How could they ruin something so nice...

[WTK]

The main artwork is really nice as it was from the previous re-release. However the S.A.V.E. spine really wrecks that. I will pass on this as I own the ADV singles with artbox.

[chronoclast]

That cover looks awful. Hopefully it will have an actual reversible cover with a spine.

[Daimao Raki]

Passing. *Goes to kiss his ADV boxset.*

[Jackle]

It's just awful. I own FUNi's first release, so pass.

[Shirai]

Too much white space. And the burning building + blood splatter was a cool concept, but it just looks terrible here. Plus that darn S.A.V.E. banner...
(I know it's reversable, but still.)

[Doom86]

This. If not, I'll pick up a previous version.

[mifuneral2]

not nearly as bad as everyone here is making it out to be.

I'm kinda curious about this. Have never seen it nor has anyone I know. Might check it out if the price is right.

It's a solid series with some well written dialog. The fight scenes are extremely fluid, like a lot of newer Production IG series, but I thought it really dragged about 2/3 of the way through and didn't pick back up as well as I would have hoped.

[mifuneral2]

thanks for the info! Still might check it out if I find it cheap enough. These SAVE collections are generally $20-30 after online discounts, right?

You can get the original ADV 6 disc set with art box from Right Stuf for 19.99.

Which has much better video quality, if I am remembering correctly. The Funimation release that I had of this series looked like a YouTube video, IMO.

I don't see that. (http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/qaRriQOVFkucuSE-Ce/browse/search/5/4/0/0/results/desc/asc/50/1) Maybe it sold out? Or am I looking in the wrong place?

You spelled something wrong. http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/0MSj5gcbhNI0Cvvit7/browse/item/80499/4/0/0

Thanks, I ordered that :)

Good for you, they will probably sold out real now!

No, that's before discounts. The MSRPs are set at $10-$30.

That would be Utawarerumono (encoding screw up). I have Funimation's version of Le Chevalier d'Eon and the video quality is really good. Mainly because Neo-ADV was contracted to do the authoring. The first set even included all of the disc extras (on 5 discs).

Uh no! You forgot Jing: King of the Bandits OVA (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0023S49ZO) and Blade of the Phantom Master (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0023S4A1W) which are both priced at $9.98 MSRP.

And the movie version of Air.

I know about those as I mentioned the 4 price points thus far. I was answering in regards to S.A.V.E. collections more as multi-disc releases.

[WTK]

Enlarged 3D cover art added to the first post...

[Ingraman]

Heh... Seeing Funi's generic S.A.V.E. spine brings back memories of the long gone generic products on grocery store shelves that had plain black/yellow or black/white labeling. ^_^;;

...
Just took a gander and my Le Chevalier d'Eon set and it doesn't have a reversible cover with a title spine.

[KyoKyo84]

actually its not reversible there is nothing on the spine on the inside and no inside cover art other than episode info and such they were just plain lazy with this one sadly i wish and have been searching for a scale print of the REG dvd cover to replace it :(
