As title says I imported my 1st Japanese bluray. Its the Baccano Aniplex Box set and it comes with the English dub. It's the exact same as the Aniplex Of America release. While that goes for $500+ online the JP release was only $100 including fees, shipping, and taxes. It even only took a week to get here too. It won't be the last one either.
AoA titles are so expensive and they rarely go on sale so exempting them from the B2G1 deal is so dumb. They would still make tons of money even with the discount. At least do with all the AoA titles like they do with Demon Slayer. Have regular edition and then have the expensive Limited Editions.
Most of these shows are available in the UK at regular prices so Im probably gonna start importing more of these titles. CR is literally losing money by not having AoA titles as apart of these sales.

As you know the Gundam releases are outrageous prices in the states, but hella cheap in the UK. I already have a regular bluray player so changing my ps5 region is no problem. Im gonna order the Gundam series I dont have.
Anyway if anyone has thought about getting a region free bluray player this might be a good option for you too. Many international releases with import fees are still cheaper than releases in your own country. Especially if it's OOP in your country, but not in another country. Im stoked folks. Let's go.
This goes so hard for just a standard dvd release. The slipcover and alternate artwork underneath is great. The reversible cover art is just phenomenal. Its only $20 on amazon too. Totally worth iy. It just needs a HD remaster. I figured it would already have one if it was gonna happen.
I didn't buy any of these expecting them to be worth anything. I just buy what I like and want. I bought all these when they came out. Only thing I wish I bought more of was Gundam. I just wanted the old evangelion dub and not the new one. I love cowboy bebop so the steelbook was a must at the time. Also got Redline years ago. Didnt cost much either. Eureka Seven was available cheap for years. Cant believe its cost so much now. Anime fans love their physical media. So do I.
The 1st two episodes were amazing. Especially the big fight at the end of episode 2. Even during it I was like this feels like a finale type fight. Then episode 3 was okay. Then episode 4 was terrible. They cut so many corners in animation. It was basically one giant slide show for most of it. Very disappointing way to end it. I'd say watch the 1st half and then just skip the last half. Its better that way.
Its still be worth watching even if the ending leaves a sour taste in your mouth. Im still happy Discotek released it. There is just something about these early 90s OVAs that I just dig. Keep it up.
