If you're getting Kenshin Season One, I hope you're planning to get the Economy Box and not the Bento one. From what I've heard, the wooden bento box has each disc in a jacket that can even end up scracthing the darn thing if you're not careful.
I, myself, am going to wait for the Economy Box because it's cheaper, has actual keep cases for each DVD, and also comes in a box to hold them all. You can preorder it here, if you want. |

I have the first 2 bento boxes, and the discs haven't gotten scratched. But there is another problem with the first box - it gets all warped on the top so the lid doesn't stay on and the back panel comes off. I've heard complaints from a lot of people about this. The second one seems to be fine, though, aside from the fact that one of the disc envelope's pockets was ripped when I bought it, which causes the disc to fall out every time I open it, but that's probably just something that happened to mine during packaging.
Bottom line - get the economy boxes. They're cheaper and have the original DVD packaging, as well as more episodes per box (they're not broken up into the 3 seasons like the bento boxes). |

Are you sure? I looked at the preorder pages for each with the first box having 675 minutes of footage and the second box having 875 minutes. Divide each box by 25 minutes per episode, and you have exactly 27 episodes for Box #1 and 35 for Box #2, the exact amount of episodes for each season. I know the release information in the Encyloepdia says 6 discs, so I'm asumming Box #2 will have 8 volumes. And besides, more episodes a disc means they'll probably take out the liner notes, which I love  ...
So here's hoping each DVD remains the same  .

The Economy box is a brick (just like the MKR economy box). What you mean keep case for each dvd and box to hold them all?
They are broken up into 3 season AWDVD0582 Rurouni Kenshin Season 1 Box Set $79.95 RKDVD0602 Rurouni Kenshin Season 2 Box Set [PRE-ORDER] 1/17/2006 $89.95 RKDVD0610 Rurouni Kenshin Season 3 Box Set [PRE-ORDER] 2/14/2006 $79.95 More episode per disc? What the heck are you talking? |

A keep case is the style most commonly used as a DVD case and looks something like this: 
I was wondering if the Economy box was going to have one for each disc, as if I was buying the regular DVDs, guess not... I suppose I'll go to Best Buy sometime to look at it for myself. Thanks for the info. |

 ... sorry, my bad. OK, is there any neat artwork on the case, at least? The only image I have to go off of is this:

Apparently it's using the Rurouni Kenshin reversible logo's that ADV made for the OVA's boxset re-release (which is also printed on one side of the box?). I think it's a nicer logo, but that's entirely subjective I guess.

That reminds me...I don't have this series yet. Perhaps I'll pick it up before Christmas.

I just have to say, this thread needs a better title than "Finally". Why not call it "About the Kenshin Economy Boxes" or something?

By the way I saw that someone had link deep discount DVD, and if you are planning to buy if from them I wouldn't preorder this because there is a special sale. Following is from slickdeals
Till next time, Delta Kiral Edit: Hey I just went to DDD and was seeing which dvd I could get and I was going to buy the complete collection of MSG 83 and the discount work for me tonite, my total was like $23 dollars with shipping. S |
