I was very excited when I heard about the RightStuf’s ADV sale a few weeks ago. I missed their previous sale because I was lazy. By all accounts the Geneon sale was “better,” simply because there were more shows available that many of you and I would have preferred to buy. For example Texhnolyze, Last Exile, and various OAVs/Movies. They did close the ADV sale down early; so, maybe it did better than I thought.

Everything was wrapped.

The ADV sale was lacking in the A-grade anime areas. Hence, there you have the title of this post. I realize that “A-grade” is a bit of a subjective viewpoint, but I don’t think many will disagree when I finally get to the listing of what I bought. I’m pleased with my purchase, but there are some other aspects to this that we can talk about later.

Here is the setup: 10 DVD’s for $50 or 25 for $100.

I also, would like to say that I was very impressed with RightStuf. There was a problem with my order and they managed to get it fixed for me, it had to do with billing. It delayed my order shipping for a while, I just got this stuff the other day.

The booty:

Yumeria DVD 3 : The End of a Dream
Yumeria DVD 2 : Tossing and Turning
Yumeria DVD 1 : Into the Dreamscape

I’ve watched disc 1 of Yumeria. It’s funnier than I thought it would be, but it is the usual harem type magical girl show. It’s literally the one male character and everyone else is a female with the exception of the teacher with a Lolita Complex.

Sukeban Deka DVD

I’ve watched Sukeban Deka before. It isn’t the best show ever. However, it is entertaining. I need to learn to fight with a yo-yo.

Slayers Return: Movie 2 DVD
Slayers Gorgeous: Movie 4 DVD

I love all the Slayers incarnations. The story is about Lina Inverse’s search for love, money, adventure, and a way to make her boobies bigger. It’s a classic.

Shuten Doji DVD 2 : Nightmare
Shuten Doji DVD 1 : Birth of Demons

I’ve heard that Shuten Doji is really bad.

RahXephon Theatrical Movie DVD

I bought this one to finish off my RahXephon collection.

New Fist of the North Star DVD 3
New Fist of the North Star DVD 2
New Fist of the North Star DVD 1

Someone told me that the old Fist of the North Star was good. So, I thought I’d give these three a try. Plus I got the crappy box.

My Dear Marie DVD

I bought this based on the ANN plot summary.

Dragon Knight: The Wheel of Time

I think this was just a random pick.

Diamond Daydreams DVD 3
Diamond Daydreams DVD 2
Diamond Daydreams DVD 1

The animation looks good. It can’t be all that bad. . .can it?

Curse of the Undead Yoma DVD

Another random pick.

Chance Pop Session: Session 3
Chance Pop Session: Session 2
Chance Pop Session: Session 1

I’ve watched some of this show before. It wasn’t too bad. I thought I might as well finish it.

Birth DVD

1984, yeah you heard me. . . 1984.

Aquarian Age DVD 3
Aquarian Age DVD 2
Aquarian Age DVD 1

Aquarian Age is a good show. I’ve watched it once before. I’m actually looking forward to watching it again. Plus, I got what ADV considers a collector’s box.

There you have it. Probably the best part of this sale was that most of the shows could be bought in their entirety because they were either 3-4 or 13 episode OAVs.
