because I have nothing else to watch

[phosfate]

After enduring heykidzcomix' incessant nagging*, I found the Brisco County DVD set last night. Watched the pilot with commentary. I am a better human being now.

Mom had a giant girlcrush on Dixie Cousins, and it's hard to blame her. She also always felt it necessary to point out that Brisco's dad was buried on a hill "for the drainage," then cackle like a fiend. Strange woman.

So far, the best thing is learning that the Rocket Car was a functioning vehicle that could shoot 30-foot jets of flame. Carlton Cuse volunteered to ride it back to the roundhouse after shooting, which must surely have been the best thing ever.

They came off Amazon (used and new), local shops, and deepdiscountdvd.com -- except for the Sailorstars box, which came from http://www.animecollector.com/ and is highly illegal. I'd feel bad about this if there was a Region 1 release, but I doubt we'll get one until the first-generation SM fans grow up and demand it, as the 80s cartoon fans have done for their She-Ra and Transformers.

The other seasons have uncut U.S. releases, but it's my understanding that they're out of print. So you're limited to store stock and the secondary market. :(

Balls. Still I figured it would be something like that. I know with that manga is out of print and Tokyopop wants to do a reprint, but all the distribution rights for the SM manga are tied up at the moment because Takeuchi is having a tiff with TOEI. Since my copies got thrown out years ago (to my regret) I've tried locating scans online, to some success.

Heck, I guess you could call me a first generation SM fan, seeing as how it was my introduction to anime and all. I want DVDs! I demand it!

*crickets*

Still animecollector.com looks good, I guess I'll add the dvds to my Christmas and Birthday wish lists. :3

If they do a reprint, I hope they do a complete remastering. Those early volumes are horrid.
