Great news, since I’m not sure many fans are willing to shell out $600+ for OreImo.
Maybe it’s just me…
But wouldn’t it have been better to put out Blu ray editions of these instead of resoliciting as DVD’s????
I guess I thought that many anime fans preferred getting things in BD format — at least the people who ARE still committed to buying series and movies on home video instead of streaming or stealing as usual?
I skipped those movies because A) I didn’t know the series; and B) the price was outrageous for an unknown to me.
As far as the TV series limited box set went, the subject matter was a bit too creepy for my tastes and the thing sold out before I’d ever get interested anyway…
