Anime DVD catch up

(tags anime, DVD region 2)

I complained about not finding the Card Captor Sakura Movie Collection two weeks ago. But I got my copy at Sofmap in South Nipponbashi. Actually, after a weekend it was available everywhere. It wasn't really limited in quantity at all.

One thing that frustrates me is that Kaleido Star (「カレイドスター アンコールDVD-BOX」) was re-released onto DVD one more time, as the "encore" edition with a new soundtrack CD. Buy it again for another 80000 yen! No thanks. That is, if you can find the first set of two new. It's sold out everywhere!

I have been reluctant to continue buying the DVD series Otogi Juushi Akazukin Fairy Musketeers (おとぎ銃士赤ずきん) and Fushigi Hoshi no Futago-Hime Gyu (ふたご星のふたご姫ぎゅう！). I have up to 5 and 4 respectively, but I haven't been watching them. As far as Akazukin is going, the first edition DVDs aren't being sold out so I think I can pick them up whenever I want. Remember the first edition DVDs come with a booklet with illustrations by moe moe Pop-sensei.

I forgot to mention one other frustration. At Tora no Ana store there's a telephone card gift for those who buy Manabi Straight DVDs 1, 2, and 3. Since this is the anime DVD release that I am concentrating on, I feel frustrated by missing this. Granted my eggs are in the Gamers' basket, since they also have a telephone card tokuten gift, but only if you buy all seven DVDs. Guess I'll have to pick up the telephone card pre-owned somewhere.
