Sadly, I've only just come to realize this now.

Ah well, it'll be something to watch. I'm going to be getting the official box set in a couple of weeks.

*Squee*

Not necessarily. Central Park Media's first two Utena discs are region-free (well, technically all-region, but it boils down the the same thing).

But most of the time, yeah.

second clue should have been the price, with the number of disks as the next hint

Another reason it's bootlegged is because Saikano was never re-released as a slimpack set. It was actually released by Viz Media in a 2-disc collection inside two normal-sized DVD boxes.

Here is what the official complete boxset looks like:

Yeah I found that out a little after. I honestly, stupid as I am, never really thought about the difference in price. I wonder if there's a way to get these directly from Japan for a much reduced price? I mean I love having anime and being able to watch it, but usually I've alREADY watched them, and am buying them for footage purposes. *ponders*

But yeah. Me = stupid right now.

Probably not. Japanese retail varies between what you might see for legit R1s to substantially more. And that's not counting S&H and any possible customs charges.

CDJapan is where I usually look.
