[Sanosuke]

Pre-ordered the Nausicaa DVD/BD combo pack a month ago, and I can't wait for it.

 

[TheMP3000]

There may be several inaccuracies/delays/cancellations in the release list. If you have GotAnime over at RightStuf, they have a chart of all the March DVD/BD/manga/etc releases. It has become a valuable asset to me in planning what to get that month.

That said, the only things for certain are Nausicaa, Evangelion 2.22 blu-rays and probably may buy Wagnaria Complete Collection DVD. Depends on how NISA does with it. I'm hesitant to drop money on their releases lately.

 

[ReijiAzuma]

Just received Dragon Ball Z Kai pt. 4 on Blu-Ray today via RightStuf

 

[Mesousa]

Guin Saga Collection 1 (Blu-Ray)
Sgt. Frog: Season 2

Guin Saga's Blu-Ray release is in indefinite hiatus. Also, you mean Sgt. Frog's first season.

As for releases this month, I shall get Koihime Musou's second season, El Cazador de la Bruja, and Sgt Frog's first season.

Gunslinger Girl is a possibility, but I wanna wait for a possible Blu-Ray release of both seasons.

 

[Vegard Aune]

- Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - Eye Opening Chapter vol. 1 (Manga)

...That's it, so far. I actually don't have the previous arc yet, but seeing how it was manga-original, supposedly kinda dull and supposedly had the worst artwork out of all the arcs so far, it kind of ended up a lower priority than this one... Which by comparison is one of my favourite arcs, has my favourite artist out of the ones working on the series, and was actually in the original source material.

 

[Nel_Annette]

FLCL Complete Series.

I haven't seen this show in years, and I'm glad they finally just put all the episodes on one disc instead of that 3-volume garbage.

 

[GingaDaiuchuu]

From the pile of mail waiting for me at home after I had been gone for the past 2 weeks:

5 Centimeters Per Second

Gin Tama DVD Collection 4 (S)

Clannad: The Motion Picture DVD (Hyb)

Shonen Jump 100

 

[Sanosuke]

Oh, yeah. Of course, Evangelion 2.22 has been pre-ordered for over a month now.

 

[Classic Speedy]

Picked up Metropolis.

 

[Light Lucario]

I went down to my local Borders that's unfortunately closing down. It was kind of sad to see all of the empty selves and then a ton of sections disorganized since I doubt many of the employees would want to fix the selves. I wasn't able to get the new Yu-Gi-Oh! GX title, but I did get Yu-Gi-Oh! volume five and seven, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist volume nine and Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World volume four and five. Even though I love Yu-Gi-Oh!, I don't have many of the manga titles, except for GX and R, so I thought that this would be a good time to build up my collection. Plus, it should be pretty interesting to see the differences in key events between the anime series and the manga titles. I also ordered off of Amazon.com Yu-Gi-Oh! GX volume six, Pokemon Adventures volume elven and Pokemon Platinum Adventures volume one since I really hoping that my Borders would have them and they didn't.

EDIT: I got the March 2011 issue three of Shonen Jump earlier today. I spotted it on my way to pick up Pokemon Black and White and even though I think that the card is already gone, I just had to get it for the cool cover and the information on the various Yu-Gi-Oh! series. Plus, I'll get a deeper look into the 5D's manga, as well as other titles to see if I'd be willing to buy their volumes.

 

[Mesousa]

Got Koihime Muosu's second season and El Cazador de la Bruja back on saturday.

 

[TnAdct1]

During this week's mall run, I picked up Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind on Blu-Ray.

 

[Daxdiv]

I bought My Neighbor Totoro and Tales from EarthSea from Toys R Us, since they were doing a deal where you can get $10 off a selected Studio Ghibli movie with purchase of Tales from EarthSea.

 

[GingaDaiuchuu]

Summer Wars [Blu-ray]

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

 

[Sanosuke]

Oh, yeah. My Nausicaa BD/DVD combo pack came in on Friday--watched it 3 times since then, twice on DVD and once on BD. The blu-ray looks absolutely amazing, where as the DVD looks like a high-end VHS in comparison. xD. But yeah, beautiful stuff.

But, more recently, just pre-ordered this little slice of amazing awesome beautifulness about 30 minutes ago.

 

[GingaDaiuchuu]

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 DVD Part 1 (Hyb) Limited Edition

 

[Sanosuke]

Pre-ordered the Air Gear Complete Series S.A.V.E. release and ordered Romeo X Juliet: Part 2, Juliet Collection.

Edit: Btw, Darker than Black isn't being re-released until next month.

 

[Beefy]

El Cazador de la Bruja box set
DragonBall movie 4-pack (Curse of the Blood Rubies, Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle, Mystical Adventure, The Path to Power)
Evangelion 2.22: You Can (Not) Advance Blu-ray
FLCL Blu-ray
Kiba box set
Summer Wars Blu-ray

STILL no FMA Brotherhood vol. 3? I am not happy.

 

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

Not bought, but I rented the entire Kurau: Phantom Memory series and was surprised that it was a full frame series. Actually, a bit irked too. I kind of expect every anime from 2002 onwards to be 1.78:1 (or thereabouts) so whenever a newer anime is full frame, there's a tinge of annoyance as I have to either switch to an SD TV or watch it on my widescreen with black borders (always irritating no matter how you slice it). Kurau was actually made in 2004, so logically it's on the borderline of when anime started going fully widescreen, but still, I am somewhat...
