Since I hear Dragonaut is absolute rubbish, I'll wait until an SAVE release to quench my interest. Or maybe I'll grab the two half sets when TRSI slash their prices.

I'm also going to wait until Funi inevitably releases both seasons of Spice and Wolf in one collection.

As for something that's actually on the list, I'll pick up Sands of Destruction. I actually almost bought the first release last month, but I decided to save it for later. I suppose it was fate.


I actually hoped Baka and Test would've been out this month since that's something I'm really interested in, but I guess it'll be out in January, perhaps February.

I've been curious about Le Chevalier d'Eon for a while now. At a cheaper price now, I can finally check it out! Outside of that and the One Piece set, that's all I'm getting this month.

It's not a bad as people make it out to be. I mean it's not a masterpiece by any means what so ever, but I wouldn't say it complete trash. Depending on how you look at it is either a B- or a C+ show. I've seen much worse (My Santa, Art of Fighting, the Tekken Anime) than Dragonaut.

Wooow Spice and Wolf Viridian is actually a HIGHER price, and Sands of Destruction Viridian is... the same price :/

Hmmm.... after looking at the RSI prices, I'm not too impressed... If Sands was a bit lower, then maybe... Maybe Frys will have it at $20.

Still awaiting Tsubasa OVAs :/

Well, for shows I don't feel at least 85% confident in, I don't want to pay too much money. It's not so much the bad rep as it is the episode snippets and trailers I've seen that make me worry. I think I'll like it at least as much as the first season of Ikkitousen, which I only paid $25 for, but I'd rather be safe than sorry *cough*Tenjho Tenge for $45*cough*.

What're you talking about? Both are $10 less than the first releases.

I don't know if you use a movie rental service or not, because I would say if you use one you can rent it and to determine if you want to purchase it or not.

Wow, they've got a lot of good stuff getting re-released. I swear this company is becoming like Old Faithful now, every year they'll re-release a series in a $10 cheaper form. Think they'll ever go lower in price than the S.A.V.E. sets? Or will they just eventually re-release the S.A.V.E. sets with different cover art and without that hideous logo (but the price won't change)?

Hmm, now for things I'm considering from this batch, Le Chevalier d'Eon (although I can still get all the singles+artbox for like the same price over at TRSI....it will take up a lot of room, lol), Spice and Wolf (hmm, or maybe in one more re-release) and....no, that's it for now, I've already got Kaleido Star and Baccano so, what more is there to get from that list for me?

There's a number of titles there that I'm interested in, but nothing I *need* to pick up immediately. Eventually, I'll be getting all of FMA:Brotherhood. Gad Guard, GunxSword, The Tower of Druaga and Sands of Destruction are all ones I'm interested in, but I'll have to sample some eppies first to see if I wanna lay down the cold, hard cash on them.

Would love more upscaled (or native HD) titles on BD. Ever since seeing Ouran Host Club, I have a whole new perspective on their video authoring practices. Here's wishing for Darker than Black, or any of the other titles they got from Geneon, on BD...

Renting isn't my style unless it's Gamefly. I just don't like the idea of renting anime since they're usually 4-6 discs and sometimes they don't always have all the discs or some are in a queue that's forever long.

I'm thinking that Spice & Wolf collection will be roughly $20 cheaper at Best Buy.

Which will be a best buy for me. :3

Also, yay for Brotherhood!

Depends where you shop... Sands was a steady $29 to begin with at Best Buy, and $29 now on Rightstuf, and Spice and Wolf has been around $35 on Amazon/Rightstuf, whereas now on Rightstuf it's $37 as Viridian. So, not exactly price drops.
