I think they just happened to print a bunch of sets of four, so they're more common than, say, Maison Ikkoku season 7 or 8 box sets. Isn't Tokyo Pop a defunct company?drauch wrote:Are you sure? I thought Marmalade Boy was still in print? At least it's still cheap for new DVDs on Amazon.

Damn it. I thought I saw this and didn't click on the right link or something. Clannad is on sale for 12 bucks total... I paid about 34!drauch wrote:Also, just in case anyone didn't know, Rightstuf is having a big 12 day sale on various anime/manga and merch. Lots of turds, but quite a few good things as well. 6 more days until it's all over, with new items each day. I'm racking up quite the list so far.
ADV still exists, in several forms - the same production teams still produce content under the labels Sentai Filmworks and Section 23 (among others). The ADV name is no longer used on a consumer level but the company still exists in order to manage whatever properties it is still holding on to - and in fact, made headlines a couple months ago for opening litigation against GAINAX over the attempted live-action Evangelion movie.Estebang wrote:ADV, once a pillar of the American industry, is also gone. They dissolved and sold off all their licenses in 2009. I talked with some of their staff at an anime con once; they were cool people, even if they didn't always know what they were doing.
I see sounds interesting, thanks for the infoxbl0x180 wrote:
Actually, it's more like The Brady Bunch, but with only Marcia and Greg. Now, add in some high school dramedy a la My So-Called Life and you gots a composite of Marmalade Boy. It's unashamedly frilly and girly to the point that I wouldn't admit in public to watching it. However, it's well done, whether it's the designs, the animation quality, the voice acting and on to the background music and theme songs. Notice how most people who see it become hooked and very few dislike it (and even then the criticism is mostly towards the latter third of the show). Compared by today's standards, the series is quite long and drawn out at more than 70 episodes

The episodes for Marmalade Boy should be way more accessible to see or cheaper to buy than Maison Ikkoku (90 episodes) and Kimagure Orange Road (1 pilot episode, 50 episodes, 8 OAVs, 1 movie, and 1 special). All three series are outta print, but the latter two have sets or discs that you can't find anywhere.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/php ... p?t=349094Due to bankruptcy laws in Texas, ADV was able to avoid dying completely by selling off all of its properties and materials to itself, acting as five seperate companies rather than just one. So Sentai Filmworks and Section 23 are just subdivisions of what ADV used to be, so ADV still exists, just not as a single brand anymore.
You mean to ask if Voltron is any good?! Does a bear s*** in the woods and does the U.S. govt. only protect the interests of their rich friends?Raytrace wrote:is Armored Fleet Dairugger XV any good?
haha yeah I suppose - I did mean specifically Armored Fleet on it's own though, then again it must be pretty good :pxbl0x180 wrote:You mean to ask if Voltron is any good?!

Seriously, man, is Armored Fleet good? Does penn state and the catholic church protect child rapists? I think the only downside is that they do not include the edited dubbed episodes. For me, it's not a deal breaker since I saw it dubbed in Spanish. Disc sets are around 20 bucks each, so it's around 60 dollars total for the whole series. I'm leaning towards getting the incomplete set of Machine Robo (GOBOTS!) for 10Raytrace wrote:haha yeah I suppose - I did mean specifically Armored Fleet on it's own though, then again it must be pretty good :pxbl0x180 wrote:You mean to ask if Voltron is any good?!

The latest volume of the manga came with a 200-yen-off coupon which means it should only cost like 36 dollars.
Excellent choice. I just watched through it last week, great stuff. It's the kind of military-sci-fi-mecha anime I wish every Gundam series was.Raytrace wrote:ive decided imma watch Gundam - The 08th MS Team or wotever its called next...
