Snatching Up Saiyuki

For all my anime-friendly flisters who are not on [livejournal.com profile] saiyuki, I bring you this PSA from [livejournal.com profile] researchotaku:

Geneon announced recently that it's going out of business and that all of its titles will stop production.

This is a column discussing Geneon's going out of a business, including the advice as to what fans should do: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2007-09-28

What Geneon's closing down means for Saiyuki fans is if you haven't bought the Saiyuki Reload and Saiyuki Reload Gunlock DVDs yet (and you want to buy them), you better do it soon because once they're gone, they're gone.

Feel free to spread the word to other Saiyuki fans or fans of Geneon-licensed shows.


I've just put in an order at rightstuf.com to finish off my Saiyuki Reload collection, and um, my Saiyuki collection because the Double Barrel discs were only $8.99! And I may have bought Vol. 1 of Peacemaker because $6.99, yay! So, um, I don't think I'll be buying that Ministry of Magic CD this month. . . . Heh heh.

Anyway, if anyone were to be wondering about something to buy me for that holiday that happens in December, I only have 1 disc of Saiyuki Reload Gunlock (Vol. 3, if you're wondering), and I'd love to get the rest before they all go bye-bye. (If you are thinking of picking up a disc for me, please let me know.)

I'm sorry to hear your anime supply is going dry. I hate when that sort of thing happens. I'm not into Saiyuki but I'm sure it's good. I've only got two shows on my plate for the moment, but they're enough to keep me busy.

Anyway.. was just gonna comment on that but your incredibly awesome top banner blew me away so I have to put my piece in on it too. Simply put, KICK ASS! I just wanna jump up and down and lick it all over! *flails and spins circles*

To be honest, the anime isn't that great, but it's pretty damn funny and I love the Saiyuki boys so much that I can deal with a crappier anime just for them! READTHEMANGAOMG!

Hee! I love my banner. I love my layout. [livejournal.com profile] lizardspots, [livejournal.com profile] morningstar4, and [livejournal.com profile] jissa are so freaking awesome.

OMG. For a second I thought this wouldn't effect me, but holy crap, they have several animes I still haven't bought yet. I think that'll have to be my next buying project. I mean, I can't miss out on owning Haibane Renmei!

I guess I'll be youtubing it for the rest of the night - after making some "Waiting" icons. ;) Thanks for the info!

Hee hee. Yeah, "buying project." ;) I decided that since Right Stuf gives free shipping for over $49 that I'd just buy up to that amount. And that just happened to get me finished through Reload! :D

I think this only applies to Reload and Gunlock, not the original series since that was licensed by ADV. I don't think there's any way I can buy all the Reload and Gunlock eps that quickly, so I think I'll just try to download the ones I don't have.

It does only apply to Reload and Gunlock, but I only needed one more Double Barell of Saiyuki and $8.99!!! ;)

I've been slowing buying everything, so I was only missing 3 Reload discs and y'know, I had to get to $50 to get free shipping. ;) So the only thing I'm missing now is Gunlock, and quite honestly I can live without Gunlock if necessary (they destroyed the Hazel storyline anyway).

I'm crossing my fingers that this means ADV can get the license back for Burial. I would be so happy to have that beautiful OVA voiced again by Braden Hunt. &hearts

Yes, $8.99 is a great price. I usually pay around that for the regular Saiyuki DVDs.

I would like to have Reload, but I do have all the eps burned to CDs that my friend gave me, so I can live without it if necessary. And yes, Gunlock is sort of a waist of time. I mean, I do enjoy watching it, but yeah...I was so disappointed that they don't have the Hakkai vs. Goku youkai battle. Of course, that would be because Gunlock was completed way before that came out in the manga. ::sigh::

And yes! I'm crossing my fingers on that too! Hee hee...Braden is great as Hakkai. And I do love Illich as Gojyo too. ;)

Braden is great as Hakkai.

I'm in my aural happy place. Right. Now. *dreamy sigh*

Hee hee...

I think it's great how on the Requiem DVD they were saying that Braden got so into playing Hakkai that he'd act out the chi blasts. ;)

I'd like to say this is what I call "VA karma". This is what Geneon gets for replacing the ORIGIANL kick-ass VA's when they got Reload and Gunlock. *shakes fist at them*

I have been cursing their name for FOREVER because of that. Apparently my sacrifices to the dark, nasty, minions worked.

ahem.
