Thank you for the information.

I would give you 2-3 kudo/like/thumb up by now, but i don't think that option is available here. This forum structure-- it's like it's from 2004.

I guess the only thing i can do is say Thank you again.

btw, the description from ANN about this series is confusing. I discussed this series with a friend and his response was "i'm not interested in series with mental illness"

anime#14448

Confused

I think this series is comedy/slice of life type with some action/drama/romance going on.

Tell your friend that it is about mental illness only if being a nerd is a mental illness. This is about high school types that let their involvement in fantasy spill over into their real life. It is something you grow out of.

I should mention that if you can stream Crunchyroll, both seasons of the show are available there.

i have to ask

Sub ONLY- often DVD?

DUB version -- often Blu-ray with both dub and sub? is that why it's 2x-3x the price?

Yes and no. This series is a strange one, as Alan45 already explained.

But, there are many series that get dub/sub and are available both on DVD and Blu-ray. Along with others being sub only, but being available in both Blu-ray and DVD.

An example I can think of, from Sentai, is Kokoro Connect. The DVD and Blu-ray versions both subs and are dubbed. I actually didn't know they had dubbed the show until I watched it. Laughing

I'd say, most series get a DVD/Blu-ray release that are sub only. For some, a company may dub it after the fact. Sentai seems to do that more than other companies.

With Chuuni, it's price being much higher than a regular release is due to it being a collector's edition. Many series, that aren't released as collector's editions, have Blue-ray versions that may only be $5 or so more than the DVD version. Sometimes less than that.

Minor gripe, disappointed that Waganaria season 2 is only available on Blu-ray from NISA. Prefer DVD when I import, due to the regions. Struggle to find a reliable region free BD player. Have run into many BDs that just don't play...*sigh*

Adventure Time's recent episode "The Diary" explores that kinda delusion: Laughing
