Should I sell my Kodocha box set or not?

Watch the first disc, then decide.

Me, I bought Kodocha solely for the babbit shoulder bag that came in the volume 1+ artbox set- hey, I'm a sucker for a good pack-in. I think it took me all of 15 minutes to fall madly in love with the show. I think it's an absolute must-have and a travesty that the second half was never liscensed... but since it didn't sell well enough for that, I'm apparently in the minority there. It's your call.

Oh, yeah- those spots where the audio goes out in the Japanese track? It's supposed to do that. Liscening issues. Don't panic like I did.

I guess there's always Youtube to listen to 19:00 News, right?

(That was the Japanese OP1 song that the band wouldn't give permission to be licensed outside Japan) They just used the OP2 (Ultrarelax) in place of OP1, which isn't too bad since that song is also awesome.

I have this on my shelf and the second box-set too. Unfortunately Funimation never finished the series and I never heard why.

If I were you I would keep it. It is a keeper.

The story has some very odd aspects to it but it isn't meant to be realistic. One thing I really like about it is the affection the creators have for each of the characters. No matter how goofy or dysfunctional, they all get to be the straight man at times. Almost as good as Hayate.

thanks for your comments...
i've just finished the first 5 episodes....it's hilariooous.....i like it so far....i might buy the second box set and finish the whole thing eventhough it's not really complete....did the last episode (dubbed by Funi) felt like "it's not finished yet" or did it feel like "it ended well" (for someone who didn't know that there's 52-100+ episodes more)?

The very, very last episode of the funi release is a recap episode with a lot of the cast debating the excact nature of Sana and Akito's relationship, and mentioning the cast will be in middle school next time. That episode alone is your only real tip-off that there's more of the show, since the one right before that wraps up a pretty major plot arc and feels conclusive. It's an excellent place to stop- you won't feel cheated.
