I wish they would release Garden of sinners on Blu-ray
Hopefully, they’ll be smart and sell it at a reasonable price.
That’s going to cost a boatload. Thank goodness I’m not a consumer of Blu-ray…
Who’s got the money to give on that? It might as well cost a fortune..
That’s odd. I could’ve sworn that the TV series disks languished for months in the Bargain Bin of one of AN’s competitors before finally going out of stock. Was there net demand I don’t know about, or is it generally regarded as a good series to rescue?
I remember R.O.D TV as one of the most awfully boring TV anime in modern story.
As much as I like Besame Mucho, I have to admit that their R.O.D. television series was a big disappointment. The OVA series is outstanding. The TV series has good animation and a couple of dynamic scenes peppered throughout its length. The TV series never really took off in America because it’s really not that awfully good, and because it was never re-released in a cheap edition. Even the “bargain bin” singles were still priced at the high end of “bargain bin.”
