Great. Some other anime box sets were included in the deal but I'll post some pics tomorrow.

I've been wanting to get that for a long time, since both the R1 and R2 DVDs have reached "can not afford" level for me. Plus, the full color LD jackets are amazing! I've noticed that every MI LD box I've seen seems to have a stained or moldy top. Is this typical?

I am very happy that my MI and UY boxsets don't have this problem. Some of the auctions you see for those sets, if you look at the tops of these boxes. They even look moldy, ewwww....

I've plowed through Neon Genesis Evangelion now. The ending were a bit confusing, but still quite brilliant in my opinion. Always nice with something different. Overall I liked the show! Hopefully I'll manage to track down the japanese laserdisc box sets. Now I started watching one called "Tenchi Muyo!" Seems to be quite a bit available, so took some time to find out which of the shows is the first one. Would be a bummer to start in the wrong end. Looking at the dates, seems the 26-episode TV show from 1995 is the first to start with. I like the comedy and characters in this show, suits my taste at least.

There are 13 episodes (1~6, a "Special" episode 7, then a second series of 8~13), plus the so-called "Mihoshi Special". All the spinoffs pale by comparison.

I'm pleased to say that my Maison Ikkoku LD24 has an absolutely mold/tobacco stain free top Best $50 I ever spent on eBay (a lucky fluke, as they usually go for over $100 there) and all I need now is the Urusei Yatsura LD50 to bookend it. I've been watching the LD sourced fansub of Legend of the Galactic Heroes and it really is a gem of a show (the DVD version has reanimated scenes and I'm a purist). The longest OVA series ever, LOGH was a project that only Bubble Economy Japan could green light: epic in scope, scores of characters, and with a symphonic soundtrack. LOGH got a very nice laserdisc release too, with these great looking box sets: I wish Suruga-ya was still dealing with overseas customers, as I'm sure they'd have the LOGH sets for next to nothing.

Thought I'd look into Mobile Suit Gundam. I've seen a lot of references to it, the name is found a lot of places. I got my hands on a nice sealed movie box set containing three films from the early 1980s. This is the set I got: Mobile Suit Gundam: Mastergrade Box [BEAL-934]. My question is if this set is "independent" from the TV-series? Or would I have to watch the TV-series first to follow the story? Just watched Macross the Movie: Do you remember love, which I read is sort of independent. Alternative version of the story, so didn't need to start with the TV-series.

These are basically compilations of the series, as is common for anime "movies" of the time period.
