I'm also looking forward to another step in the right direction to owning one of my favorite series from last year as well. As for Karas: The Revalation it's due out in April.

That could be it sykosteve, to be honest despite my efforts I haven't been able to really find much of any information as to why it was delayed.

Got it today; they didn't even ahve it out when I got there I'm blown away by the series. Thankfully, they didn't leave off at a cliffhanger this time, but I'm still craving more. From the preview for episode 11 it looks like Furukku(sp?) might break his cord next. Which wouldn't surprise me. Yet I'm still kind of dissapointed they didn't reaveal anything more about Noein
I bet when they finally reach Shangri-la, it will be a twisted version of their reality, with possibly an evil Haruka or Yuu calling the shots or even being Noein.
I ahve too much time on my hands to think of things like that >_> I can't believe I have to wait till April 17th for the next volume.

Bough my copy today, too. Though I haven't watched it yet.
I thought of starting a new thread for this question, but I'll ask it here instead.
Noein Vol. 1 had a cardboard cover over the DVD case. I checked a couple different places today but couldn't find a copy of Vol. 2 with the cardboard cover. I ended up buying it without, but I'm wondering if Manga released a version with the cardboard cover?
I realize this sounds kind of anal (and it is), but if I'm going to invest money in a series, I'd like all the cases to match, or at least be consistant, while sitting on my bookshelf.
I'm sure the company saved money by not producing one, but if they're going to create a special cardboard cover for the first volume, I'd expect they'd follow through on the others as well.

I feel the same way having received my copy coverless in the mail last week. I was really bummed about Mars Daybreak only having it's first volume in a metal tin. Is this also the case with the new Hellsing? I can't seem to find a special edition for volume two available for pre-order,

Oddly enough my local Best Buy has Noein in the Family section rather than the Anime section, almost left thinking they didn't have any before spotting it. This was a good volume and it put things in to perspective. Sadly now it's another 3 months until the next release I assume, looking around I haven't even found a release date for volume 3.

Finally got to watch it after work. Good volume. It gave some backstory and asked a few new questions to keep me waiting until April for Vol. 3.
While watching, I got to thinking that the group Uchida (the scientist lady) met with in Tokyo seems eerily similar to the council that met in La'Cryma. It seems like they're setting up some kind of self-fulfilling prophesy, like the group Uchida works for will be the one to discover the quantum theory that makes diminsion jumping possible, somehow disturb Shangra-La and lead to the destruction of the Earth.
I hope they don't make it that simple. I'd like to be surprised.

Also if you haven't pick up volume one Best Buy has a deal where you can get both Vol 1 and 2 for $30. So that's quite the deal if you can find either volumes, my local store was sold out already when I try to buy them.

I got around to watching the second volume and must say this is one of the best series being released. I found the first/last name reversing (or non-reversing) rather odd during the credits. This doesn't seem to be too common and I can't think of any other recent releases that don't flip the surname. I also find that Haruka is voiced by a girl named Haruka amusing. I'm glad they kept the original bonus material covering the tour of the city. Satelite continues to deliver nice 2D and 3D animation, and the OST is really quite good. The A/V quality on Manga's recent releases have been top notch, and the 5.1 mix on this DVD is a nice touch.
It's too bad that I already preordered volumes 3 and 4, along with Tactics 4 and 5, Tokko 1 and 2, and Karas 2 (ordered them all in August) since TRSI is having a nice Manga Entertainment sale. You can order the first 3 volumes for under $27 before membership discount.
