Dear ADV Films,

If you want me to take advantage of your allegedly really great sale of anime cels (not that I'm currently in the market) kindly try selling cels from series I would actually care to purchase. The only series in that list I've ever even heard of is Bubble Gum Crisis, and I've only seen a couple episodes of that. The rest haven't even come up as the most passing of references in my Internet browsing.

No love,

Me

::sigh:: It would be so nice to buy davner a cel of Cherry from SMJ utilizing her Rice Tub of Doooom(patent pending). Or buy myself a cel of a particularly cute Fruits Basket moment.... Again, not that I'm really in the market.... but a sufficiently nice cel would tempt my inner fangirl into purchasing anyway. Perhaps my examples aren't ADV series... my point is, ADV needs to pick better ones from its' catalogue. :p

Edit: I just checked their DVD catalogue. If the otaku gods were kind, ADV would sell me a cel of Filia Ul Copt thwapping Xellos with Mace-chan, damn it. Perhaps a good Hyatt in mid death-swoon one. Or, I could wrestle half a million fanboys for posession of a Macross cel for Dav. But they are fiendish, capricious kami, instead, who chortle at my woe.

I must keep in mind, this is the same company that only has the Kimagura Orange Road movie on DVD, not the series, which is what I want to see... Curse taloon or whomever it was that gave me the link to the fanslated manga and got me hooked... ^_^;

Sadly, no cels for Fruits Basket exist anywhere: it was made with computer animation exclusively.

As far as KOR goes, you're unlikely to ever find it more affordable than here.

::weeps bitterly for a moment::

Ohh, shiny KOR link... ::poings off::

Sadly, I have seen every anime on that list (sans Dragon Pink, given that hentai isn't really my racket). And, sadly, every single one of them sucks. Although the Monty Python fan in me is somewhat inclined to give a nod to Dragon Knight and its wacky, non-sensical stupidity.

Also, I should mention, all of those series (this time sans maybe Wild Arms) are vintage ADV series -- they're all pre-millenium titles. I remember this because back when I used to rent every VHS anime tape that was spawned on this planet I'd end up seeing the "Also From ADV Films" previews more times than I'd like to count.
