Shiki is finally going to be available for a reasonable price. Smile

Hmm, I hadn't even noticed that Shiki Part 1 & 2 had been de-listed at TRSI. Guess it's the S.A.V.E. version for me.

Save Edition already for Shiki without even a regular complete collection? It must have sold pretty badly for them. Which makes me sad since it's a great show. Sad

There are some things that interest me for May like Aquarion EVOL and Fairy Tail but those are not priority buys so I'll probably wait for more space-saving collections.

Also those Rightstuf links are dead (with the exception of the Lain Link). They must have taken them down or something.

Yay for Haganai NEXT. I didn't expect to see that on this list for May. Will be getting it. Also should say that One Piece, Season 6 - Voyage 1 is due out on May, 14th so unless that has change, this list has still yet to be updated.

Glad I can finally own Shiki.

It seemed to be the one Funimation title that I wanted that never went on sale (lower than ~30 each for both parts).

TRSI had both editions for a great price during the holiday sale, but yes, this is certainly a good deal. As one of my favorite series that I've recently watched (and in general), I highly recommend anyone who was even remotely interested in this show to pick it up for this price.

Hmm, seems a light month, nothing for me I don't think (I was one of ten people not overly wowed by Shiki, I was expecting far more from the author of Twelve Kingdoms)

Looks like I picked up Shiki at just the right time. This is a pretty light month for Funi, eh?

Yeah, it seemed like every other horror/action series went on sale except that one. It didn't keep me from looking though...

50% percent off during the holiday sale was hardly a good deal when your competition was doing 65% {Got a lot of Sentai titles though}. The good news is that Funimation learned and their recent horror/action releases has been on sale for a great {an actual great} 69% off.

Blood C, Hellsing OVAs, Black Lagoon ... not Shiki of course but if it was Shiki, I would have bit. Bring on the Complete Collection...

Save edition? Are they even trying anymore? I don't who's more jaded anymore, me with the "I'll wait for the right version on some shows" mindset or them with the "Well, it's not going to sell anyway..." strategy.

Well, I'll preorder the Haganai Next LE set. That'll show 'em...
