that particular marketplace seller, but they have %100 positive feedback.

I know, its happened with both amazon and sellers. They put up a practically impossible to find dvd for cheap then they pull the rug out from under ya. Tried to get the last hayate combat butler when it was like $30 and that happened.

I had a similar experience with the Yukikaze Bluray at one point. I guess if you don't receive your dvd it shouldn't be too difficult to get your money back from Amazon (it wasn't for me anyways).

I wish you luck in your search sir. That show is very very good. Everyone that has an appreciation for the medium should see it.

You mean Yukikaze or Flag? I've given up on finding the domestic Honneamise release of Yukikaze, I may eventually get the Japanese re-release. Maybe it was the excitement of actually finding a copy that interested me more than the show itself. Laughing

I think he means Flag, which if he is, I agree wholeheartedly in that it was an excellent show.

Yukikaze isn't a very good show from what I hear+if I recall.

So I hurried to get this once I noticed they only had one left. Got it and the whole bottom was crushed. It sucks. Hope it gets rescued by someone.
