Thankfully (or not?) I spent a ton on the Sentai sales the previous year. It was kinda nice looking things over and saying "have it" to most things I would have wanted.

just finished "Shining Hearts" aannddd... it SUCKED. (i know, BIG SURPRISE, eh?)
there i go again, letting character art sell me on something. at least it was cheap, thanks to the SENTAI BLACK FRI. sale.

oh well, surely NADIA and PATLABOR T.V. won't be letting me down, Right? RIGHT?!?

Patlabor is quite good.

I bought the DVD of Casshan last year and only watched 1 episode Been too busy to sit and enjoy a series.

Have Macross 7 on LD but again only watched 1 epi.

Need to get more time or less series on LD/DVD

The only two target markets for Shining Hearts were:
A. Fans of Sega's "Shining" Strategy RPG game series.
B. Fans of Tony Taka's character designs.... don't look up Tony Taka unless you're at home, in private, because he's well renowned for his hentai... art (extremely NSFW).

Nadia and Patlabor are both classics, would take someone having extremely picky tastes to be disappointed with either of them.

I really enjoyed watching Shining Hearts.
Even bought two anime figures from the show after watching.
Guess I like Tony Taka's character designs.

as do i. outside of the superficially charming end credits sequence, however, i couldn't seem to find the series proper
to be anything beyond trite, dull and incredibly predictable, with a roundly underwhelming final climax. Been There, Done That.

indeed, i've seen it all a zillion times before, in far better series, but, well, that's just me...


all the same, Merry Christmas;

"Bread of happiness"

Quick on the heels of the end of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale's ending, Sentai's "Holiday Sale" is now happening. Prices on some items are a couple bucks higher than during the previous sale, but overall seems like a continuation of the previous sale.: https://www.sentaifilmworks.com/collections/holiday-sale-2019




And I think I just saw the mailman put my Black Friday Sale order in the mailbox, yipee!

i mean, i'm quite fond of Bread myself, but don't you think this is beginning to get a little Ridiculous?!?

Super late reply, sorry. Yep I noticed the Patlabor Ultimate box set was dirt cheap on Amazon USA a few months back. Didn't wait and bought it straight away as it's normally super expensive.

No brainer really. Patlabor 1 and 2 are two of the finest anime films ever made, especially Patlabor 2.

The Sentai Sale feels like it's never ending.

Neither is this coronavirus.............

I skimmed this and didn't see anything. BD prices seem mostly higher than previously. A few things I want but will wait for steeper discounts. DVDs are cheap af however.

@rein-o: My prediction is we ultimately never see a vaccine. Eventually we have to get back to work anyway.

I think you are right on with that gypsy.

Heard on NPR one thing about China is that they are always wearing some type of mask and they feel
there were less cases due to this possibility?

So we may all be wearing masks all the time from now on.

Sentai is blowing out DVDs (no BDS in this sale).

Darn it! It is virtually unending. I just received my big Labor Day Weekend Sale order from them today! Hopefully I'll have some money to spend with them next go around, this is just to close to the hundred dollar order two weeks ago for me to afford doing again at moment.

And guys, going to point out (Yes, I'm schilling my own website and personal projects again.) the SentaiFilmworks DVD Checklist, and the Maiden Japan DVD and Blu-Ray Checklists are available on my website as printable PDF files for anyone else who's either collecting or just interested in seeing what neo-ADV has published so far. No Blu-Ray checklist on the Sentai Filmworks side as they're very actively releasing new titles still on that format, but I am keeping up with those for a future checklist project. Just not keen on making a BD Cheklist for them right now as it would require a time commitment for having to update it monthly.

The new Votoms set is $30 on Sentai's site. I believe some people here were wanting it?

Yes! And while that's a awesome price... all those DVD set releases at blowout pricing of $2.99 each are far more tempting for me at moment, I can't pass up on anime priced below the used market prices.

I mostly had that stuff but I did grab a few of the super cheap DVD sets to make sure I was over free shipping. I started with my cart over $200 but got it down to $53.
