Thanks for the tip. I might have to spend some money there.
But there does seem to be a problem with the link.
Try this. (http://www.animeigo.com/home.t)

Picked up Kimagure Orange Road TV, OVAs, Movie and Crusher Joe and Arcadia My youth. Im glad now that I wasnt too tempted by the righstuf deal on KOR. Also would have jumped on Youre Under Arrest and Urusei Yatsura if they had been the same price as KOR. 10 bucks a pop was too much for me to swallow.

[RabidCoqui]

If UY wasn't so long I would buy it... when they were halfway through releasing it I made the decision to not get it... in order for me to change my mind it would have to be even cheaper than this. /images/graemlins/sweat200.gif

[mattsh]

*falls over dead*

What in the world is in the water all these online stores are drinking?! All these sales at once are liable to kill poor otaku like me. /images/graemlins/cry00000.gif

First Right Stuf gets me with the ADV sale. Then the Funi sale. Then some awesome weekly sale items. Then DVD Planet's Geneon sale. Now Animeigo wants me to buy stuff (and I likely will...).

And the DDD sale is likely to start in a week or two!?!?! Someone save me please. /images/graemlins/catgirl0.gif

[guido7]

Yep, saw this last night--perfect opportunity to finish off my UY set (will wait on the last set, however). I just hate that I had bought 31 & 32 already, I couldn't justify getting the boxset because I already had that /images/graemlins/sad.gif

I keep on hoping they're going to sell some boxes individually someday so that my whole collection can have boxes.

[Sugei]

Damn so tempting!

I have the first four UY boxsets but there's still so much more UY!

I could get UY volumes 21-45 OVA's 1-6 and Movies 1-5 for just 360 bucks "LOL"

I know that's cheap but ouch that's still alot of moola

In reality I think I'll pick up the OVA's, the Movies, and Vampire Princess Miyu volume 2 (I have volume 1), Riding Bean, and AD Police files.

That's still almost 140 bucks! I'll have to figure out a way to collect the T.V. series somehow eventually. /images/graemlins/depresse.gif

[Azumangaman]

Right now, it's all of Kimagure and Movie 1 (the OVA covers are far too sketchy for a 13 year old /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif) movies 3-6 (the free movie box too), UY OVA Boxset and Otaku No Video for...
187.52 AND FREE SHIPPING!!

Also, is Kimagure Orange Road appropriate for me (for me= no or very little nudity, as little fanservice as possible because fanservice isn't my style). The price is fantastic, and I really don't want to say no...

EDIT: Ok, well it seems free shipping is only to the US, but when I try to ship to Canada, it says NOT AVAILABLE! What's going on here?

Those are damn good prices on the KOR Movie and OVAs. 3 DVDs for under $18 with free shipping.

I bought the box set for $32-ish during the last DDD 20% off sale, and I thought it was a damn good price /images/graemlins/shy00000.gif

[dunno001]

Great... almost $310 for more UY, and I'm STILL not done buying it! But now all that's left are TV vols 46-50! I'm liking this $10/disk thing...

(And I did pass on the free UPS 2nd day... I don't trust UPS to touch anything.)

I dunno, but it's annoying. If free shipping can't be extended to Canada, then fine, whatever, it's not like I'm not used to that. But why keep me in the dark about shipping charges until after I place the order?

Diggin into my head, I DO remember something like this. For payment I just chose something like Give Credit Card Number over the phone, clicked "next page" and the order was placed. I then replied on my confirmation telling them to cancel the order. BANG! You find out the shipping and then make a real order...Yes, it's that difficult!

Yup, USPS for me. I already had boxes 1-7 so I only got 8, 9, and the OVAs.

[Dagger]

Oh god... I'm so tempted to get all of KOR and all of Urusei Yatsura that's available. (Now I'm glad I held off on TRSI's KOR bundle, heh.) I might actually do it... *agonizes* /images/graemlins/stunned0.gif

ETA: And I did it. Wow, now I know for sure that I'll never catch up on my backlog. /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif

[Azumangaman]

Ok, well apparently there's free shipping to canada (I spent 187 bucks!)
Of course that was a practice order-time to make it real!

[Legion]

Thanks for confirming that.

[Teiresias]

If the DDD sale hits this week, I'm committing seppuku --anybody willing to be kaishaku ? /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

Picked up all of Kimagure & VPM--this was neither in my plans, nor within my budget!

I'll volunteer, but you have to shoot me quick after I do you in. If this sale is still active as of 6/8/06 I am dead meat. I held off on the rest of UY hoping to get this $10/per deal again, but I didn't expect it to hit right after I got hit with THREE big purchases from other sales. Although it looks like I'm going to blow off the DDD 20% sale this time; I'm going to be just wiped out. Well, my anime budget, not me, but DAMN! /images/graemlins/cry00000.gif

Edit: Oh well. Still active. /images/graemlins/cry00000.gif I picked up A!MG, KOR, and finished UY too. I even paid the full price on the last box just to show my appreciation for them seeing it through to the end. I'm not going to say what the final damage was. Lum owns my soul. /images/graemlins/depresse.gif

Sorry, I couldn't wait for your sword, so after completing my DDD order (which followed my Funi, Geneon, Busty & Animeigo--every single KOR dvd!!--orders that are all in the works), I killed myself by committing seppuku with my credit card. It was time consuming, and agonizingly painful--but Oh so appropriate. Don't let anybody tell you those things are not weapons... /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

What kind of packaging does the KOR Ova/Movie boxset come in? Does it contain the same individual DVD cases, packaging, inserts as the regular releases?

If an set comes in a box, I usually defer to that if it contains the same release as the original (ie no thinpack)..
Thanks

It comes in a box with the same discs and cases.

[jlazar]

Well, this finally caused me to get the UY Movies and OVAs (already have the VHS and resisted the DVDs... until now).

Same deal with the KOR DVDs... Have the VHS tapes, but just didn't make the leap (partly was money available when they were first released on DVD and also the OP/ED fiasco, thankfully these should be the corrected discs (or I'll be pissed)).


I'm still waiting for them to license Yawara so Robert can die before it's finished. /images/graemlins/happy.gif

[Koshiba]

I picked up the KOR movie and OVAs. Was thinking about getting some more UY but decided against it for now.

You don't need to tell me that; I've seen Noir. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif No, I think I will pass on the DDD sale...I've got a good couple months added to the backlog the last two weeks as is. /images/graemlins/knowital.gif It's not that I would go into debt, I just don't want to spend the money. Anytime I approach 4 figures in a month it's time to step back. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

[JasonSolaris]

I'm really starting to get into Urusei Yatsura, but with the recent sales on different sites, can't make anymore purchases at the moment. Does anyone have any information when the sale at Animeigo is over?
Thanks

[Steve_the_Talking_Pie]

I called Animeigo a while ago. THen plan to run the sale to the end of the month, however they said it could be stopped whenever they want to. You should be safe, as I have two more purchases planned this month. If you are concerned of it stopping, I say compile a quick purchase.

[JasonSolaris]

I emailed Animeigo regarding their boxes and it seems that they sell direct to consumers and very few retail location stock them. I read the review for the KOR boxset on AOD and they reported it was shipped in a box that just had enough room for the box itself and got easily damaged during shipping..

I'm eying the remaining Uresei Yatsura boxsets they have and was wondering if they improved their packaging policy since the KOR boxset..

BTW: does anyone have any pictures of the KOR box? I haven't been collecting anime for very long and can't imagine a box that would hold 12 individual volumes. It must have been a huge sucker..
Thanks

It's probably a moot point, since they don't havce the box available for purchase, just the individual 12 volumes.

[raence]

So is KOR sub only?

[naiera]

Yes it is, exactly as it says on the website.

Nothing compared to the Star Trek: Voyager boxes my brother sent away for, that held 13 VHS tapes each.

[Dagger]

Wow... so the biggest DVD box of my life came in today. At first I thought it was my DDD package, as I never got a shipping confirmation from AnimEigo, and I was all, "So what the hell did I order!?"

I'm pretty happy with the condition in which my UY and KOR DVDs arrived, except for the fact that an inordinate number of the UY discs are floaters. I can't really be bothered to spot-check all of them, and I've never had a floater that I couldn't play after some careful cleaning. I just hope my luck holds out.

I also got a duplicate set of UY volumes 26 through 30. I have everything else I was supposed to have gotten, so I'm not really sure what to do about it. /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif

[naiera]

I also had a crazy number of UY floaters last time I got a bunch from DDD. Basically, every keep case that was really old and shitty had a floater. I really don't like that, but luckily they all played, and now they're all exchanged for m-locks.

[Koshiba]

My package was only a small one of 4 DVDs since that's all that I ordered this time around. My problem this time though was.. They sent me KOR TV 1-2 when I ordered OVA 1-2. I've emailed them about it so hopefully they get back to me on fixing this. :X

You can either contact Animeigo or sell them off somewhere.

[Aoi]

Oh god... So with the OVA/Movie disks, do the liner notes come in one of the packages (I'm guessing there were liner notes with the box)? I have the tv series in its box, and some OCD part of me wants the OVAs with their box as well, but this price is just so damned good. Argh...

The liner notes are available online at the animeigo site...

[Hunter Sopko]

Picked up the rest of the UY TV series I needed... Boxes 7-10. 250 bucks... but worth it! Already had all of KOR, so it's nice to finish off another series. We'll see what condition they're in when they come in.

[frijoles]

Robert Woodhead sent out an email to the mailing list that they found some KOR boxsets and are now available
for order on their website. And they have empty boxes too.

Sure, after my order ships, they have the OVA?movie boxsets available for a good price and have boxes for the tv discs. I'll have to see if I can snag one of the boxes.

[MadL]

AnimEigo's posted details on getting KOR boxes on their website (all bolding copied from the site):

[ QUOTE ]
# If you want the complete set of KOR TV DVDs (1-12), you can order the box set. There is no guarantee you will get one. If we have one left, we stick the 12 DVDs into it, and you get it. If we run out, you just get the 12 DVDs. The price is the same either way.


# If you've already bought KOR, but don't have the box and you want it, then order at least 12 other individual (non-box set) DVDs plus the “Kimagure Orange Road TV DVD Box Set (Box Only)” item, and we'll pop your DVDs into the box for shipping. Again, there is no guarantee you'll get a box. You cannot make your order contingent on getting a box set; if you don't want the DVDs by themselves, don't order them. The box set is just a bonus that you might get if you are lucky. We won't be surprised if they're all gone in a single day. Tomorrow morning we may have orders for 2 or 3 times as many box sets as we actually have. . .


# Because the KOR Movie/OVA Box set is factory-sealed with the DVDs in it, you can't get just the box. Sorry!

[/ QUOTE ]

AE also confirms that both the TV series and OVA/Movie license are about to expire:

[ QUOTE ]
June 14th, 2006: Kimagure Orange Road going out of print

We are saddened to announce that our license to Kimagure Orange Road will soon expire, and so the title will be going out of print. The TV series license expires at the end of July, and the Movie/OVA license expires in the middle of August. If you want to get this title, you should order it as soon as possible using the “Summer of Savings” - we expect that our stock of many of the DVDs will be exhausted before the title goes out of print.

[/ QUOTE ]

[Hunter Sopko]

Thanks a lot for the heads up! I just put my order in for an empty box.

[JasonSolaris]

Hmm. So will most likely the KOR boxsets won't have the liner notes booklets that were originally produced? They just found empty KOR boxes and filling them with the normal DVD release?
Thanks

[Chloe]

Most likely. I'm not sure if they did have such a booklet but if they did it is most likely gone the way of the dodo.

Just a small heads up here; I did my order last thursday, everything seemed ok when I placed my order, but I never got the confirmation e-mail they said would be sent. So I sent off an e-mail, didn't get a reply for the last couple days, and I ended up calling their 800 number to check on it. Turns out I had put ',com' instead of '.com' in my e-mail address, and somehow my whole order had gotten dumped into their trash bin. While it's nice to know it killed my CC info in the process, I could have missed the sale if I had not been slightly paranoid about this. Mind the punctuation! /images/graemlins/stunned0.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

It's possible that they may locate extra booklets at some point. If I happen to be lucky enough to get the box, I'll email them and see what they say about the booklets (presuming that mine doesn't come with one, which is likely).

[JasonSolaris]

I placed my order for the 12 individual KOR DVD earlier this month, but ask to have it held because I won't be able to pick it up until end of the month.. I hope they will be able to see I placed an order for a full set and throw in the box, but I'm not betting on it.. I emailed and see what happens..

Can you just order the KOR box by itself? I was under the impression you had to order 12 other DVDs at the same time and you might get it shipped with the KOR box. Not like the UY movie box that you can order by itself with $3 S/H..
Thanks

Correct, if you order 12 dvd's you can select the empty KOR box and if they have one, they stick them in it.

I ordered on the 5th and still nothing by the 20th. Any news on purchases from the sale.

They said Media Mail is slow. I'm not sure but, when I called earlier today they said if nothing shows up in a week contact them for a new package to be sent with a different shipping on them.

[mighty_vespa]

Nevermind. I f-ed up.

[guido7]

They made some slight updates to the newspost today, apparently.
