Gantz?

[r00ster]

I know it can be bought for much less than $17.98 but since those prices vary a lot I decided to go with the list price. Besides, no matter how much you pay for Gantz the truth is ADV is going to make a lot more money selling 13 dvds than 6!

Actually.. the standard price I've seen is $13 a volume, which is only $169 for the whole series... which isn't really that bad for 26 episodes on a per-volume release basis. I don't think the strategy was to make more money... if that was the case, they'd charge the standard 4-5 episode price for a 2-3 episode volume.

Heck, they were selling volume 1 + box for $17 Canadian at HMV, which is known amongst Canadians as having the most ridiculously inflated price in the universe... so I'm sure you could even score the show cheaper than $169 total, when it's all said and done.

...although, LE might have something different to say about that, as he's the expert on everything ADV. Maybe ask him.

From what I've watched, it's worth buckling down and waiting through 13 volumes for... the first volume is -very- unapologetically violent, but -very- stylish... with a soundtrack to kill for.
