Bebop,Index and High School DxD for me. I found the first season of High School DxD to be surprisingly fun and enjoyable so I hope the second season doesn't drop off.

I was on the fence as whether to import to UK version of Bebop for some time but now I'm glad I waited. Will be getting the premium version.

Interesting, DxD got bumped up a few months, and that runtime means they have the directors cut

Cowboy Bebop is a maybe for me. Already have the DVDs from Bandai. Depending on what the Limited Edition sets look like, maybe I'll double dip

Nothing else that really has my eye though

I may pick up B Gata H Kei, the premise sounds stupid as all hell, but I've only ever heard good things about the series despite this. And hey, $20, has both DVD and Bluray, that's a plus.

Bebop, that will depend on the extras, as I already have the old Bandai release. I like Bebop, but I do love Outlaw Star more, so that's an obvious, but Bebop has a good shot too. Of course, if Right Stuf gets a better exclusive...

B Gata H Kei was not in my radar initially, but I watched it, I liked it, and I bought it. If you like romantic comedies (with a bit of racy stuff), but this anime.

I can dig this. I'm glad I wisely decided to skip out on the initial release.

Though, I'm on the fence about Bebop. I already have the Anime Legends Remix box, and I'm quite happy with it. And there's so much other stuff coming out around this timeframe. Yet, it's Bebop.

Happy to see DxD season 2 getting released earlier than expected. May pick up Bebop and sell my Anime Legends DVD set.

Also, to add to the above sentiments, I, too, highly recommend B Gata H Kei. It's much less raunchy than the premise would make you believe and is actually more of a school life rom-com than a tawdry fanservice fest. Still has most of the cliches one would expect to find in a school-based comedy, but the plot manages to mix things up just enough to separate itself from the pack. It's also pretty hilarious and can be genuinely sweet at times.

I reallly hope that's only placeholder art. His name is Zoro.

That said, I had to sell all my voyage/season collections a couple years ago when money was tight, so this is definitely something that I will pick up.

I am not surprised DAnime hyper season 2 sells better in america
but I am surprised they are trying to get it out before Christmas in time for the holidays.

I do not pre-order anime anymore so let's see what kind of sales we get this black friday. I can't wait for the deep discount roulette!

Cowboy Bebop FUNimation Exclusive Details
Posted by Michelle on 08/22/2014 at 2:00pm

We are thrilled to see the incredible response from fans for the Amazon Exclusive Edition of Cowboy Bebop! But, we know that a few of you are waiting to see what our FUNimation Exclusive Edition contains before making a decision, so without further ado:
  • Release date: 12/16/14
  • Includes:
    • Complete TV series on Blu-ray and DVD (combo pack)
    • Exclusive Limited Edition tri-fold packaging in the style of a vintage record cover
    • Display easel for packaging
    • Four exclusive art cards
    • One additional exclusive art card with foil-stamp autograph from series director Shinichiro Watanabe


We know some Premium Edition buyers primarily want pack-in content and items, and some prioritize having a display piece for their shelves. While both of our Cowboy Bebop Premium Editions feature display-worthy packaging and bonus items, their differences are intended to reflect these different priorities. We’re looking forward to revealing the designs soon!

We hope that with the Blu-ray and DVD Standard Editions (details coming soon) and the two Premium Editions, every fan is able to have a Cowboy Bebop experience that they love! Click here to order the FUNimation Exclusive Edition now.

I guess Amazon for me it is. That said, it is interesting that they were specific about what the consumers might be looking for...

I'm going to wait and see what the editions for Cowboy Bebop look like first. Amazon seems to have books, but it also says clam shell artbox and I'm concerned about what they mean by that. Meanwhile, Funimation's says that its like a vintage record cover and it comes with an easel. If its the size of a vinyl record then I'm not really interested. Amazon's price also jumped it was $69.98 and now its $89.98.
