Was Sacred Blacksmith animated in HD, because I'll just wait for a BD if so. That's it for me, but I am curious about that odd $64.98 price tag some of those have.

I want both Phantom and Sacred Blacksmith, but I'm on a pretty strict anime spending diet these days, so I think I'll wait until they come down in price.

*sigh*

I really needs me a sugar-momma.

The following is subject to change at any time

Some of the price tags are especially odd. I really hope they do change it since there are some titles on that list I want to buy (Black Butler, Sacred Blacksmith). The price of some titles went up a lot but the episode/minute count are still the same.

Still, thanks for posting up the solicitations as always.

About time that we heard something in regards to DVD/Blu-ray releases for Phantom and Tsubasa OVA's. I hope Funi will consider getting the XXXHolic OVA's if the Tsubasa ones sell well.

I look forward to getting all of the titles listed above. <3

I might Gantz but I haven't watch it yet, so I don't know. Nothing else in the list appeals me right now unless something changes between now and then.

So am I right to assume Black Butler is the complete Season 1?
All 13 episodes?

Season 1 was 24 episodes total (and Season 2 was an additional 12 eps). That listing says Season 1 Part 1 (and so 300 minutes would translate to 12 eps). I know MSRPs are more than what most retailers are really going to charge but even so, doesn't $65 seem high (so $130 for all of season 1)? I'll still be buying it, one way or another but yikes! Let's hope the actual selling price comes way down (I was guessing it'd be more like $30-40 for a half-season).

Hmm, the only thing I want are the Tsubasa OVAs (since those looked better/made more sense than the rest of the anime) but I'm in no rush to buy them, gotta save up for those DRRR sets after all!

Yeah, I think all my preorders are going to Aniplex this winter... Sorry FUNi but you have nothing I desire. Rescue Sailor Moon or something?

EDIT: Oh wait Tsubasa OVA I want. Gave up hope on that one.

Only thing that interests me is Phantom, but I'll probably wait for the Viridian thinpak for it.

FINALLY the Tsubasa OVAs have a date! Oh, and I'll look into the Disgaea set too. I thought the series was cute (have yet to play the game) dispite how much people hate it :/

Now just need to wait for a date for Eva 2.22...

Jeez. You'd think that after it took them this long to finally get Phantom out they might consider just cutting straight to an affordable complete collection.

EnigmaticWarrior from Mania may have found the reasoning for increased MSRPs:

If these titles have the premium packaging that was on that survey, I'll be super giddy. I'll also have to add Phantom to my list if this is the case.
