I was thinking of doing another order but didn't want to get to $75. If you see this in time just let me know what you want I can tack it on and get it sent your way for my cost + shipping to you when you have the funds.

That one has to be LD, preferably the first print. Yeah, the LD I had was the Japanese second release, I always loved those corner obi's that the first issue has.

When I went to go watch Big O I had two let downs. One was the first disc wouldn’t play but once I removed a big smudge from the disc (both greasy and gritty but also clear, no idea what it was) it played fine. The second disappointing thing was that the OG OP theme is gone. The one that sounded exactly like Queen’s theme to Flash has been replaced with another song that apparently was made for when they restarted the series in 2007. I don’t think it’s on the disc as an extra either.
It’s fine. I only paid $18 for the whole 26 episode series on Blu-ray but I would have not had these issues if it were a 20 year old used LD from Japan. It would have the right theme (since the other didn’t exist yet) and it would be perfectly clean. Now I’m reminded why I don’t like US releases very much unless they are really super madly crazily cheap like this sale was. There is ALWAYS something sucky about them. Yeah, sharing a BD region with Japan doesn't do us any favors. Also, Shopping Arcade is fun. I still have the old tin release from back when I bought nonsense. Now I lean towards w/e is the most compact for my shelf unless it has some awful problem.

The replacement seems to almost acknowledge this with the name “Big O - The Show Must Go On!” but it doesn’t sound one bit like Queen. they did, on CARTOON NETWORK's TOONAMI block back in the early-2000's. i was staying up at my grandma's in PORTLAND, OR. back then, for an ongoing series of medical appts. and she had a full CATV package at the time. CN was running several Anime i never would have had occasion to have seen otherwise, including BIG-O. and indeed, that QUEEN/FLASH GORDON-inspired OP theme was included...

I've never seen anybody refer to them as "Galaxy Hero Legend".

The new Bluray set is about 800 bucks and the fake Bluray on ebay are 200 I get that it is a lot of content and the license was likely a proper dicking, but man, I hate that they limited the set. Even at $800 total price, if they had released it fragmented and not limited, I would have easily bought it over time. I toy with the idea of buying it but so far I've backed out every time.

I paid $40 each for VHS eps of Bubblegum Crisis so I remember way worse that that. What I’m trying to understand is why there’s no cheap-ass American discount because this isn’t 1990 or the early 2000s. Amercisns don’t pay full price and nobody would ever dare to charge it. That’s usually the deal! Also it’s cheap animation from forever ago. Hopefully the package isn’t as cheap as most US stuff. That massive greasy high gloss cardboard box they can never fold as properly as any JP box I’ve ever had. The ultra saturated full disc art. FBI warnings acted out by the dub voice cast. Dumb freebies that don’t fit in the case.
