Well I was able to get the complete series of Revolutionary Girl Utena on 6 DVDs from eBay for about $AU100 (including postage) so I was pretty happy except for Disc 5, for some reason, it starts at Nanami's Egg instead of Vermin (Troublesome Insects) like its supposed to, damn annoying that.

Well, ebay is one thing. but to take it out of a video rental store? how else will it get exposed to the ignorant masses? how else will it totally screw with someone elses mind? how... i ask you... how?

Internet and word of mouth. This series isn't exactly renter material as it is. The casual anime fan is going to start watching this and then lose interest; people who will enjoy it are people who will hear the name and then make a specific effort to find it.

Still, I always check my local anime shops for copies of the anime and manga.

Its a shame though, still. Here in Alaska, especially where I live, there are so few place to find ANY anime. All of our specialty anime shops keep going out of business because no one wants to pay heavily inflated prices.

I think the worst thing is, is that no one will buy it.

Lol, at first I thought this was a post about how Jerry Falwell had finally died. Never thought I'd see the man get the hell out of here.

Anyone know where his grave is? I have a pressing need to perform a rumba!

AMEN, Sister!  And where was Hinotori when this happened?  Hmm hmm hmm?  Notable Death Fairy indeed!

Don't complain, buy it!


I've bought every individual American release full price
(And the Chinese one, but that wasn't that bad)
Seriously. Do it.


I... My wallet jsut can't comprehend it.

In Spain we have acces to the manga only ;_;

Don't worry, the same for us in Estonia.

I'm beginning to wonder how old I'll be when it'll be possible to buy stuff like that in our country.

At least you have the manga ¬.¬ my best hope is to threaten somebody in the only manga editorial we have and see if they could stop naruto for a while and start Utena...
And the anime probably the only way I can get is Tepitovideo (Tepito is the most famous pirate things center of shopping)

Te los llevo, voy a México este verano xD es posible que visite Guadalajara, Cancun (y alrededores) y si eso el DF.

Cruzando el charco, eh?

I couldn't get the manga; it's quite rare here. But the anime episodes (and the movie, btw) can be downloaded easily
Anyway, it's a pity not being able to go shop in Alaska

Okay, the only thing I got out of Epi's above post was Guadalajara, which I am proud to say I have heard of.


Because it's on that godawful poncho America Ferrerra has in Ugle Betty.

I'm a sham when it comes to being cultured.

Cancun, Guadalajara and D.F.(Mexico city) are all cities. Epi is saying she probably can come to Mexico on summer
I have never saw the american version of ugly betty, seems it was a hit over there. I sincerely prefer the original that is from Colombia. The mexican remake... ughh... it was so horrible made me want to clean my eyes with bleach ... it portrays Letty so naive and dumb as the original Betty wasn't she just came for a very tradicionalist and represed family.

Pues lo vamos a llamar charquito de ahora en adelante *joking*
Seriously, that's something you only do if you love/miss your homeland a lot.

By the way Asfalolh, i'm going to the other side of the charco (lol) because actually i'm from the other side of the damn charco, i'm mexican x3

I haven't searched them properly, I know. I have no time, Barcelona is huge and I have never been in any Salón del Manga because it is overcrowded for me

Yes, the salón del manga is horrid, i went once and nevermore xD but you can find them, really. And if you don't have time for searching, search on internet in what stores it's available in your city (huge city). I think it's norma editorial who owns it.

I think I messed something up. I didn't intended to sound rude at all
So sorry for the offtopic-ness

Oh you didn't, don't worry!
