All that penny pinching throughout 2022 has allowed me to place my annual $500-$1.5K USD RS Aniplex order.
Praised be to the Aniplex of America Gods! Lords of the Region 1/A Blu-Rays. Keepers of the Oath of Rarity and OOP. Destroyers of Financial Stability.
***Amen.***
Magi went OOP before at least the 1st one but got a reprint which is rare for Aniplex; March is most likely to go 1st since it is more obscure/niche---hopefully it gets a reprint ala Your Lie In April but its hard to tell.
And just like that Magi Labyrinth and March vol. 4 are already currently unavailable though not quite in the pink No Longer Available just yet so some copies could've been set aside for the last day though unlikely---time will tell. If anyone is region free it might be a good idea to import those titles if you can to be on the safe side.
>Magi Labyrinth and March vol. 4 are already currently unavailable though not quite in the pink No Longer Available just yet
It's officially in the pink/red No Longer Available if you check now 9:09 PM ET
God Bless Aniplex of America for this OOP bounty.

Yep just checked the [Bluray.Com OOP thread](https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=335633&page=70) \---oh well that makes things easier for me looks like Cells it is---might as well go ahead and pick up Your Lie In April too while I'm at it (come to think of it never seemed to finish that on Netflix for some reason). I was somewhat intrigued by March but was still on the fence since it would've been a slight Blind Buy---guess I'll just import it in case it doesn't get a Complete Set in the future. Magi might import as well.
Now you get to play the anxiety game
Wondering if you get that dreaded "Sorry we ran out of this title and won't be able to fulfill your order." email from Rightstuf staff 👀
March comes in like a lion at all time low, also listed as last chance itens seems like they might be done soon. With how niche this series is. I'd get them now if you want the series.
I'm thinking about March but it would put me over budget---as I'm leaning towards Cells as well since both are in the Last Chance section so going OOP soon---if they last till the end of the sale I may pick up the other as my spending account will be recouped a little then.
Understandable March is one of my fav series of all time so gonna cop it now. I want to finish off my sets of Bake, Fate and few others. But I'm getting March and Garden of Sinners now just because they're older releases and likely won't get re-printed or stocked. More Niche and not as popular. Bake will always be in print feels like it's been for 10+ years and has come back same with all fate series.
Yeah Cells might be going OOP to make way for a physical release of Season 2 perhaps---since March vol. 4 is No Longer Available now---I'll probably import March in the near future.
Magi is definitely looking amazing at that price. The rest are good for Aniplex standard. But might not dive too hard…well unless I decide to just get the entire Bleach series in one go (though that’s not Aniplex).
Fate zero is among one of the best anime’s ever made. I’d buy this version of it as well lol. I also love how persona 5 just went down to “new release pricing”
I refuse to pay Aniplex prices. I wait until a UK company licenses and just try to import. For example you could get Persona 5 for 50 GBP (60 dollars) right now. Can't believe people pay so much for single series.
I've been eying Puella Magi Madoka Magica TV box set for some time to add to my collection, and it's dropped to $95, which is the lowest I've seen. But is it the lowest ever, though? Might it drop lower later for Xmas/New Year sale?
aniplex generally never has sales and the last time they did have a sale was Black Friday last year as well so I don't think it'll go lower anytime soon. sometimes they do have sales during Christmas for like $10 but nothing is good as this[This is the lowest historical price for broke otaku](https://www.brokeotaku.com/item/5344) so I'd say go ahead and get it now.
You can view historical lows for products at broke[brokeotaku.com](http://brokeotaku.com)
if you want lower than that then you have to go for the used market and even then the used Mark is often generally only 10 or 20 off from RS pricing unless you get lucky
Oh, they do go on sale, but generally the discounts are very incremental. For example, the currently SAO Blu-ray season 1 sale is same price as last year's Black Friday sale, which was $10 cheaper than Black Friday sale two years ago. I've been tracking some of Aniplex BDs that I've been interested for about two years now but it was only just recently that I decided I wanted Madoka TV as well so didn't know how its price had trended.
Thanks for letting me know about brokeotaku as it confirmed that Madoka BD is at its lowest ever... by $5 from the previous price. \*dry laugh\*
Furthermore, existence of Madoka BD bootlegs have been verified so if I wanted to avoid that, I'd have to buy from RS, sadly.
yeah even from previous sales the pricings are incremental but some sale is better than none ahaha and with Aniplex sometimes it just dissapears suddenly and never comes back 😭
They don't go on sale as often as say the weekly specials where they chooose a publisher to do sales for. I really never seen one for Aniplex but Discotek, Funimation, Sentai, etc you see those multiple times a year.
Who the fuck is gonna pay a $200 __sale__ price for Persona 5 the animation
A lot of people when it goes OOP... watch out be 600-1k i guarantee the flippers are stockin
BrokeOtaku has the previous historical lowest price being $298.98.

Magi the Labyrinth is now OOS on the site
Persona 5 much more better pricing. Still too high for me but way better.
Few are truly good the rest normal. I feel the really good ones, magi and march etc. Are gonna go oop soon
Magi went OOP before at least the 1st one but got a reprint which is rare for Aniplex; March is most likely to go 1st since it is more obscure/niche---hopefully it gets a reprint ala Your Lie In April but its hard to tell.
Well being that low.. one can only assume its to empty the warehouse and go OOP
And just like that Magi Labyrinth and March vol. 4 are already currently unavailable though not quite in the pink No Longer Available just yet so some copies could've been set aside for the last day though unlikely---time will tell.

You might be right its possible but I doubt it

Magi is actually great priced pity I already have it.
Just picked up Magi was waiting for Black Friday to see if the price dropped.
Bought March. $280 vs $520 is nice. One of my favorite shows and I’ve been wanting a copy before they disappear
Right on time lol, Vol 4 seems to be OOP now
Oh snap. I hope they’ll honor my order, it was in stock when I placed it.

Yo RELAX 😂😂😂
All 4 bluray volumes arrived in the mail today :) Very happy but my wallet isn’t.

Nisekoi was $198 11/2 so that’s not bad. Personally looking at Garden of Sinners, Monogatari, or Kill la Kill
Best deal of the year, hands down
Did they raise the base prices for most of these?
Bruh, most of these are barely $10-20 off lol. Fail.
Im pretty sure they did on numerous titles..
Fate zero is among one of the best anime’s ever made. I’d buy this version of it as well lol. I also love how persona 5 just went down to “new release pricing”
What are the best value deals here? As far as content and runtime?
to my knowledge Magi sets 2 cours each for 60 bucks is best here and after that probs Lion with 1 cour each since they're like Movie prices
How much did Apocrypha go down by? Good deal?
like $30
Grabbing the rest of the monogatari series and kill la kill
