Excel Saga... - Owozifa - 03-06-2004
So I guess the FX version is out of print...what bothers me is why it would go out of print. From what I see it sold well, and as soon as it was out of stock, quite a few requests popped up for it. Was there some circumstances conspiring?

I liked the first episode it was hilarious....I didnt really think the rest was all that great at all

Let's just say a certain company didn't like their product being distributed without their consent. Two things could have happened:
1. Sellers would get cease and desist letters and stopped ordering them to stop selling said product. Low amount of overall sales means that it wasn't worth printing any longer.
2. FX just doesn't want to be hassled anymore.
Actually, I'm guessing it's a mix of the two.

That's all right, I got it just this week. Guess I just got lucky, because I really like those cultural notes, which MAC apparently doesn't have. Anyway, I'm just kinda put out because I was gearing up for a review...but i guess there's not much point anymore.

Yeah, I was lucky and picked it up three weeks ago. The only title I need to pick up from the list of newly out of print titles is the Weiss Kreuz OVA.

Hmm....where would someone find such a list?

I have now answered my own question.
Excel Saga
Gundam 08MS Team
Macross Movie Perfect Edition
Studio Ghibli
Weiss Kreuz OVA
Those are the ones apparently. Through the power of telepathy and a quick trip to the Arctic Nightfall boards I have come up with this.

Edit: Gah, sorry to step on you matthewmalay, bad timing.

I got both of them too. I'm not sure about Excel Saga, so that may go on my trade list soon. And I'm contemplating buying the R1's for the Ghibli movies, so that might be on my trade list soon as well.
