https://www.amazon.ca/Dragon-Ball-Level-1-2-Blu-Ray/dp/B005E2YL40/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=dragon+ball+level+blu+ray&qid=1621647503&sr=8-2

In case anyone isn't aware, the Levels sets are regarded as the best visual quality release of DBZ. Funimation royally screwed up the release and then proceeded to can the whole set, stopping at 1.2.

Afaik, these are No Longer Available/No Longer in Production so these must have been found in a dusty corner of a warehouse.

1.1 and 1.2 go for between $100-$200 regularily. Happy hunting!

Framing is also quite expensive and takes up a lot more space in storage later if you're trying to swap. I don't know how many you have, but something like this may be worth giving a try. I used a similar one a few years ago and liked it https://www.amazon.com/YMM-Magnetic-Posters-Pictures-Scrolls/dp/B088F85CL8/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=wall+scroll+hanger&qid=1610555823&sr=8-3

I got them off amazon. They're called DVD case plastic wraps or something. you can get 500 for around $20~$15, here's the amazon link for the exact ones in the photo:

That one is made in Taiwan also there's another one made in Malaysia so definitely bootlegs.

For those unaware, Henkei Shoujo is a series of shorts produced by DLE of Girls turning into vehicles. It's weird, it's low budget, and it's only 6 minutes long total. For some reason, the people over at Ascendant Animation decided that this was going to be their next dubbing project. If paying more than $2 a minute for the BD is too rich for your blood, but you still want to support their efforts to dub what literally no one else will, the entire thing is up for purchase digitally on Amazon for $2.

It's available right now at $94.74 on Amazon with free international shipping: Link

This went on sale during Prime Day via Amazon UK (and might go on sale again during BF/Christmas) for $78.71

It's the pal region blu ray of nisemonogatari. Probably UK.

Amazon nisemonogatari

Thanks tbh haven't kept up with it but Amazon has an entry for Season 4 on Prime video (no longer available of course which threw me off) but Sentai could've lost the rights before releasing it physically---but who knows as the only physical copies my search results yielded were bootlegs.

So as a Sword Art Online fan, are you going to be buying the extremely limited 10th Anniversary Box Set from Aniplex Japan?

No English subtitles however

66,000 yen ($480+shipping)

#3 is still on sale

#2 is available at Crunchyroll

Part 1 is No Longer Available on Right Stuf but there're a few copies on Amazon---you can also try Ebay to find it as well.

Nice collection, use this if you want to catalogue your collection... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dah.librarydvd it uses your camera to scan barcodes of your collection and then looks it up on the net (including covers). You can also custom edit everything there too and how you group them and then export them in a spreadsheet. Using it I found out that I now have 1298 DVD/Blu Ray's.

[Does this happen to be the set you're talking about?](https://www.amazon.com/Animation-Sora-Yume-Japan-PCXG-50109/dp/B00DZCF08M/ref=sr\_1\_1?crid=TI6BO0GITILG&keywords=B00DZCF08M&qid=1653941338&sprefix=b00dzcf08m%2Caps%2C123&sr=8-1)

For our store, our computer scanned "Resurrection: The Rich Porter Story". Hmm, no idea why it pulls different things.

I linked the store that has it in stock, it's $187.50.

A cheaper version that is top loading instead of slot loading is $130

Have you considered buying an archival sleeve made for vinyl box sets? This can certainly fit in one. Better quality than factory shrink-wrap anyways. Still frustrating though!

I use this drive in my pc + MakeMKV to rip all my discs. After flashing the firmware, it can do any region + 4K.

Amazon UK had all of Durarara!!x2 for sale. Little pricey but I picked them up and was worth it.

Here is one of the copies: Durarara!!X2 Ketsu - Standard [DVD] https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06W9LVBGN/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_a_3DYP3DCV1QNC07EXC2KG

Yes there was!

It was released by Cresent Media, but I couldn't tell you the year of release. Most reviews on Amazon would indicate 2013 but idk. Judging from its entry in Blu-Ray.com, which stated it was canceled, the publishing company must have been relatively small. They don't have any records of their releases on a site or social media page, so maybe out of business as well. So, if you see anything resembling the picture like the one on Amazon then its probably legit. You might be able to find some of the Japanese releases but those won't have English subs.

Not exactly. Last month or so I had to go through 3 copies before Amazon sent me one with the slipcover.

Currently you can buy a copy for $39.99

>Shipped and sold by Amazon.

That is a good catch. When I saw Your Name, I felt that I really wanted to get it on video, so I bought the Japanese version on Amazon. And, it just naturally came to me to buy Weathering with You.

Heres a link:

/u/kisuriurisan say it best. The free boxes people recycles. If you want the extra protection you can buy rolls of bubble wrap and put in the extra layer.

This is what I use for when I move, and for packing stuff for selling. I still have 2 full roll left, and the spread is pretty big. It’s about 2-3 inches off from fully covering a NIS set when you roll it from the side.

Here are the ones I have. Works for Bluray and DVD. They are like $8. 100 OPP Plastic Bag for Standard 14mm DVD Case (Standard DVD Case Plastic Wrap) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004BLYJ6A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_J9HG4CSPPMG67C3N3H0P?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Ah man that sucks, if you can, Region B stuff is usually cheaper, probably because the releases are more standard and don't have all the art cards and posters and stuff aniplex usually puts in

I actually like that stuff, but it means our stuff is usually a lot cheaper haha

Idk if you'd wanna invest in a rebion B or multi region player, but it might be handy in the long run. Can probably find the region B releases on Amazon tbh

Here's Bake and Nise I found if that's any help

Also I think righstuff have an ebay account too, that might have different shipping prices maybe?

The majority if not all of the nasuverse shows that have been adapted to anime have come to dvd/blu ray at some point, price is the only thing to take into account with them as fate can be pretty pricey. As far as I am aware, non of monogatari final season has blu ray releases but first and second season do so those shouldnt be an issue. Yet again, price is a big role as monogatari can go for super high prices.

I don't have an asian site to buy english blu rays, I honeslty wouldn't imagine it's a big enough market to warrant a site for it. The easiest thing I could suggest would just be to look on amazon where you are. Amazon typically sells blu rays from all over the world, you should just need to put the english name in. For example, you can buy the UK release of Highschool DxD on amazon JP

I can't remember if I got it off Amazon or ebay but it was only about $40 USD.

I still have it! That's actually one of 3 DVDs I have left (Eva Perfect Collection, Eva Death & Rebirth + End of Evangelion Box set, and Kanon Complete box set - the larger ADV one, not Funi), the rest are all Blu Ray at this point. Eva was the show that really good me hooked on anime, so I think I'll keep that one forever. I'm also pumped about the new blu ray release and can only hope it looks as great as the JP no-sub version.

And yep, here's a link to the Black Lagoon LE. https://www.amazon.com/Black-Lagoon-Premium-Maryke-Hendrikse/dp/B014VB03FK Some of the older Funimation titles like this have amazing packaging and extras. Darker than Black is another really cool OOP Funi set.

The first two years worth were released on DVD in 2004.

https://www.amazon.com/Pikachus-Winter-Vacation/dp/B00067RENI

The third year worth of specials was integrated into Pokemon Chronicles, and has never seen a home video release in the USA.

I bought these guys a year ago. They are holding up well.

It is the Funimation set, not the japanese version, but sold out already. Sometimes Amazon Japan will sell Funimation sets.

The Limited Edition set is still availabe at Amazon Canada

Weathering With You (German release) in the 4K Steelbook Limited Edition. I pre-ordered it on Amazon.de and it shipped today (on release day). My first Anime on Blue-ray of hopefully many to come.

The thing I find intereseting tho is that it says FSK 12 on the box but on the discs it says FSK 6.

It's an Atlantic Elite Media Storage Cabinet that I got from Amazon, but they sell it other places like Walmart and Target too. However, I'm not really sure I would recommend it. While I really like how it very space efficient, the assembly was a pain for me and ended up not being very sturdy. I also am not a big fan of the smaller shelf in the middle, but that's a minor complaint. That is just my experience though. It seems like there are a lot of good reviews for it, so maybe your experience would be better than mine.
