Now that you've mentioned it, it does jive with my observations, like the thing you mention about the anime that stayed on VHS due to most consumers renting instead of owning, most of the listings I've seen for those anime were on rental tapes or in rental cases and the like. Rarely did I see them in a "sale" VHS case.
With what you said about long-running/big shows often not getting LD boxsets due to their length makes it quite a miracle that Yawara! got the three LD-boxset release it did from Victor.
Thank you for answering, especially since you went on a detailed explanation of it all. I especially didn't know too much about the Gundam LD release history so hearing how the original show just barely made the cutoff point surprised me.
As for Tonde Burin, I was just more surprised that the distributor thought there was potential profit to be made with that route. In retrospect, Nippon Columbia's 90s anime output didn't seem to have any noticeable hits, besides possibly the few Tatsunoko anime remakes and... (maybe) Hyper Police and Master of Mosquiton OVA's that they released. They took a long break from handling anime releases themselves for a long while seemingly after 1999 so I guess the lack of profitability took its toll on them? |

I don't know how it happened, but by a stroke of luck, I happened to be surfing Suruga-ya through their LD listings and found a copy of this still listed for sale. I don't know how it wasn't snapped up by the time I discovered it (maybe the listing saying there was "box damage" dissuaded some from getting it). So I got it and it just arrived at my residence today.
I have taken some photos, though I can't give it a more thorough look as I'll be preoccupied with some stuff today. However, I'll take more pics later on.
So, here's the box:

The inner-box: https://images2.imgbox.com/52/ba/cAKABn63_o.jpg
The jackets each feature a prominent character from the cast on the front. Unfortunately none of them had Neya, which was an interesting choice.

And here's the ring label for the first disc: https://images2.imgbox.com/4c/a0/nVzZ8kif_o.jpg
The first disc has mint markings from Pioneer Japan.
I've tested the playback of the first disc, and so far the picture quality is pretty good. Granted, it's a 2001 LD release so that's probably a given.
There is a booklet inside the inner box as well, and that's probably what the "Ryvious Magazine" is. I took a few photos of the exterior and one of the pages. I'll take more pics of the pages inside if anyone wants me to.

The fandisk content is on side 2 of disc 7 according to the chapter list.
Anyway, I think that's about it for now. Let me know if you have any comments or questions. |
