I send some really silly questions to the director :3

I re-read the entire other thread and didn't see it mentioned, but it just occurred to me how awesome a replica of Juri's locket would be.

Juri's locket, that would be loads of awesomeness. Can't wait for all three sets to be released.

I love this, i can not think of a serious question, it is more fun to ask silly ones. Here are mine.

If you could pick your rose color what would it be?

Also do chicks really dig duelist?

PLease, let me ask you people a bit...stupid question. I'm from Spain, so I dunno if this release really will be accepted by my dvd player.
BTW, I am so fan that I'll probably buy it even if I cannot watch it in my dvd player... But, it's worthy buying it? I'm not in my best money-related phase.

Opinions please,

I don't really know, since the DVD doesn't have a region listed on the product page. I would recommend e-mailing someone from Right Stuf; they would know more about that sort of thing. I think they ship to countries that aren't America and Canada, so they might have DVDs that work in all regions. You might try e-mailing the person who's contact information is listed on the top of this press release:

Officially pre-ordered! Can't wait for June!

YAY!
Now I shall have my box set to force upon my friends, and one to NEVER EVER WATCH BECAUSE IT IS TOO PRECIOUS 8'D
win/win neh?

Why was I not informed!? Well I guess I am now. It tells me I got my preorder in but I won't believe it until it's in my hands.

I do wonder what the special gift will be; I'd pre-order all the boxed sets anyway, but...all of the suggestions were pretty awesome, so I'd be happy no matter what

How does that preorder thing work anyway? Just preorder all three > ? > profit?

If I could ask Ikuhara a question? ...What will I do with my CPM DVDs? I guess.

IIRC the CPM releases were region free - but I don't think Nozomi does that. Multiregion DVD players are fairly common in the UK - I imagine you could find one in Spain without too much difficulty too. Some DVD players can be unlocked with a special code to play discs from multiple regions but I don't really know how that works.

I've seen it listed elsewhere as being Region 1 - although they might have just put that there automatically since it's an American DVD.

Edit: Really, TRSI? Really?

To protect our customers and ourselves against credit card fraud, we verify the billing address on all credit card orders with the financial institution that issued the credit card.  Because you are located outside of US/Canada, we cannot utilize the normal process to verify you as the owner of the MasterCard or Visa that was used for your order.  Instead, we have instituted a manual process in order to provide security for both our company and you as our customer. 
…
We need to receive the following items from you:



*  A copy or scan of something that shows your billing address and the name on your credit card.  For example, this might be a credit card statement, a utility bill, an ID, or other identification card.  (Please note, on all international orders, we will only ship to the cardholder at the same address used by the credit card company to mail the monthly statement.)



And



*  A copy of the front and back of your credit card.

Wow. Wow. As much as I like many of the shows that Nozomi has licensed their shop is a dick to you if you're not American. I've never seen a single website that did that ever.

provide security for both our company and you

Yeah, sure.

I hate to say it but I'm seriously considering buying it from some other retailer.

Edit: In fact I can't do what they want. I can't send them a scan of a credit card statement because I get all that on-line, I'm a student who currently lives at home with his parents so I don't pay utility bills (well not directly) I'm blind in one eye so I can't drive and therefore can't have a driver's license and my other id doesn't have my address on it. Goddamnit.

^ poor thing. If it's too difficult you'll have to go to someone else...Still, it'd suck if you went to another shop, bought all the releases and didn't get the bonus item.

I'm about 95% sure that I won't get the special item buying it from another place. Which sucks. I wanted the special item... but not enough to do what is literally impossible for me to do.

Well, when you try to check out of your shopping cart, they offer that mail-order option, where you just print out a form and send them a check. Might that work, instead?

If you are paying by mail, we also accept money orders and domestic checks. Please make all checks and money orders payable to: Right Stuf, Inc.. Checks require at least 12 days to clear while money orders are treated as cash. No international checks, please.

Emphasis is theirs.

They really should remove the I from TRSI, I feel.

Edit:

For first time international customers, for security purposes we require a copy of a form of ID (can be drivers license, passport, utility bill, etc.)

Is that even legal? I'll have to look into that.

Yes, unfortunately. Once it was a common practice almost everywhere. I'm still trying to get a debit card statement in paper form, since I've cut the amount of paper documents I normally receive to barest minimum.

I've never mentioned IRG on SA. In fact I almost never post on SA, I just read it tons. Reinhard, where did it show up? I'm guessing in ADTRW.

Honestly guys no need to fear from SA. We're actually a really cool crowd, since none of us walks around actually convinced we're one of the characters.

....seriously, I wear the red shirt and purple tie at cons for a lark.

Besides, you all have SA to thank for most of the smilies and a great deal of the general design and layout of this forum.

You mean, Something Awful? *groan* I've seen this forum described as "weird" before and I know SA likes to make fun of little corners of the web, so I can't help but think that this site was bandied about for derision. Not that I'm offended by the practice of it, I've laughed at some of the Weekend Web stuff myself(really, with some of them, how could you not?).

I understand why you *groaned* but in all actuality we goons are a pretty cool bunch. We generally describe every thread and forum to be full of sperg lords, perverts, and furries. Even many of our own forums are described in quite the negative context.

ex: For the longest time the anime sub forum on SA was pretty much and still kinda is referred to as being full of pedos. Heck ADTRW itself translates to Anime Death Tentacle Rape Whorehouse.

Honestly I wouldn't worry about this forum ever going on a weekend web unless you sent hatemail or something to some goon with too much time on his hands. Not enough sperg and generally disgusting bullshit. Haven't really seen anything bad yet myself that I haven't seen on SA. We mostly go after forums full of idiots anyway. From what I've read so far the general topic here is fairly low on white noise and engrish.

Also don't take offense at my brain bleach comment. Like I said: I've read far worse. I was just making a joke really.

Yea I read about the site on ADTRW wiki. Not gonna post the link just because of anti goon sentiments in the thread/forum. Don't want anyone doing something they may regret. For the most part though they praised the forum as the largest Utena fansite with a great series of analysis articles.

I don't really post often myself. Mostly I just stick to the varying goon chats for the games and forum activities. I'm pretty much the king of lurking and only post when I feel I can actually contribute something.

Oh and HELLO FELLOW GOON!

Koshernova wrote:

I am not a goon!

I'm so disappointed. I figured that because you had a LoGH avatar like myself that you must be a goon. I know it's weird but generally LoGH isn't that popular and on SA the general opinion on the anime forum is that More People Should Watch Legend Of The Galactic Heroes. Funnily enough that is also the name of the SA thread.

Also: don't be hating. We are generally dudes. Like I said above to Frau:

For the most part you pretty much have to make a thread where you discuss how someone's sweat would taste in real life before Goons will begin making fun of you. (I'M LOOKING AT YOU BIOWARE SOCIAL FORUMS!)

Now, now, be nice   I'm not an SA member myself, but Gio and Yasha have both been enthusiastic members, and they may well have bandied IRG about for promotion!  Besides, there's no such thing as bad publicity.  Welcome, Reinhard!

Thanks for the warm welcome!
