Cowboy Bebop, probably. That's mostly because it's my favorite anime, but they did do a damn good job with the Remix DVD!

I also wanted to mention that yesterday was the last day Bandai was excepting new orders from retailers, and they are now officially closed to new business. They will be making their final shipments to retailers by Nov 30th, and then that will be it. We've been staggering in Bandai inventory since September in an attempt to stock their stuff as deep as possible, but I have to tell you that based on our wholesale orders over the last 3-4 weeks it's been pretty slim pickins over there and it looks like we'll be lucky to get 20% fills on our final stock orders. Not since Geneon went under have we had such a large catalog of existing Anime title wiped off the 'current' list and moved into the 'out of print' column. Many fans are buying these 5, 10, even 20 at a time to squirrel away into their rainy day funds for future sale on E-Bay. We're already seeing sellouts and low stock on some Bandai titles (especially certain Gundam sets) drive the prices up in the aftermarket, so please folks, try to pickup whatever Bandai titles you want over the next few weeks before they are all gone.

Does the lack of counters mean that they got new stock?
