Great news. Didn't care much for DTB2 (the OVA was great though), but I really enjoyed the first one.

Too much for me to upgrade. Wanted it on BD but will live with the DVD. Saving my money for stuff like GITS BDs.

Aw man, this forced LE thing is starting to take its toll. I need to get out of the game.

tehMTL · 02-18-2015, 03:01 AM

Noooo! Why did this have to happen now... really didnt want to spend anything on TV shows for the next month. Gonna have to pull the trigger since I dont have it.

Yeah tell me about it. You don't even want to see my purchase spread sheet I have.

I hate looking at it every time I add something to it.

I'm amused to find another person that spreadsheet their plan purchases ;O

Well pulled the trigger on a copy of Season 2 LE for $30 shipped. I hope it comes in decent condition.

krazeyeyez · 02-18-2015, 06:34 AM

What are the specs on this? Language and subs? Is there anyway to tell on right stuff (new to this site). Wanna pull the trigger on this and the newest garden of sinners set but can't find any details on right stuf

Thomas Guycott · 02-18-2015, 06:39 AM

Sincerely annoyed by the lack of a regular edition but I assume it was a stipulation for licencing on Blu-ray.

K i r a · 02-18-2015, 07:14 AM

Locked in at 53.99 at rightstuf. Stoked!

Ditto, love the fact that they are having a Funi sale and it counted.

Also most of my LE's are down to $37.79 now.

I spreadsheet all my anime purchases as well, and it includes every anime I've gotten since I started buying 2 years ago... I spent a few hundred over 10 Grand last year

and well over a Grand for this year so far - but this year will be nothing like last year - I promise!

And, I'll need to add another $53.99 to my spreadsheet tonight, lol...

GenPion · 02-18-2015, 06:13 PM

I've never seen this but have wanted to because Yoko Kanno does the music. Great that Season 1 is finally arriving on Blu-ray. I thought it might have just stayed with the season two release. Backwards... but it works out.

That is likely what is going on, Funimation and others are getting Blu-ray licenses from the Japanese owners only if they charge a certain price for the set.

I liked season one far more than season two.

While I can share the sentiment of people who would prefer regular editions, if this is what's going on behind the scenes and they can only do Premium version, so long as they stay in this price range, I'm happy. I always go for the LE, anyways, so it won't affect me too much.

I'm happy to just get it as all we had was the DVD. At least it only is $53 which isn't bad at all. Thank goodness for GA, saved me $6 right there. Also it really cut into the other LE's I had as well.

And I agree with the general consensus on this one. Season 1 is much better then Season 2.

insomniac013 · 02-18-2015, 09:09 PM

I personally would rather have a soundtrack included driving up the price than fancy packaging.

Clark Kent · 02-18-2015, 09:09 PM

The problem is that the OVA included with Season 2 is far more connected to Season 1 in tone and spirit. It is set between the events of those seasons but feels like a part of Season 1 much more.

ovas are great think the problem with season 2 is its 14 episodes shorter than season 1. Probably had a lot of ideas, but had to fit it in 12 episodes
