Blasphemy! Search it, read it, buy it! You cannot be an avid buyer if you haven't heard of it or seen it. I'd like to see the rerelease artwork of that particular one actually.

To answer some questions about this and the other thinpack re-releases. These contain the same disks as are in the current thinpacks. So, if the series currently has extras, it will continue to have extras. If it does not, it still won't. This is a way to get some of these series that have been hard to find back on the store shelves. The only thing that's changing is the packaging. Prices will even remain the same.

Nice to see a confirmation of what it is. Nice to see about those keeping the extras, but now about the others that don't it's kind of a let dowm. I like the fact that instead of letting things lapse, companies are resoliciting shows that they still have licensed that are hard to find. I applaud ADV... here's your chance to get the show if you haven't yet.

I would have liked to have seen some price drops on these ADV thinpak re-packagings.

If it was the prices that held me off on buying it the first time, a newer or prettier package really isn't going to motivate me to purchase it this time.

The price? Well, for the time that it was released, an entire 26 ep series for$90 was good pricing. WIth online discounts and such, it does go down. Although I do agree, for a repackaging of a series that has been out for quite some time, a lower price would help. It has been years since the original collection.
