Anime boxsets.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 11-05-2005, 10:09 AM

Since the first time in the history of ever I actually wanted something specific for my birthday, my father-type-creature decided it was all cool to order me the boxset of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

Does anyone else have a massive love-fascination for boxsets?

Do you have a complete DVD/video set of any anime?

Are you highly careful with the cases and such and keep them almost as collectables, besides opening to watch?

...I intend on adding to my collection. The glee I get from seeing the shinypretties of my Cowboy Bebop and GitS boxsets sitting there... *sighs* And yes, if it weren't for the fact that I must repeatedly watch my anime, I would've definitely kept them both unopened and in perfect condition.

I can't say I have a fascination--I don't have the money to support a love like that. ^-^;; But I DO have the boxset of Fruits Basket--so cheap at Best Buy! It was around $60, I think. And I do love it so!! I just wish they'd make a second season, mmm...

Codiekitty · 11-09-2005, 01:30 AM

You know, the Best Buy by where I live has a Fruits Basket box set that I was looking into.

I currently don't own any anime box sets, but I do have sets for Futurama and Garfield and Friends. Well, when I get home, I'll probably pick up that Fruits Basket set. Amazon.com wants about $20 more for it.

Bricks/complete boxsets are pretty cool, although some producers decide to strip away some of the extras in the rereleases. No big deal most of the time, since most of the extras aren't that interesting anyway.

However, there are few things as satisfying as filling up a box by buying the discs seperately. Or few things as expensive. Whatever. I still love my complete Azumanga Daioh, Galaxy Angel, and Cromartie High School boxes.

Katyrna · 11-10-2005, 05:51 PM

^^ I doubt you can go wrong with Furuba! It just made me happy to read that someone else might be getting it, too! ^-^ If anybody out there ever watches it for the first time, I recommend English. Yes, I really did say English.

Oh, I did forget, though it's not really a box set,I have the first half of Ceres: Celestial Legend on DVD. It all came in one case, so it's not quite as fulfilling, but it's still pretty cool, though I wouldn't say the anime's the best. Me gusta la manga. ...Wait, I just said I like the sleeve... Sorry, I couldn't resist! >.<;;

**Kargath** · 12-07-2005, 02:30 AM

Well, I have the Bubblegum Crisis 2040 set, and a set of 3 movies in Matrix packaging (Akira, GITS and Ninja Scroll).
I am dearly hoping to get the Midori Days boxset for Christmas.

You see GITS on SBS, Saria?

DELICIOUS POISON · 12-07-2005, 04:51 PM

I have the full set of lain: Serial Experiments, but there's only 4, and I bought them seperately.

Mostly I buy Anime movies. I'd like to have the full set of Texhnolyze, though.

Inferno Dragon · 12-12-2005, 02:44 PM

I have the box set of EXCEL SAGA!!! probably one of the weirdest anime's you will ever see I suggest going out and getting it RIGHT NOW!!!

Gatekeeper · 12-16-2005, 12:39 AM

Box sets are awesome, but sometimes it gets irritating when there are different kinds of sets and there are vast ranges in price, just for the same thing (referencing to .hack//SIGN box set... I've seen it range from $30-$120).

But I own Evangelion, LAIN (I need to get it back from someone I dont' talk to anymore... may prove a toughie), and Tenchi Muyo!. Gotta love it.

JaredThaJAsWelch · 12-16-2005, 04:09 AM

I got the Noir box set it costed me 90 dollars and I had to pre order it.

I may get MadLax or Reign the Conqueror in the futur but I dout it.

I love Noir thou.

Nabooru98 · 12-26-2005, 02:31 AM

Just got Box Set of seasons 1 and 2 of Sailor Moon. YAY.

Sim Kid · 12-26-2005, 06:47 PM

If I didn't already have the first DVD of Final Fantasy: Unlimited I'd probably pick that up. I mostly just buy Manga and Anime movies.

nihtshade · 03-09-2006, 07:27 AM

the ghost in the shell stand alone complex is realy good if you have the films then you proble like it iv only got vols 1+5 but i still cant wait to get more of them

CommanderWeird · 05-21-2006, 12:39 PM

I prefer getting box sets myself, although it is a rather laborious process as I usually ask my relatives to buy them for me...on the 'net...for Christmas and my birthday...and all this waiting is getting tiresome. -_-

Codiekitty · 05-21-2006, 02:02 PM

On an update to the Fruits Basket anime, it was gone by the time I was able to go back to Albuquerque.

I have, however, obtained complete box sets of Azumanga Daioh (which came complete) and Area 88 (which cost me about $20 for each of the four discs, and the box came with the first one).

**Booyakasha** · 05-21-2006, 08:51 PM

I've got a few. Most series I bought on a chapter-by-chapter basis, but I have boxsets of both 'Record of Lodoss War' serii and the first two seasons of 'Ranma 1/2', along with 'Outlaw Star', 'Evangelion', 'Noir', and 'Trigun'.

[sage] · 05-22-2006, 11:08 PM
