I'm as big a Gundam fan as the average bear. But I don't think I've spent $75 on any series, let alone saved $75. But I'm notoriously cheap.
Let me ask some questions about GS in particular, "Ultra" collections broadly, and anime fans in general.
Episodes 1-48 of the HDTV remastering, and 1-50 of the SD series. ?!? My worst suspicion: final two episodes available in the Mega Ultra Edition. My least-worst suspicion: two recap episodes considered unnecessary. Somewhere in between: tighteningsloppy storytelling; say a dropped subplot has its scenes excised from the five episodes that were building it up, and those five were reshuffled into three (nonstandard length) episodes. There is a tradition in Gundam of Tomino ordering an island
As a thought, is there any "filler arc" or hotsprings episode decried on broadcast that wouldn't elicit howls of outrage on being left out of a physical media release?radical changes and selling alternate versions.
Another thought, after two decades since "The End of Evangelion" and "The Star Wars Special Editions" showed the director's vision of how it really is to some fan pushback for how it really was, I'm surprised there isn't more of a tradition of making
Two hours of bonus video features. Call it a disk worth, tho probably spread through the set. I probably wouldn't pay feature price for such a disk. Such "value added material" has tipped my decision to buy a feature, but I'm not sure of any casesfor anime disks... the Kessler Syndrome bits on "Planetes"!
Art book. Ok, $30-$40, if I want it. Not sure about it describing the art as "HD" and "SD"; unless some pages are done on an old dot matrix printer, that suggests the HD Remaster is an HD recreation.

#1 I am not a Gundam fan.
#2 You are cheap. I bought the whole DVD set of Maison Ikkoku,
and both versions of MI in print both Graphic Novel and the manga.
All of Kimagure Orange Road plus the Movies, all 3, and the OVA. All of Genshiken manga and anime, the original Yawara box set then downloaded
all the remaining episodes and the HD versions being slowly issued by
the Fan Subbers plus a bunch of other stuff. If I could get the manga
I would. I did read first the manga script of KOR and then the manga
online as well as the fan fiction about college.
I thought Gundam fans were equally committed.
Art book. Ok, $30-$40, if I want it.
I don't buy Art books or build plastic models. I basically read
manga and watch some anime. Princess Jellyfish disappointed me severely especially after the excellent manga and the further works of the author
But I am buying the Blank Canvas manga though I read it all online.
Presently I am reading a manga featuring two Gunplay fans who
are building plastic models one is JK and the other an Office Lady.
Hg Ni Koisuru Futari Ongoing Author: Kudo Makoto and that is online. Featuring the ideal price for someone who does not want to spend that
much.
Many of the old stories in anime could do with some revisions.
KOR could be brought closer to the manga with great improvement to the series. Another OVA could finish Dragon Half.
But you are not much of a fan if you won't spend more than $75
for a series. But you will likely be able to pick up what you want at a discount eventually.
On the other hand I got a advertisement from TSRI the other day
which I did not forward to the newsgroup. It asked $39,999.99 for a
life size plastic model. And even if i wanted such a thing I would not spend so much on it. A cardboard figure would do as well or better.
Seems like it might be intended for store decor or for the
fan with a room full of stuff who wants a permanent hostess who will
only require dusting.

I am cheap. I was going to give examples of my cheapness, but it's actually a bit embarrassing. Maybe I need another modifier for my fanhood. (And, Wow! If we could convert you to a Gundam fan you might become dangerous! The closest I come to

Yeah, model building is a specific taste. At the risk of sounding even less of a Gundam fan, one representative of a type of Mobile Suit is enough for me, I don't need variants. (In fact, I'm more of a big ship fan despite them telling us since

I guess it takes a massive success (such that lower sales on a revision would still be a success) and a creator obsessed enough to put in more work on what was "good enough" to be a massive success.

Then there's the big space taker on my anime shelves: a 14-DVD series divided into 7 boxsets of two program disks and an Extras disk, all in their own individual clamshell (remember when anime, Star Trek, and Doctor Who were sold by theBut you are not much of a fan if you won't spend more than $75

"Discount," my favorite word, even when paired with "eventually." I was afraid I may have spent more than $75 for a series, I scanned my shelf... After Christmas I did drop $120 on a domestic TV series -- 7 seasons averaging about 24 eps per (

For that kind of money (a car or light truck) I would want a life size Gundam! Alas, probably a static model, but maybe with a lighting kit!
