I have all 6 volumes but there's still space in the artbox left. I'm wondering if there is another volume comming or is that extra space supposed to be for the OST? I'm 99% sure the series is over at 24 episodes though but thought I'd just ask anyway.

It is just 24 episodes, according to all the sources I've seen. They had a thread about this on AoD where it was theorized that the slipcases messed up the size estimates during production:

I was about to ask the same thing. I know the box came with the soundtrack so maybe the space is for that. Or maybe there's a future OVA/movie in the works. Or maybe that's just me pointlessly hoping that my box won't forever be incomplete heh.

I was wondering the same thing myself.

Thing is I put the CD back into the space and it's really just too tight. So I doubt the space was meant for any more anime or even the soundtrack. I think they just made the box so that all the volumes, including the slipcovers, could fit in and slide out easily. I think they just made the box an eighth of an inch too wide. Embarassed

I just got vol 6 and tried doing that myself and you're right, it is very tight. I suppose they over estimated the width of the dvds with those slip covers on them. Though I suppose it's a trade off I'm willing to deal with as those slip cases are awesome. Especially since they had the small bio on the comic artist who did that individual cases art work. Marc Silvestri ftw on vol 6 btw. My only disappointment was there was no cover by Michael Turner or Christine Wohl.

I found that if you flip the slipcases on the dvds, then put the dvds in the artbox. It helps flatten the slipcases without damage to them.

That wouldn't work in this case considering what we're noticing is that the boxes are too big so even when you have all the volumes inside with their slipcases on there is still extra space and they don't fit in tightly and tend to fall out.
