I was looking on a site I've bought a few things from, and these came up. I'm a fan of the Steel Angel Kurumi manga and am interested in buying the series, but I've never even heard of these.

I'd love to know what they are since I'm interested in buying them. Apparently they've got 1 episode on and a music track or two. Does anyone have them and can tell me what the music tracks are, by any chance?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Very Happy

I haven't seen Steel Angel Kurumi, but the items appear to be of those special combo releases that they like to do in Japan.

Well, I think that's what they are. Sometimes, when an anime franchise is popular in Japan, they like to release a sort of "special" that has an episode or two with some music videos and stuff. I've seen them for sale on ocassion, but basically, the only difference between the actual DVD and these items is that you get to watch the music videos.

My guess is that the MVs are probably just footage from the series going along with insert music or something like that, kind of like what you'd expect on an anime version of MTV (if that makes sense Anime smallmouth).

Anyway, I could be wrong since I've never actually watched one of those, but I hope this helps a little.

You mean like the official videos that were made for Fushigi Yuugi to character's themes? That sounds pretty cool Very Happy

Guess there's no other way to find out really, I'll order one of them in the near future. ^_~ Thanks for the help, even if you're not too sure.
