It's a good idea to include the option for entrants to select the DVD they'd like. Considering things like Magic Users' Club had a DVD release years ago, it does help avoid a winner potentially getting something they already have. | |||

Actually, I own all except Pita-Ten so that is what I requested. | |||

Put one in for magic user's club. I heard of it but never got around to seeing it. And I'm always down for some 90's anime goodness. | |||

Normally give-aways have a set number of copies of each item available, so this kind of setup isn't possible. Each show has a promotional budget that may be part of the contract with the licensor. So it's no good if Nozomi gives away 10 copies of title X (going over budget and having to absorb the extra cost themselves) and 0 copies to Title Y (staying under budget and not meeting their promotional obligations). Of course, the budgets are much bigger than just 10 titles, so while they try to do things evenly, there is room for a few variations like this... I pitched this to my contact at Nozomi, he liked the idea and spent a couple days trying to get his higher-up to approve it, and fortunately she did. *I'm well aware that give-aways may not even count as part of the promotional budget, but just "unsold stock." Please don't lecture me on how the industry works... |

All of these titles were previously released by ADV, Pioneer/Geneon.. I was gonna say Holy 1990's batman! not that there is a problem with that.. It's nice to see out of print titles come back. |

Couldn't decide between Gasaraki and El-Hazard. Flipped a coin. Sorry Gasaraki better luck next time. Both are titles I've wanted to get new copies of for a while now. Btw, Link's Pottery ftw! | |||

Not quite all. Gasraki was ADV and El Hazard The Wanderers was Pioneer granted. However, Gauken Alice was a prior Nozomi release, The Magic Users Club TV & OAV were Anime Works (Media Blasters) and Pita Ten doesn't seem to have been released in North America before. |

Wow. I didn't even see this Give-Away. And today is the last day!
I'm unfamiliar with anything after El-Hazard. But I choose Gasaraki because it seemed less childish and it looked like it would up my ally. |

So coming back and looking, it seems the contest changed yesterday to include a question at the bottom that had to be answered. If we entered few days ago without answering that re we disqualified? I didn't want to do a double entry plus the dead line is like now so im hoping not to be disqualified. | |||

Minor error on the giveaway entry.
I enter the first time without answering the required question "Nozomi is the anime label associated with which online vendor?" So I try to enter again but it won't let me. Would it be okay if I enter a relative's name with a different email since the first entry is already invalid.
That answered my question Don't recall seeing that question either when I enter the first time. |

UQ Holder! GN 4
manga
UQ Holder finally finds its feet in this volume, demonstrating far more drama, fun, and creativity than ever before.
― I knew this manga was worth believing in. In spite of its lackluster early volumes, I knew Akamatsu had it in him to make a truly satisfying shounen manga, one that demonstrated all the passion and creativity that occasionally glimmered through in Negima. It's taken a while, but UQ H...
The Real Legends of Magi: The Kingdom of Magic
anime
The next season of the Arabian Nights-flavored action-adventure hit Magi is on the way to Netflix; learn the folkloric history behind the show's heroes and get a refresher on seasons past.
― The Arabian Nights' Entertainment. 1001 Nights. Whatever you call it, the collection of Middle and Far Eastern folklore collected around the 13th century in Persia (now Iran) has had impressive reach in all corne...
ALDNOAH.ZERO Blu-Ray 4
anime
ALDNOAH.ZERO tries just a little too hard to wrap everything up in a bow in these last six episodes, and while it works, it lacks any major impact.
― I very rarely say this, but in the case of Aldnoah.Zero, I firmly believe it: the show should have ended after episode twelve. While it would have been a depressing ending, it also would have made a point and kept its characters fairly interesting and r...

C³ BD+DVD
anime
C3 is a surprisingly entertaining take on some well-worn action-fanservice territory.
― Released five years ago now, C³ was one of Silver Link's earliest productions, before they were renowned for… well, making a whole lot of shows exactly like C³. The show falls in the timeless “action-fanservice adaptation themed around torture/bondage gear” subgenre, which has more recently featured the legitimate...
Why We Love Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
anime
Fans have clamored for a Phoenix Wright anime for years - the one we finally got left a little to be desired. Jacob Chapman explains what makes the game series so special... and why the anime might not stack up.
― This spring, after over a decade of waiting and hoping, Phoenix Wright fans finally got the TV anime adaptation they always wanted. Well, sort of. After the first episode of A-1 Pictures's...
Review: The Empire of Corpses
anime
In select theaters now, The Empire of Corpses succeeds as a rip-roaring adventure story, even if its philosophical pretensions aren’t quite up to snuff.
― The easy, almost foolproof way of testing your appetite for The Empire of Corpses would be to ask: are you a fan of The League of Extraordinary Gentleman (the comics, not the film)? Does that kind of turn of the century steampunk aesthetic entice y...
