R1 or HK?

Thos long series are a pain. Dragonball - I'm buying on HK's. I don't like how Funi does alot of the stuff with 3 episodes per disc for super long series.

Ranma - I got that one on HK too. I'm not a big fan of Viz either. Plus, that is a super long series that sucked during the middle. I am tempted to buy the R1's for the 1st 2 seasons though.

Kenshin - I got the 1st 12 discs off Ebay for $120 total. I stopped collecting after disc 15, because the last arc sucks. But even if I had to pay $20 a disc for that one, I would have because that is an awesome series IMO. Plus, every disc had at least 4-5 epiosdes on it.

Slayers - I have the HK's for it, but just got an awesome trade offer for some of the R1's. So I'll be replacing those. But I don't think I would have bought them R1 myself.

Those long series are expensive as hell unless you collect them as they're being released. that way it doesn't seem so bad because the cost is spread out ove time.

You Europe guys . . . I don't know what to say. You guys get the short end of the stick I guess. But you guys aren't really in Region 1 anyways. Don't they have R2 or R3 releases or whatever it is whereever you are that can be had for cheap?
