I want Bakemonogatari, and Rice Digital have it really cheap, but I can't afford to spend any money at the moment.

Damn you for drawing my attention to that site IncendiaryLemon

If you're looking at buying any of the Monogatari series, suggest looking under other sellers on Amazon and finding MVM's own shop. It's often way cheaper than what Amazon have listed on the front page.

Same price as Rice Digital currently (without the current 10% discount promo though).

Thanks for the tip.

I will be getting Bakemonogatari for Christmas. It cost £32 using the Rice Digital code.

Manga's complete Psycho Pass Blu-Ray set is currently £35 on Amazon - lowest it's ever been on there.

This week's deal of the week from AOL is a classic series, Kiddy Grade.

One I've got on R1 in my pile to watch

Shiroi Hane · 16 October 2015

I considered getting it last time it was DotW because, IIRC, the hub of one of my discs is cracked. But... do I really need yet another copy?

Buzz201 · 16 October 2015

How many acronyms in that blurb?!

Smeelia · 17 October 2015

I think I wanted to like Kiddy Grade more than I actually liked it. It's one of those shows with some decent ideas and a lot of potential but it couldn't seem to figure out what it wanted to do and what it went with in the end didn't feel like the best choice. Still, I suppose part of the reason that it was frustrating is that there were good elements in there to begin with so it's not all bad. Probably worth it for £10 anyway (and I suspect some people would like it more than I did).

I'm sure most of you guys already have it, but Zavvi has Outlaw Star for £9.99. Pretty great price for a classic.

Is there a way of hiding entire topics? It seems like every time I look in this topic, there's something cheap that I want, but can't afford. (I'm a student who just had to spend £200+ on textbooks.) Damn you all and damn myself for continuously looking in this thread.

FMP now down to £90 over at Zavvi

Isn't Anime Limited releasing this on blu-ray?

Buzz201 · 18 October 2015

I believe AL have said they won't be doing a blu-ray, at least not for a few years. FUNi have one planned in the US, but there's no date or anything.

serpantino · 18 October 2015

That's a shame. Mind you I can't remember if I liked what I saw of it years ago, so maybe grabbing the dvd set is a good idea for now. ^_^'

AL said " If Japan's doing it we'll release it

"
The Japanese release came out a year ago. I don't think there's beeen any news out of FUNimation on it or their other Sunrise rescues since they were announced two years ago. I expect that
a) there will be holdbacks before an overseas BD release of goodness knows how long.
b) AL will want to wait for FUNi to release it so they can use their masters.

More recent statements seem to have been more pessimistic. I believe Andrew's more recent statements have been of the 'there's nothing in the pipeline, we're not planning anything, but we won't rule it out either' variety, so I wouldn't bank on an AL blu-ray, even if FUNi do one. And FUNi recently confirmed that they're still waiting on assets for many of their Bandai rescues, and I shan't imagine Outlaw Star is top priority (especially since FUNi has everyone's beloved Code Geass :roll

so it'll probably be a very long time before FUNi put theirs out.

It's a sticky contract point for me, I'm swinging round on it if we can do it though so watch this space

Cool.

Nice that it sold well enough to justify a blu-ray release.
