WHAT? Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid is coming out on Blu Ray? If I had known that, I would have waited for it -- I just bought it on DVD like a month ago.

Glad to see Gunslinger Girl season 2 and Romeo X Juliet Part 2 on here. I'm also glad they're re-releasing When They Cry -- it's a great show that I think a lot of people overlooked the first time around.

Sweet on a release date for the FullMetal Alchemist OVAs. ^^ And it looks like I'm going to be torn between getting the original ADV thinpak or the Funi remastered version of Full Metal Panic!: The Second Raid, since that's the last one I need to complete the anime part of the series. XP

The Slayers boxset looks interesting though I will wait to decided if I should get this or the previous released one. Again, WTF with Welcome to the NHK? Funi splits it in two sets, then comes out with the whole thing in a complete collection. Why not do that in the first place.

Gunslinger Girl 2 - oh yeah! And I should have been a little more patient with Welcome to the NHK...I already own the two parter.

I already own most of these(including Slayers), but man is that Slayers set cheap. At 1725 minutes and 78 episodes that's 90¢ an episode retail. If you get it at a good sale, like a Rightstuf sale with club membership for instance, the price drops to $37.79 and it's 48¢ an episode!

The only one I would say is a little overpriced compared to its previous installation would be Ultramaiden Valkyrie 3 and 4. Its 480 less minutes of anime, but only $10 cheaper. Not a problem for me since I already have it, but odd nonetheless.

It's good to see Darker than BLACK coming up, since that is the one on there I will most definitely get. I want to be excited about Gunslinger Girl but I have heard so many bad things about the second season that I don't know what I will do.

Big Windup!: Complete Collection, Part 1 YAYYYYYY. Hakerborn FTW on this one. Hell even Ayers was great. I loved this. Its on Funi's youtube page if you want to check it out.

Darker than BLACK, Vol.6 - Great series so far.
Devil May Cry: Complete Collection - Is it worth it? I want it.
Fullmetal Alchemist OVAs - 30 minutes - because it looked cute.
Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid: Complete Collection- I lvoed this so much I may just double dip.
Gunslinger Girl: Season 2 Collection - bad art but i'll watch t.
One Piece: Season 2 Collection, Part 2 - I gotta keep buying this.
Romeo x Juliet: Complete Collection, Part 2 - I'll probably get this since im going to get the first part.

Well, glad I didn't pick up Slayers as singe seasons for that deal! It's good to wait sometimes (and I thought the $20 pricetag on them as single sets was an awesome deal!)

Romeo and Juliet... well, I loved it but get them as two different sets, or wait for one big one? As shown by NHK....

Sometimes, being strapped for money can be a GOOD thing!

looks like some good things will be coming out in August. My wallet will be empty by the end of the month. I got to get volume 6 of Darker Than Black, box set of Higurashi, box set of NHK, and the Mushi-shi (live-action) DVD. It's going to be a good time for funimation releases.

Ah, and during my con month no less, my wallet can't take this madness (thank god July is light at least, and hopefully September will be too). Well, FMP 2nd Raid, Gunslinger Girl, Welcome to the NHK, and Big Wind-Up will be eventual buys, everything else will be bought as soon as possible. Those omitted, I already have Season 1 of Slayers and 2 on order so I'll just buy 3 separately, and nothing else interests me at the moment.

Geez, such a heavy month. Maybe we'll get lucky and have a Rightstuf Funi sale before August arrives.

Well, that's an easy choice to make, considering there is no ADV thinpack for 2nd Raid, since it has always been a FUNi license (they do retain the ADV dub cast, though). I assume you meant Funi's first thinpack, which I'd go with this newer one, because the first one reportedly had poor video quality.

What?! Still no info on Hellsing Ultimate vol. 5? Looks like I'm the only one here interested in that one.

XP I always thought it was ADV's. Shows how much I paid attention, really.
