R2J/R3 version - "Am I the only one who owns these DVDs"

[Njr Scrawl]

Heh, Asian regions version. :cool: What shows do you own on R2J & R3, which you think only you have in the AoD community.

I don't have many, but think I'm the only AoD poster to own Meimon! Daisan Yakyubu, Tobira Wo Akete and Angel Heart :knowitall:

[muhootsaver]

I think H2 and Hiatari Ryoko R2 would be pretty rare around here. Actually, I'm not sure about Hiatari Ryoko.

[Konoha]

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one with complete sets of L'Ecole de Paris and Le Nouveau Paris with boxes (Sakura Taisen 3 OAVs), but I might be in the minority for having all 10 Tokyo Mew Mew R2s with the girls in pajama boxes (plus v.10 was an extra with box 5).

[Thanatos]

I think H2 and Hiatari Ryoko R2 would be pretty rare around here. Actually, I'm not sure about Hiatari Ryoko.

Sorry, I own both too. You are not an individual and unique snowflake. :P

Sorry, I own both too. You are not an individual and unique snowflake. :P

Dang, another Adachi lover. I didn't think anyone would buy H2. I think the best part of that show was amazing OP. Then it just went down-hill. T__T

[Njr Scrawl]

I have Hiatari Ryokou.

Probably nobody else has any Japanese DVD of Marine Boy :cool: .

[leongsh]

I think H2 and Hiatari Ryoko R2 would be pretty rare around here. Actually, I'm not sure about Hiatari Ryoko.
Another one here who has both. Even have the H2 mug that comes with the limited First Press Edition of the H2 DVD Boxset.

[leongsh]

Hmm... I wonder whether anyone here has all 9 limited edition first press DVDs of Ookiku Furikabutte.

And how about the Slam Dunk DVD Boxset (Sakuragi Hanamichi edition)?

Or the 3 mini boxsets of Ashita no Joe DVDs?

[Balsnac]

Hmm... I wonder whether anyone here has all 9 limited edition first press DVDs of Ookiku Furikabutte.

....raises hand

[leongsh]

Hmm... I wonder whether anyone here has all 9 limited edition first press DVDs of Ookiku Furikabutte.

....raises hand
\o/ Yay! Another Ookiku Furikabutte fan! :sdsmiley:

[Buster Darkwings]

And how about the Slam Dunk DVD Boxset (Sakuragi Hanamichi edition)?


I of course have this, and occasionally wear the jersey (still has the tags on it though). I also have the singles that have artwork not used in the box set.

[Legion]

Well, let's see... Anyone else have any R2J volumes of Koi Koi Seven? I snagged the first volume on a lark while I was at Nakano Broadway last summer. On second thought I have so few R2J/R3's that I may as well list them all.

R2J:

Mind Game (RE)
Dragon Ball Z Vols. 6, 7
Shadow Skill CG OVA
Koi Koi Seven Vol. 1

R3:

Trigun (Cinexus Collection)
Astro Boy 2003 sets 1 and 2

[leongsh]

And how about the Slam Dunk DVD Boxset (Sakuragi Hanamichi edition)?


I of course have this, and occasionally wear the jersey (still has the tags on it though). I also have the singles that have artwork not used in the box set.
:sdsmiley: Forgot that you're the other one here who has it. I think we're the only 2 here who purchased that DVD boxset.

[KShinjo]

I think H2 and Hiatari Ryoko R2 would be pretty rare around here. Actually, I'm not sure about Hiatari Ryoko.
Another one here who has both. Even have the H2 mug that comes with the limited First Press Edition of the H2 DVD Boxset.

Add another. I too purchased Hiatari Ryoko. I'm actually amazed that 4 of us here has gone out to buy the R2 set.

However, I wonder how many here own The Kabocha Wine 2-box DVD set.

How about Metal Armor Dragonar?

Hi no Tori 2772 - Ai no Cosmo Zone?

[treatment]

I think H2 and Hiatari Ryoko R2 would be pretty rare around here. Actually, I'm not sure about Hiatari Ryoko.

Not really. I have confidence that leongsh pretty much owns most (or all) of Adachi's anime coz he's seems to be mega-rich for a non-japan resident to be able to actually afford the Touch-boxset in one fell swoop back in the day. H2 and HR costs peanuts combined compared to the Touch boxset. :relief:

Iirc, there was another old AOD-member based in France that also have all of Adachi's anime when he posted his anime-shelves, but I can't seem to remember his handle-name now. I think he even had the ultra-rare Miyuki-boxset.

fwiw, I was gonna buy the H2 boxset back in the day, but I think it went OOP on Amazon.jp rather quickly. :angry:

[alexd00]

but I might be in the minority for having all 10 Tokyo Mew Mew R2s with the girls in pajama boxes (plus v.10 was an extra with box 5).
Probably in the minority, but you're not alone :)

I would guess the most obscure R2 DVD I own is the Mahoromatic Comic Gum Special. I think it was a mail-in offer for subscribers. AnimeJungle got in a copy and I bought it off them.

Other stuff that may be some combination of rare/hard-to-get/obscure:
Cardcaptor Sakura TV (original release) with all the boxes & 1st press goods
Di Gi Charat: Final Party Night
Under17: Ura Un 7

[PhilipReuben]

I might be in the minority for having all 10 Tokyo Mew Mew R2s with the girls in pajama boxes (plus v.10 was an extra with box 5).

I did have these, but along with numerous other things, the first 5 DVDs were stolen when my house got broken into -_- I still have all the packaging though (at my mum's house), so hopefully one day I'll be able to replace the DVDs themselves. Not a priority though since I haven't even finished watching it through once yet, let alone wanted to rewatch the first half.

[treatment]

fwiw, barring any more unforeseen emergencies:sweat1: this year, i will prolly be the only AOD-member in here that will own:
Voltes V boxset (http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/switch-language/product/B000H9HR7S/ref=dp_change_lang?ie=UTF8&language=en%5FJP)
Daimos boxset (http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E9%97%98%E5%B0%86%E3%83%80%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A2%E3%8 2%B9-DVD-BOX%E3%80%90%E5%88%9D%E5%9B%9E%E7%94%9F%E7%94%A3%E 9%99%90%E5%AE%9A%E3%80%91-%E7%A5%9E%E8%B0%B7%E6%98%8E/dp/B000M5KBIO/ref=pd_bxgy_d_img_b)At least, by late this year, I'm hoping. :cool:

[leongsh]

There's another here who has done the same as me - Thanatos, take a bow too. In any case, the Touch DVD Boxset, even for the price that it was selling at (List price: ¥88,000), is a steal! I'm not mega-rich. Just prioritising my purchases. When a classic anime like Touch, and a Mitsuru Adachi show at that too, gets released for the first time on DVD, it gets priority Number 1!

[muhootsaver]

0_0 wow, there's a lot more Adachi fans than I thought! I really do have to wonder why none of the show or manga have yet to come across US(I'm guessing Japanese license holder is asking for a heck of a price;;; ). And yeah, I used to want that Touch Box-set so much. It was pretty cheap over the YJ auction too so it was pretty tempting. ~_~ I wonder if any of the AOD member owns LOGH R2 though (I don't have it;;; whoever owns it, hats off to you) And I think the whole Dragon Ball R2 would be pretty much a winner. I saw this guy from Korean forum who owns the whole DB box series + DB singles. Crazy.

[sailor53]

I don't have a whole lot so I'm going to list them all

Sailor Moon Volume 01
Sailor Moon R The Movie

[Shiroi Hane]

A fair number of my R2s are Kyoani titles and these are also pretty popular in general, but must other people seem to have stopped Lucky Star after a volume or two but I have all the LEs (bar the last one due out this month)

I've not seen anyone else here in the orgy or buying threads getting the Dennou Coil LEs (although Dave Stroud is getting the REs).

I'm pretty sure no-one else here has any of the Gigantic Formula DVDs.

I know Fabio also had the Kiddy Grade DVDs but since he's gone.. unless Sakura Shinguji has them (I seem to remember him having the movies at least) I may be alone. I have the first and last R3 volumes also.

I don't think anyone else has the Utakata DVD boxes.

I don't expect anyone else has Oshare Majo Love and Berry: Shiawase no Mahou, and they aren't missing much.

I also have a random Angelic Layer DVD I got cheap (volume 8)

[The Great Bear]

In general, all the R2s I have are from popular titles, so I doubt I'm the only one with them.

That said, does anyone else have the R2 Starship Operators box that came with vol.2? Or the Kannazuki no Miko R2 box that came with vol.1? I also happen to have the second Genshiken boxset, the Kujibiki Unbalance box (before they decided to actually make a KujiAn show :knowitall:) But I doubt I'm unique in having these things, as I'm sure there are others that do.

I do have Steel Angel Kurumi Zero. Not sure how many would have that. I also have a couple of the DVD singles of the OVA (the ones with Kurumi and Saki on them).

[Randall Flagg]

In any case, the Touch DVD Boxset, even for the price that it was selling at (List price: ¥88,000), is a steal! I'm not mega-rich. Just prioritising my purchases. When a classic anime like Touch, and a Mitsuru Adachi show at that too, gets released for the first time on DVD, it gets priority Number 1!

Yep.
*guards Touch box with life*

[Randall Flagg]

I do have Steel Angel Kurumi Zero. Not sure how many would have that.

*raises hand*

[greatcircle]

Kaleido Star: Legend of Phoenix R3TW, anyone?

[tseniv]

Hmmm.... as much as I currently and used to own there doesn't seem like much that I'm the sole owner on this site. Here's a couple I doubt others may own:

Bleach The Sealed Sword Frenzy Jump Festa 2006 OVA
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Collector's Edition
Noiseman Sound Insect
Songs for Everybody -Smile-
Spirited Away Collector's Edition
Two-Mix White Reflection

Here's some that I feel a couple of you may have also acquired:
Azumanga Daioh Short Short Movie
D4 Princess
Grasshoppa! vol.4
Kochira Kameari Kouenmae Hashutsujo Movie 1 & 2

[Roujin0308]

Hmm... I wonder whether anyone here has all 9 limited edition first press DVDs of Ookiku Furikabutte.

I believe I do ... 3 boxes, some baseball cards, and a couple special CDs, right?

Hmmm, don't have any Adachi shows, nor Slam Dunk, but sports shows I own that maybe other people don't include:
Air Master - just v5 through 9 to cover what Toei (US) left unfinished
Hikaru no Go - 26 discs (singles)
Princess Nine - bought before R1 license, circa 1999/2000
Attack No.1 (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1186) - complete collector's edition box set
Dokaben (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1308) - the big bento box set
Yawara! - complete (tv series) edition

[Roujin0308]

In general, all the R2s I have are from popular titles, so I doubt I'm the only one with them.

That said, does anyone else have the R2 Starship Operators box that came with vol.2? Or the Kannazuki no Miko R2 box that came with vol.1?

No to Starship Operators (picked up only v1 as a sampler), but yes to Kannazuki no Miko. I think there should be a few others who have that as well.

Looking at my R2 collection, I don't see much left that hasn't been licensed. Guess that's good, in a way ...

[Njr Scrawl]

I seem to be the only person buying the Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien ~Next Season~ OVAs as they come out. They are in fact telling what happened if Rumbling Hearts had ended the other way to how it did, starting from Haruka's awakening.

Its surprising that nobody here is buying them (apart from me) & that they are not fansubbed yet (AFAIK).

[iserlohn]

How about these for unusual R2:

Future Police Urashiman (And for $40 at the NYC book-off no less!)
Space Musketeer Bismark (both sets)
Brave of Gold Goldran

[relentlessflame]

I seem to be the only person buying the Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien ~Next Season~ OVAs as they come out. They are in fact telling what happened if Rumbling Hearts had ended the other way to how it did, starting from Haruka's awakening.I've been collecting these as well. Seems the next episode recently got delayed another month (into June), but the cover suggests who it'll be focused on...

A fair number of my R2s are Kyoani titles and these are also pretty popular in general, but must other people seem to have stopped Lucky Star after a volume or two but I have all the LEs (bar the last one due out this month)Another in your boat, though I was seriously wondering about it once they license was announced. Now I have to decide if I'm going to buy the series again in R1...

(And, incidentally, I wanted the Uta~Kata boxes, but was stuck with the singles at that point. A part of me is still tempted to try to find them...)


In terms of shows that I highly doubt anyone else collected in R2, going for poor sellers is a pretty safe bet. I'm thinking stuff like Canvas 2, Mamoru-kun, Lamune, and Lovely Idol are all pretty unlikely to be owned by many other English-speakers. Maybe Asatte no Houkou as well. I would add Kagihime and Polyphonica too, but I know at least one more person in each case who bought them.

[Draneor]

Actually, I'm buying them too. Sorry.

I think I might be the only person getting H2O - footprints in the sand and D.C. II here, but they're not exactly rare. So I wouldn't be surprised if someone else was getting them.

Oh, I have Saishuu Shiken Kujira. I bet no one else bought that one.

[relentlessflame]

[Draneor]

Got you on all three. Actually, since we share such similar tastes, I'd almost be willing to bet I've got everything you got, scarily enough... :sweat1:

Heh. Honestly, I doubt there would be really much of anything released in the past five years that at least two people here didn't buy. Although, do promo discs count?

I considered dropping it when the R1 was announced, but my decision became a lot easier when I realised that since I had pre-ordered the complete set from Yesasia I couldn't cancel it anyway due to their peculiar rules.

[quote](And, incidentally, I wanted the Uta~Kata boxes, but was stuck with the singles at that point. A part of me is still tempted to try to find them...)
Weren't the boxes solicited and released at the same time as the singles?

[relentlessflame]

Weren't the boxes solicited and released at the same time as the singles?I'm pretty sure they were, but the boxes were limited editions, and the singles were/are still available in abundance. I started collecting R2 DVDs about a year or so after the show aired, so at that point the boxes were difficult to find (and I wasn't up on the whole "agent" thing at the time). Still regret it a bit though -- the boxes seem much nicer! :sweat1:

Mind Game
Pale Cocoon


Those would be the only two R2J DVDs I own, and I'd say I only know for certain that Hellkorn has those DVDs as well.

Legion has Mind Game, and I think leongsh and Teisuu have Pale Cocoon.

My list:

Digimon Adventure - The First Two Movies*
Eternal Family
Gauche the Cellist
Princess Arete

I seriously regret that Noiseman Sound Insect is absolutely impossible to obtain now...

*Directed by Mamoru Hosoda (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, One Piece Movie 6). They were licensed and released as a significantly edited/butchered form in the U.S. with the third movie of the franchise.

[leongsh]

... and I think leongsh and Teisuu have Pale Cocoon.
Oh my... someone is keeping track of some of my purchases o_O :sweat:

However, I cannot recall disclosing the purchase of Pale Cocoon here as I usually do not participate in the monthly purchase threads. The rest that I have mentioned is known as I have posted about those purchases before in the respective show-related threads.

[miake]

Hmm... I wonder whether anyone here has all 9 limited edition first press DVDs of Ookiku Furikabutte.
Would've shelled out for this if it wasn't an odious 9 disc release for 25 episodes (not counting the special). :depressed:

I have a lot of random R2 discs of certain series for the extras, but the only 2 complete R2 series I own (thus far) are Mononoke and Honey & Clover (both seasons).

The only R3 I own is Slam Dunk. If there aren't license rescues of some of the other Geneon titles, I may decide to go the R3 route on some of those.

[The Great Bear]

Honey & Clover (both seasons).

I have Honey and Clover, both season, all LEs. [And am glad it was back when the exchange rate was better. If it were today…not a chance].

[The Pirate Queen]

all 10 Tokyo Mew Mew R2s with the girls in pajama boxes (plus v.10 was an extra with box 5).

Yup I have those. Along with the limited edition versions of Princess Tutu 1-4, all of the Sailor Moon first press boxes (including the PGSM ones!), both Oniisama E box sets, Rose of Versailles boxes, and a handful of others.

[Hayate Kurogane]

Kind of a tricky thread, since I would guess there's likely to be more DVDs from these regions than others that only one person who regularly posts here might own, simply because we buy less of these. Though it looks like there are some interesting shared interests judging from posts thus far.

The R2J discs from my collection that I'm somewhat sure others may not own, or at least have never seen anyone post about that I can recall, are:

- Ao no Rokugo Blue Fleet Box
- Gunslinger Girl DVD Box (first press)
- Bakuretsu Tenshi: Infinity

And, while I do know one other person owns this disc, since he was the one who found me my copy, there's the first episode of the original Lingerie Senshi Papillon Rose. Never bothered with the TV series, since I couldn't find anyone with anything good to say about it.

[Hayate Kurogane]

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one with complete sets of L'Ecole de Paris and Le Nouveau Paris with boxes (Sakura Taisen 3 OAVs)...

I've got all the LEs or FPs or whatever they were for Le Nouveau Paris, but I was late to the game with Ecole de Paris and I feel sad because of it. I guess they're really not that hard to find, though.

[Hayate Kurogane]

I know Fabio also had the Kiddy Grade DVDs but since he's gone.. unless Sakura Shinguji has them (I seem to remember him having the movies at least) I may be alone.

I finally have the third movie, but I never did acquire any of the TV series discs. I considered the upcoming box sets briefly, before remembering that I don't really feel that strongly about the series.

Or the Kannazuki no Miko R2 box that came with vol.1? I also happen to have the second Genshiken boxset...

I've also got the Kannazuki no Miko volume 1 box, as well as volumes 2 through 4. Despite owning Geneon's R1 release, and being perfectly happy with the job they did, I still have volumes 5 and 6 of the R2s on my "buy eventually" list, since I just can't stand to have a box that's not full. :sweat:

I don't own the second Genshiken box, but I do own the first one, bought during a CD Japan sale a couple of years ago. I kept meaning to buy the other two, since I want nothing to do with Media Blasters, but thankfully Japan has saved me some money by announcing a box set (as well as an OVA box set) for release next month.

[Orihara_Kaoru]

Maybe my Gokinjo Monogatari set or Nurse Angel Ririka SOS box (with Ririka figure)?

[Marrach]

I'm not sure how many Minekura fans hang out around here, but among my R2 collection are the Araiso Private High School Student Council Executive Committee OVA discs.

[Njr Scrawl]

A release I wish I had bought, but missed, was the GiTS:Innocence "Dog Box" LE. Has anyone got that?

I've got 2 x Genmu Senki Leda DVDs, (& the LD), but I'm sure its been popular though OOP at present. Cleopatra DC is on order. I also have the R3 box sets of Perrine "En Famille", which has English subtitles.

[Draneor]

Got you on all three. Actually, since we share such similar tastes, I'd almost be willing to bet I've got everything you got, scarily enough... :sweat1:

Do you or anyone else have Nagasarete Airantou? I hope I'm not the only overseas person that imported it.

[Teisuu]

Idol Defense Force Hummingbird LE box is rather rare item, I think. I also doubt too many people own Twilight Q or Vampire Princess Miyu OVA. The latter is the oldest DVD I have - released on December 17, 1997.

Mind Game
Pale Cocoon
Legion has Mind Game, and I think leongsh and Teisuu have Pale Cocoon.
:shy: :sweat:

[Njr Scrawl]

I have Humming Bird. It was my first R2J box set as the title was released subbed on VHS in the UK.

Which reminds me - my second was Phantom Buster Miku, a show I've still not watched, IIRC it has character designs by the creator of OMG & YUA.

[The Pirate Queen]

Maybe my Gokinjo Monogatari set or Nurse Angel Ririka SOS box (with Ririka figure)?

I envy them both!

[Orihara_Kaoru]

Maybe my Gokinjo Monogatari set or Nurse Angel Ririka SOS box (with Ririka figure)?

I envy them both!

And I envy your Princess Tutu stuff! Those boxes look gorgeous. I need something pretty to hold my R1 singles. :(

[ZenAmako]

Hmmm.... as much as I currently and used to own there doesn't seem like much that I'm the sole owner on this site. Here's a couple I doubt others may own:

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Collector's Edition
Two-Mix White Reflection

I have these two, although I don't have the uber edition of Nausicaa - just the one with the statue. I actually thought I'd be the only one with "White Reflection" the Movie.

Some of the R2 DVDs I own:

Angel's Egg (Tenshi no tamago)
Birth
Bubblegum Crisis (OVA) Box
Dangaio (OVA)
Fight! Iczer-One (with storyboard book, also has the movie edition)
Manie-Manie: Labyrinth Tales

I have the above two. Yes, even the Nausicaa set that comes with the statuette of Nausicaa.

[relentlessflame]

Got you on all three. Actually, since we share such similar tastes, I'd almost be willing to bet I've got everything you got, scarily enough... :sweat1:

Do you or anyone else have Nagasarete Airantou? I hope I'm not the only overseas person that imported it.Yup -- I do indeed. All the little cosplay figures were cute extras. :)

[Draneor]

Yup -- I do indeed. All the little cosplay figures were cute extras. :)

I loved those figures. I missed out on the first three that came with certain LEs of the manga though. ;_;

Surely, we can't have the exact same tastes. Please don't tell me you're considering getting To LOVEる from the spring season. :P

[relentlessflame]

Surely, we can't have the exact same tastes. Please don't tell me you're considering getting To LOVEる from the spring season. :P*shifty eyes* :sweat1:

Yeah, it was indeed on the short list (probably the only thing other than D.C. II S.S. that I'll get from this season). Just have to make sure I can afford it (darn you, dollar)...

[Draneor]

Haruhi dammit. I'm getting D.C.II.S.S. too and To LOVEる (provided I have the funds). I give up. There is nothing I own DVD-wise or ever will own you do not also have (all I have left in my collection are titles I know other people bought, Kanon, Sola, Clannad, Ef, Nanatsuiro★Drops, etc). I don't make enough to win this battle.

Maybe I should try to get into tokusatsu or something.

[miake]

I have Honey and Clover, both season, all LEs. [And am glad it was back when the exchange rate was better. If it were today…not a chance].
Seriously. On my last order from AmazonJP in April, the rate I got hit with was 99yen to the dollar. :cry: I'm trying to be very selective with the dvds I import. I do have my Oofuri live event dvd shipping next month, along with tons of cds...I'm praying for the rate to at least hold steady if not improve.

[HellKorn]

Oh my... someone is keeping track of some of my purchases o_O :sweat:

It's pure guess work, really. I know that you've seen it and think highly of it, and considering from your comments, you tend to buy R2 DVDs of stuff you're quite fond of. Made a similar judgment of Teisuu's habits.

[vanfanel]

My obscurest of obscure:

* Ninja Kamui Gaiden movie
* Nanatoshi Monogatari OVA (A Tale of Seven Cities(?))
* Sequence OVA
* Hidamari no Ki TV (A Tree in the Sun)
* Anne of Green Gables TV
* Pollyana TV 1-6
* 3,000 Leagues in Search of Mother TV (R3 w/subs)
* A few other World Masterpiece Theater disks

[tseniv]

Some I forgot because I have them listed under "Goods" instead of "DVD" releases.

Interceptor Doll Hoihoi-san volume 1 w/DVD
Otogi-jushi Akazukin Konami Figuanime Project #1 w/Figure & DVD

I was tempted to also list the March 2003 volume of Newtype because it came with the Neon Genesis Evangelion Renew Special DVD but pretty sure someone else here has it.

[leongsh]

I'm curious to know how many people here purchased the Sword of the Stranger - Mukoh Hadan Limited Edition DVD set. I would find it hard to believe if I'm the only one. Anyone here who would fess up? :P

[Njr Scrawl]

Has anyone else got any Black Lagoon R2J, either season? I didn't think of this at the time, but maybe like me, you got impatient waiting for Second Barrage on R1, or wanted better quality for the Jp. track audio?

Let's see... I own volumes 1 & 5 from the first season and all six from Second Barrage on R2. In addition to, I also got the seven volumes of the manga & "Rei Hiroe Artworks: Barrage." Good stuff!

[Njr Scrawl]

Heh, I just got Barrage book this weekend. What do you think of Phantom Bullet? I have all the manga too (Roberta story & ending much better!), & only have vol.1 of S1 which I got with the box, & all S2, which I've watched 3 times so far (S1 twice to date).

[Nork22]

Well I'm also one of the few that have both Sakura Taisen 3 OAVs LEs (Ecole de Paris and Le Nouveau Paris) and also the LE box of Su-Mi-Re.

Other things I think I'm in the minority of people who owns them:

Boys Be R2J including the box
Elfen Lied LE Vol.1
Maria-sama ga Miteru LE LD packaging for season 1-2, the countless fandiscs, and the LE boxes of season 3.

[Randall Flagg]

Elfen Lied LE Vol.1


I have that one. I also picked up the last volume (7, I believe) to get the DVD only episode.

Has anyone else got any Black Lagoon R2J, either season?

For me it's ~almost~ same as with tseniv. Purchased the first series of BLACK LAGOON (even double-dipped on the the *if I remember off-hand correctly* fifth DVD because silly me hasn't spent much attention to the Amazon.jp order status ^_~). But due to the content/price ratio decided against going for The Second Barrage.
But while not Anime yet ~somehow~ related I do have Rei Hiroe's BLACKLAGOON Anime Shuuryou Kinenhon (http://dragonautics.co.at/community/usrpages/lhnl/blog/?p=121) if that counts ^_~

Other then that I guess not much Anime DVD purchases that I'd think I'm the only one on this board having done. Well maybe I am the only person crazy enough having gone for all 5 Boxes of MONSTER and the "all-set purchase priviledge" MONSTER Premium DVD (http://dragonautics.co.at/community/usrpages/lhnl/blog/?p=35). I certainly know (due to the request - increasing service fee due to these deputy service M-World Masato got ^_~) that I'm not the only person having gone for the CLANNAD Invitation (http://dragonautics.co.at/community/usrpages/lhnl/blog/?s=monster+premium) DVD (and Keyholder).
And while not *Anime* I guess there aren't that much people on this board that spent a fortune to go for the Mutant Dwarf PRESENTS Dwarf-tachi no Tsudoi♪ ~ 2 Kobushime ~♪ KOTOKO 2006 - 2007 Count Down Special Live (http://dragonautics.co.at/community/usrpages/lhnl/blog/?p=82) DVD.

[Njr Scrawl]

I'd love to have that Black Lagoon book, can they be bought anywhere now? Tex Mex is Rei Hiroe's doujin pseudonym, according to Wiki. Rei Hiroe's "Barrage" doesn't have enough BL pics, (but I like the couple of Fate/Stay Night ones.)

[Rando]

Let's see...

I have all of Sarutobi Ecchan and Dororon Enma-kun on DVD. I pretty sure no one else here has those series. I also got the R2 of the Sukeban Deka OVA.

It's not a DVD, but I have the Japanese VHS for Anderson Douwa: Ningyo Hime (The Little Mermaid). I'm almost positive no one else in America has this. XDD

[Njr Scrawl]

Does anyone own the R2 "Seikai" set - special box set of all the Crest, Battle Flag, II & Special DVDs? Its OOP now according to CDJ.

[Roujin0308]

I have it. iirc, I pre-ordered it through CD Japan ...

[kazuo]

I own R2 Robot Carnival.

Anyone own Transformers Movie or Street Fighter II MOVIE in R2? Cause I have those, and I don't know anyone else that does.

I bought them before Mangle and Sony released better versions in the states. Couldn't stand the craptacular versions that had been put out previously.

[Buster Darkwings]

I used to have The Transformers: The Movie in R2, but I recently sold it on Yahoo Japan for 11,500 yen. The A/V quality on it does suck, but it is a pretty rare disc nowadays.

Don't have the SFII R2 DVD, but I do have it on LD, found it for 150 yen in Akihabara.

[Nuriko]

All are R3 with Japanese/Cantonese audio, no English subtitles

Slam Dunk
Full Metal Alchemist
DBZ entire series
Naruto boxsets 1-6
Hunter X Hunter 1-62 and both OVAs
Cyber Formula Zero, Saga, Double One, Sin
Creamy Mami

The R3 market is growing fast which is deterring me away from R1. The Cantonese voices are very good especially in shonen/fighting series, but for space sci-fi series like Gundam, I have to stick with the R1 Japanese dub.

[Njr Scrawl]

Welcome back! :)

I have the R3 Creamy Mami TV sets. No OVAs however, which the R2 sets did have.

Got the R3 Chinese dub-only "Sunny Spot" movie, which is "Hiatori Ryoko" movie.
"Dog of Flanders" & "Story of Perrine" TV box sets also.

Probably what nobody else has are the R3TW re-mastered "Kimagure Orange Road" TV & OVA box sets, & R3 "Shonan Bazukozen"(sp) sets.

[Innocent Bystander]

Probably what nobody else has are the R3TW re-mastered "Kimagure Orange Road" TV & OVA box sets

Are these the ones listed here (http://mall.jsdvd.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=orange+road)?
Do you know how they compare to the R2JP remasters?

Those are the ones. They might also be sold from Yesasia.

They are not as good as the R2J remasters, but are better quality than Animeigo's. (There was a comparison pic posted once but it was removed just because a bootleg cap comparison was included :anger200: )

Proware gave their re-master TV episodes a stereo sound track(!) The colour tint is a bitter cooler/blue-green in places but nothing TV adjustment can't fix. The primary colours are brighter & sharper than Animeigo's DVDs. As the openings are every 2 episodes, it looks like the Japanese DVDs were used.

If you don't need English subtitles, & can't afford the R2J sets, the R3TW are IMO a good bargain. I've not watched the OVAs yet for comparison, but expect those to be OK too.

[Innocent Bystander]

Thanks! I do wonder though how they managed to put together a stereo sound track for the TV series?!? The R2J sets were on my "to buy eventually" list, but a stereo sound track now certainly makes me prefer the R3TW sets, even if there was no price difference.

[Njr Scrawl]

They are a good 2nd choice.

BTW as you are in Europe, there is a (poor video quality) R2 PAL French release of KOR. It is dubtitled from the French dialogue release with the dub names (e.g. Max = Kyosuke), but the Japanese language is there.

http://madoka.ayukawa.free.fr/3309big.jpg

French OVAs set is likewise, but better quality & comes with the Shin KOR novel translated into French. Movie 1's set is better still as it has an extras disc that includes an interview with Akemi Takeda & Shin KOR 2 novel in French. Shin KOR movie itself has a booklet by France's leading KOR fan (I'd like to meet him), & the Shin KOR 3 novel in French.

[Buster Darkwings]

You sure the stereo track isn't just the mono audio encoded to both the left and right channels (what's usually done with DVD)? Is it really a true stereo track with different left and right information, Njr?

[Njr Scrawl]

There is some, but its not that noticable. Mainly character speech seemed more the speaker's side than the other. Proware do their own audio enhancements (my word) generally. A lot of DTS on their DVDs that the Japanese releases don't have, e.g Evangelion TV. If they attempted to make a mono show stereo, I would not be surprised.

Its been a couple of years since I watched my R3 KOR, as the R2J sets have replaced them for DVD quality (I still watch my AE LDs as well), so my memory is a little rusty.

[Innocent Bystander]

Njr, I already own the AnimEigo DVDs and the French manga and novels, so I'm basically fine. I was only planning to buy the R2J DVDs for better video quality (and possibly better sound). With regard to the R3TW release, would you say the video quality is closer to the R1 or closer to the R2J release? And is the music noticeably in stereo? That would actually be a lot more important to me than directionality of character speech. Maybe you could do me a favor and take a quick look at your R3 discs again.

[kazuo]

I used to have The Transformers: The Movie in R2, but I recently sold it on Yahoo Japan for 11,500 yen. The A/V quality on it does suck, but it is a pretty rare disc nowadays.

No kidding? I wasn't aware it went for so much on yahoojp. I should have my friend sell it for me :)

Don't have the SFII R2 DVD, but I do have it on LD, found it for 150 yen in Akihabara.

Nice. My friend used to have the LD, he made me a subtitled VHS tape using it and Central's script.

Now I regret spending so much on it, but who knew Mangle would somehow release it with the original Japanese audio...

[Thanatos]

How about Metal Armor Dragonar?

A purchase I've regreted twice. I'm a slut for 'dem giant robots.

Re: Adachi. Ok, some guys have the Hiatari Ryoukou and/or Touch DVDs. But do you have both the LD AND DVDs for Touch and HR and Touch on VHS?? Do you have the kanzenban versions of the manga?!! Do you live in Gunma to be close to Adachi-sama's birthplace and to steal his Touch-style advertisements for the Gunma Diamond Pegasus baseball team? You have a long way to go before you're as insane and foolish as me. :P

The Hiatari Ryoukou Movie R2 is Chinese-dub only? Eww... just lost all interest in upgrading from the LD.

[Njr Scrawl]

This is the HR movie, mis-titled as Touch but definitely HR movie.
http://mall.jsdvd.com/product_info.php?products_id=12715
Its a movie I keep hoping will get a R2 release with KOR movie 1.

I have the Miyuki memorial box & complete manga, do you have that?

[Njr Scrawl]

Has anyone got Space Adventure Cobra - The Turtle Box (set)?

Doesn't answer my question: is the HR Movie DVD confirmed as Chinese-dub only?

Yes, I have the Miyuki DVDs and manga. I don't have the Turtle Cobra box, but I do have the French box and previous R2 TV discs and the movie.

[arromdee]

Is there anyone else who has Japanese Anime Classic Collection? (Does it count as an R2?)
