Your right about the highway robbery thing! They got me once with Ranma. Everyone knows the story.

Hey, I'm not that cheap. Most of what I own is R1's. This might sound dumb, but sometimes I but the HK's because I like the packaging better. Like with Ranma, I honestly would have bought the R1's if they looked nicer and didn't take up so much damn space. I love the R1 Fushigi Yugi boxsets, so I'm trying to get those instead of the HK's. But if a company tries robbing you, then I buy the HK's as well. Like Viz is charging $25 for 3 episodes of InuYasha. That's like $8 per episode. The max I will pay is $5 per episode. Anything more than that is highway robbery.

yeah, you always seem to mention you owning the R1 as well, personally if I had the cash I would go all R1 (except if it wasnt realesed yet) I like when it takes up space, inproves the look of my collection :mrgreen:

Now and Then, Here and There, I was kidding about getting the R1s. The set is perfect. Just a few misisng lines but nothing to worry about.

The worst thing about Inu Yasha is that its close to a 100 episodes long, I dont even want to think about how much it would cost to buy the whole thing plus they'e reaaly slow. Too bad the Hks of it suck

Hahaha. you're like that 1 guy in Otaku No Video who has all these tapes and they ask him how many times he's gone back to watch this stuff. And he's like never, it just makes my collection look nice. Too funny. Hahahahaha.

As long as the HK's audio and video are good I will get that! :mrgreen:

I have the first set of Inu Yasha and it isn't too bad. The video is the worst part, since it is afterall a tv rip. :mrgreen:

[OptimisticOx]

inuyasha.... one of the animes that CN has aquired..... when will it end?

[kakoi_sugoi_yama]

Inu Yasha Is one hell of a story. One of Takahashi's best. :mrgreen:

[Vicious]

Has that lady ever wrote anything that wasn't great?

[OptimisticOx]

true..... I just realised that I dont even remember what this thread is about, I will check right now.... ah yes R1 vs. HK ... :mrgreen:

[kakoi_sugoi_yama]

Umm...... You know what she hasn't ever written anything bad. She is the top selling female author on the planet right now. :mrgreen:

[OptimisticOx]

hmmmm... it seams you are a well of knowlege when it comes to japanese culter/whatnot, kakoi :mrgreen:

I hate the fact that Viz has the rights to most of her stuff. They will never finish releasing Maison Ikkoku. With Ranma, they changed voice characters for male Ranma halfway through the series. And with InuYasha, at 3 episodes per disc, that's gonna be over 30 discs for the entire thing.
