UK Anime Blu-ray & DVD Bargains

Good to know it includes twice the Owarimonogatari :p But yeah I bought one, I've already downloaded everything except the audiobooks which I already purchased from Audible a good while ago (though I will likely download those too just to have DRM-free copies). I really would recommend the audiobooks of Monogatari, I'd go so far as to say that the VAs they picked would make a perfect English dub cast for the anime if they ever do decide to do an English dub for it :) I'd also note that this bundle is good because the typical Humble bundle problem of random-ordered files in the download list is alleviated somewhat by the mostly fairly small file sizes. Sure if you prefer manga to LNs that might not mean much but I think it's worth taking into consideration if you're on the fence :) also they offer both MP3 and FLAC for the audiobooks (I'm gonna go with MP3 but I'm sure dedicated audiophiles will appreciate having a choice) :)

I posted this up in the Anime Blu-ray & DVD OOP thread as well.
But just noticed it has now got a coupon that is avalible till the 5th Dec for a used copy of Hyouka Part 1 & 2 Colletor's edition via Ebay.

So £60 normally but with coupon its £54.
I know some poeple were thinking about it but no idea if they caved and went for the Funimation release.

I forget, is Clannad one of the shoddy re-releases or is it okay?

Clannad uses the older Sentai Masters so it's not as good quality as the newer US complete collection releases (I own the standard non-steelbook one of those :) ) maybe someone else can provide more detail? What I mainly remember hearing is that the subs are quite big and they are yellow (which not everybody is so keen on though I'm not as fussed and kinda prefer it cuz I have some slight vision problems and it can be easier to read) and that the video transfer for the UK release is not as good as the newer US transfers.

I was at Forbidden Planet London Megastore and found a opened copy of Ah My Goddess season 1 DVD collection on the shelf for 99p!
One of the discs is loose but clipped it back on.
I've got a few bargains there over the last several years. I assumed they were running down the stock.
Nothing as good as that.

Beyond the Boundary £11.65 at Amazon

That's a pretty good deal. Now I just wish I could get the sequel movie in blu-ray at a reasonable price but if not hey ho, the series ending was mostly pretty satisfying.

I think a large number of users here (me included) would reccommend Escaflowne. It's a really good series and mixes elements of fantasy/sword and sorcery, mecha and shoujo. Personally I love it. It's considered a classic by many and with good reason. The TV series is great and the movie is good too, though the movie tells its own "alternate" version of the story and isn't a continuation of the TV story. Hope that helps.

Seconded, though I think it's worth getting on Blu-ray instead of DVD if possible. But that is a very reasonable price for a new copy :)
