Really, as long as it comes even remotely close to sanity (£100 for the series? Yeah, sure I'll play), I'll be happy.ilmaestro said:

Nice to see them doing a full set of the Golgo 13 series. I wouldn't mind owning it, but I wasn't keen on having it split into 4 separates.
It's a solid enough adaptation (all the episodes are lifted straight from the manga) and perhaps slightly lighter in tone than the films, but I did miss Dezaki's knack for action sequences. At least from what I've seen of the show, the action wasn't as well handled as it could have been, probably betraying what must have been a tight budget. Inevitably, it also misses out any of Golgo's encounters with real people, so sadly no taking out neo-nazis for Nelson Mandela 
I think it's at its best when Golgo's doing something weird to outsmart his opponents, and there is plenty of that though.
If you liked the films, I'd say it's worth picking up, but if you can, it might be worth trying to view some of it online before committing to it.

Manga doesn't sub-licence from Madman, since Madman only get rights for Australia and New Zealand (and South Africa on at least one occasion). Manga (and the other UK companies) often co-operate with Madman (and the other AU companies) on mastering to reduce the costs for both companies, since both are in PAL regions.
Manga does sub-license from FUNimation, since FUNi commonly grabs the UK/IE (and AU/NZ and South Africa) rights along with the US. They have also sub-licensed at least one title from Sentai (Angel Beats).

Wonder if this will affect the UK release date at all.
Oh well, this actually works out better for me since I will already be importing GiTS Arise, KnK and the Madoka movies next month...

Thanks.
I liked the movies (I prefer "Queen Bee"), if the series is on the same levels then I'll add it to my want list. It's that kind of show that's not great per se, but it's perfect when you want to turn off your brain and watch some fun stuff.
I almost bought the 2 collections on DVD a couple of times, but didn't place the final order. I'm glad I didn't, since now there is the full collection on BD. I suppose it's just better to stop buying DVD on all counts, I'm sick of the number of shows I want to double dip.

Who sold said set at three times the cost to import it, correct?
