Coincidence.Were you replying to me or was this just a coincidence?

I am really loving “Keep Your Hands Off Eizoken.” The art style and lush near future setting are really refreshing. I don’t buy anime blu-rays often, but I might have to do that with this series.
I didn't buy MHA or Lucky Star. I bought season 1 of Space Dandy, then both seasons came in a bluray/dvd combo set.Because Funi hates their customers, I now have to look up the amount of episodes in season 1 of Demon Slayer to see if I need to wait for a season set, or buy what's available now. With MHA and maybe Lucky Star, they released some eps in a season set or a episode chunks, then they'd release a season or series set, so to see the new stuff, you'd have to buy what you already bought with it.
This is bringing back memories of my frustrations in trying to collect box sets several years back. They would release the first disc with an almost empty box, then you had to keep checking back every month or so for the next disc to be released. Each disc would only be available for a limited time and if you missed it, you had to pay double or triple the price for it on eBay (if you could find it). We ended up with so many box sets missing one random disc. Very annoying!Because Funi hates their customers, I now have to look up the amount of episodes in season 1 of Demon Slayer to see if I need to wait for a season set, or buy what's available now.

I think I did that with .hack // Legend of the Twilight. Do you remember what shows those were? Funi might have them in a save bundle.This is bringing back memories of my frustrations in trying to collect box sets several years back.

My memory is not so good anymore. I'd have to dig around in the basement to find them all.I think I did that with .hack // Legend of the Twilight. Do you remember what shows those were? Funi might have them in a save bundle.
Funi does have bebop now, was by Bandai originally, Their complete set doesn't have the movie. I don't believe the other 2 are in print by anyone anymore. I really like Excel Saga's kind of spin-off Nerima Daikon Brothers, despite the assumed liberties taken with the dub. A bit repetitive.My memory is not so good anymore.

I know I'm missing discs from Ah! My Goddess. I believe Excel Saga too.
I think we finally got the last disc of Cowboy Bebop after much searching.
I haven't read Fruits Basket: Another yet (for the longest time, due to marketing, I thought it was just the OG series rehashed, not a continuation), but from what I've seen, it does go into this a littleI watched the finale of Fruits Basket tonight. It was a really great series overall and I'm so glad my husband got me into it.
While the final episode did wrap up a lot of the side characters' storylines, I thought it had less of an impact than the previous episode and was just there to put a nice, neat bow on everything. I would have been very happy if it had ended an episode earlier with just a few shots here and there during the end credits to show where everyone else ended up.
I also feel very much the same as Rin in that I don't understand how everybody can just forgive Akito and move on so easily. I understand that that's Tohru's personality and she would befriend Akito, but I didn't expect everyone else to fall in line so quickly. I understand where Rin is coming from and wish Akito had more consequences for her previous behavior because it was really disgusting.

I've seen panels where Akito's son mentions how she never gets together with the other Sohmas when they all get together, which I suppose is her form of penance? I think there's probably more, because I've also seen panels of Kyo and Tohru discussing the curse/Kyo's family situation with their son in a way that makes it obvious Kyo is still working on his childhood trauma, and their son has a very sweet reaction to it.
As for Akito I've always been very torn on her lmao, but I agree with you, I understand where Rin is coming from. Suffice to say I think the older set was always easier on her because they knew she was being forced to pretend to be a boy and they knew how awful Ren was, and the younger Sohmas are still partly bound by the curse in their own way, even if it is broken, and that's why so few of them are as angry as we'd expect. I think Another came about partly to rectify this, but again, I can't say for sure since I haven't read it.
Sorry this was longer than intended and I kind of talked in circles, I have a lot of thoughts about Akito but am never quite able to articulate them the way I'd like lol
