On Obscure DVDs

The increasing scarcity of certain domestic anime DVDs has surfaced as a topic of conversation in the American otaku community lately, so here’s my contribution to the discussion. Just because I’ve been collecting domestic anime discs for so long, I’ve got a fairly extensive collection. But there are still some noteable gaps in my collection. Anybody want to assist me?


Included among the numerous discs I’m still looking for affordable (or preferrably inexpensive) copies of are King Gainer volume 6, Zegapain volume 4, all of Sailor Moon S, Panda! Go Panda (particularly a non-Signature Series edition), a set of Ronin Warriors, Night on the Galactic Railroad, the Patlabor Original Series & New Files collections, Shonen Onmyouji volume 5, Dunbine volumes 11 & 12, Maison Ikkoku sets 2 & 4-8, Lupin the 3rd TV series vol. 11, and most of the Gatchaman collections.

And a Kimagure Orange Road TV series volume 6 replacement cover to finish off a second TV series set.

Granted, most of these discs I don’t strictly “need,” but would rather like to own as momentos of the R1 anime DVD era. If anybody feels like doing some trading, drop a message to me. I’ve got some obscure duplicates like AnimeEigo’s Spirit of Wonder, a Night Warriors volume 2, Cat Soup limited edition, Ariel, Gatchaman OVA, Prefectural Earth Defense Force, and a couple extra sets of Fate/stay night. Plus a whole lot of extra copies of more common discs.
