Evil Sales Is Evil
So CD Japan is putting up a sale, realizing no one is going to spend the huge bucks on … remastered DVDs. O RLY? Referral-supported links incoming.
And oh, by the way, these are limited quantity items on sale, so get them while they’re still there. Some items are much more limited than others.
Cowboy Bebop remastered collector’s box (notably, it contains session #0!)
Macross Plus complete remastered box (Has the 4 episodes AND the movie version, and other crap)
(Just a brief note on the CDJ affiliate program–well first I appreciate those of you who actually patronized my links, and it’s working out so far even with my sparse pimpage. Not fully tested yet because I’ve not “cashed in” anything.)
I noticed there is a whole series of these hi-def remastered DVD sets out there. Like the Yamato TV set or the three Gundam movies. I can see why these two titles would be below my radar but it doesn’t explain the first two up there that are singing their siren’s song.
Is this (Maho Tsukai Tai box) remastered? Does anyone know?
The irony is a little thick considering just not too long ago I was talking about $250 a pop anime series with some people on the internet. And here we are.
Still, something like this is just … too much to bear, even for me. Especially when it tempted me repeatedly. It’s like Princess Tutu–if I find some place selling the original releases, I would buy it in a heartbeat (assuming it was priced no more than it was originally), just for the soundtrack omake.
Last note on this pure-pimp filler of a post: Touka Gettan is available in its entirety on this latest CDJ sale. The discount is meager but it’s better than nothing.
That remastered Bebop is *ridiculously* expensive, considering that it’s only an unnoticeable step better than Cowboy Bebop Remix: Anime Legends, and about six times as expensive. I don’t see the draw.
Damn. I have to remember to suggest you make links to all the things I’m thinking of buying at CDJapan, so I can go through them to make my purchases. This is twice, now.
I’m up for that…
Uncreative: The bebop Remix version is not the same remastered version as this one? I’m not sure what the differences is, not having seen the R2 remastered set.
It’s funny, but you manage to do these posts a couple of days after I do a CDJ order…. Possibly because their promotional mailing that prompts your post snares me, too.
Interesting. This post came out right when that promotional email hit my mailbox. And from the looks of it (then) it was a fresh promotion.
As far as I know, Remix isn’t visually remastered to HD and then mixed back down to NTSC, although I may have just missed that on the box or something. It should be the same otherwise.
