RightStuf Geneon Sale Reccomendations

I would like to know more about Master Keaton and Gad Guard. I have only heard how great Master Keaton is, but never why. Gad Guard I know used to air on Anime Unleashed but I missed the initial airing. Mixed reviews on that series so just looking for reccommendations.

P.S. I second Gankutsuou, if you have not had the chance to see volume one I would put that in your list, I personally think it's one of the best overall anime out on the market.

Geneon Discontinues Sherlock Hound (10:27 PM EDT): According to the latest mailer update, Geneon has set a 10/31/2006 date for the discontinuation of Sherlock Hound as an orderable product from them.

While not actually part of this particular promotion, I couldn't help but notice that the entire ($500+) Card Captor Sakura series is on sale for $80. w00t!

I got that the first week it was on sale I'm going to convention this weekend, and if the Read or Die dvd cd bundle is still on sale, I don't know whether I want to dip back into the Geneon special or that one. damn you right stuf!!

Quite a unique and interesting series. I enjoyed almost every single moment in it, even when there was nothing going on I could spend quality time taking in all the visuals. It is very cleverly crafted, from the storyline to the animation to the characters; it is almost enough to overwhelm the senses and yet balanced well enough where I had enough time to take it in. Not to say that I don't want to see it again because I am sure there are plenty of things that I missed and the series practically demands at least a second viewing. I know that a lot of times people talk about unique characters but with this series it isn't just talk, every character has so many levels to them that it is hard to discern true intentions, much like with real people. The stories are filled with quality build up, sure there is plenty of shock value, but it is justified in the plot and not just something to grab one's attention. The animation almost tells its own story; all the warped imagery and character designs along with some creative use of colors suddenly changing from overly rich to flat and sometimes inverting, it doesn't just add to the story, it completes it. It is much more than just worth watching.

I love all the different stories in this set with all the different characters. Everything from everyday life to the supernatural to unexpected occurrences, this series has it all. Also, considering they are all single episodes, it never felt like I was watching an underdeveloped story or character. Each story has its own unique and well crafter plot with its lovable and interesting characters, which is to be expected from something based on Rumiko Takahashi's work. I also love the occasional cameo a character from one story will do in one of the others, it's fun to pick these scenes out. And they might be a bit cheesy but I love the openning and ending themes, they just fit incredibly well with this mish mash of a series. And since all of the episodes are independent of each other I can always watch one here and there at random. Overall it is just incredibly entertaining and fun.

It had the same deal the previous week. I wonder why Rightstuf is liquidating it? is the license expiring soon? I know they've been trying to liquidate their Kimagure Orange Road or a while now...i bought it straight from Animeigo this summer shortly before their license expired...much cheaper than the Rightstuf offer..never thought I'd say that
