What is MSP?

[Roy Mustang]

What is MSP?

Should have been MSRP and not MSP or manufacturer's suggested retail price.

Ok,that makes more sense now.The one I am currently waiting for is of course
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.From what I heard there are hopes that it will be the 'Haruhi' and not the 'Kyon' version that is released in the U.S.as the 'Haruhi'
is more according to how the episodes aired on the internet and in Japan while the
'Kyon' version has them in order.

They are going to release it in both non broadcast order and broadcast order.

[RedMage]

And you just know people will buy both.

[Roy Mustang]

And you just know people will buy both.

Both broadcast order and non-broadcast order is going to be put on the Special edition dvd's.

The broadcast order will come sub only with english subtitles and will put as an extra starting with Volume 2 special edition dvd.

So, if you buy the Special edition. You will get both the non boradcast order which is how the Japan dvd's were done and get the broadcast order on which they aired on TV in Japan.

Found Bleach vol.2 was out.Also found Ah!My Goddess vol.2 but only had enough money to buy one plus the Inuyasha DVD.
When will vol.56 of Inuyasha come out?

[KeybladeWarrior]

Alright! The season 2 boxed set of IGPX is coming out!

[Fish and Chips]

Wait, so, is Melancholy's entire 14-episode run available in one volume then?

[Roy Mustang]

Wait, so, is Melancholy's entire 14-episode run available in one volume then?

Nope, there will be four dvd volumes.


Col. Roy Mustang

[Fish and Chips]

Four DVDs of three episodes, though they could easily have had three of four instead. Right.

comes off as rather odd, though, because broadcast and episode order are all over the place, so volume 1 in episode order would have episodes 1-3, but volume 1 in broadcast order would have 1-2 and 11. The confusion would continue into later volumes as well.

Haruhi or the non broadcast order will be set up like this.

Volume one
episode 11
episode 1
episode 2
episode 3

Volume two
episode 4
episode 5
episode 6
episode 7

Volume three
episode 8
episode 9
episode 10

Volume four
episode 12
episode 13
episode 14

[Fish and Chips]

Bah, I tripped up the math. Yeah, 4 volumes makes more sense.

[mitsuki lover]

So it will go 4,4,3,3 the number of episodes in each DVD.Any news on any extras they might put in?

[Roy Mustang]

Extras for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Volume One will be

Textless Opening / Ending
TV Broadcast Previews
TV Commercial
Making of Haruhi Suzumiya Clip
The Adventures of the ASOS Brigade

I got a personal shopping day at Borders to take care of so I will see what I can find there.I'm thinking though of those listed Bleach and Naruto are the best bets.

[WrestlingOtaku]

I found that .hack//roots volume 1 will be out on April 3rd and Black Cat volume 4 will be out May 1st, for those who are interested. (especially me)

[mitsuki lover]

Haruhi volume 1 is listed in the Rightstuf print catalog.

[mitsuki lover]

Oh season 1 of Slayers boxset is going to be releashed in July.

[AsianBlossom]

The complete series for Diamond Daydreams (according to Amazon.com) is going to be released on June 5, 2007.

[ilikegir33]

According to Geneon's site, Karin Volume 1: Infusion is coming out May 29, 2007.

Also out May 29: Complete Divergence Eve: Misaki Chronicles from ADV

And on May 8, ADV is releasing Ah My Goddess Season 2 Vol. 1

Also the special edition of The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya will have more than an art box: It has a special DVD cover, the Hare Hare Yukai OST, a cosplay hair ribbon, a Haruhi-ism iron on, and a double sided pencil board.

[ilikegir33]

And Pani Poni Dash Volume 3 is coming out on the 17th! YAY~!

[mitsuki lover]

Right now the only two I am focused on are Haruhi and Slayers.Though I think I will wait for the Haruhi rush to die down a bit before I try to even order or buy it.
I figure that there will be enough interest that they won't be running out of DVDs any time soon.

On June 19, 009-1 V1 is coming.

On July 3, there's a boxset of Gravion/Gravion Zwei.

Utawarerumono Volume 4 is headed for us on July 24. It said in the press release that it was TV-14-V. I know it gets more violent in the second half, but it's not THAT violent!
