Hi,
Has anyone watch this anime already? Just bought the 3-DVD disc from parsa malam @ $19.90 ;)
Plot Summary: Witches are individuals with special powers like ESP, telekinesis, mind control, etc. (not the typical hogwart and newt potions). Robin, a craft user, arrives from Italy to Japan to work for an organization named STN Japan Division (STN-J) as a replacement for one of STN-J's witch hunters who was recently killed. Unlike other divisions of STN, STN-J tries to capture the witches alive in order to learn why and how they became witches in the first place.

- Gun Grave (3-DVD @ $19.90),
- Card Captor Sakura (8-DVD @ $49.90),

Actually it all depends. I think it's b'cos some of the titles are not well accepted here, thus causing the sellers to drop the prices from $29.90 to $19.90.
Like Full Metal Panic, still selling @ $29.90 as the sellers know there are still buyers in the local market.

Yo Stunner24!
I think you're right. Some shops even started with the buy one and get another at 50% off sale.
Waiting for One Piece & Naruto vcd prices to drop

hahaha
actually the dvds are hongkong/china/taiwan bootleg ones. but slap the censorship sticker on and it becomes original. these are the notoriously bad eng sub ver.
tampinese central also got sell but the prices are like 1 disc=$10. so WHR cost $29.90 instead.
there's tsukihime, initial d 4th stage 1~7, Cowboy bebop, gungrave, slamdunk etc.
but cowboy bebop is a good buy since it's a direct rip of the r1 ver. so all the extras are in and th e sub is good also. :dance:
