And why I am not buying this set ....

You mean the UK DVD set?


P.S.
This release isn't in the database yet.

Dammit!! Got me excited there til I realized this is not the Lone Wolf & Cub series. I already have the Shogun Assassin blu-ray for novelty's sake so will be skipping this.

I am wondering though as to why this came to be 5 discs. Is it:
1st disc - Part 1 & 2 of LW&C
2nd disc - Part 3 of LW&C
3rd disc - Part 4 of LW&C
4th disc - Part 5 of LW&C
5th disc - Part 6 of LW&C

I answered your question in my earlier post.

Dubbed with Rowan Atkinson? That's going TOO far!

(Me, I miss the AnimEigo that used to sell "Urusei Yatsura" on disk.
They'd lost the license years ago, and none of the two or three remaining anime companies are foolhardy enough to pick it up. )
