CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

I'm a huge Iria fan. I own the first DVD release of it.

However there has recently been a new, special edition DVD set put out with tin collectors case, the works. Now, I need everyone's input ... do I go fangirl and buy the special edition DVDs even though I already own the series ... or do I remain happy with my meager first edition DVD?

You tell me!

It all depends on what sort of special features it has.

Sell the old ones and buy the new ones?

I'm such a fan collector, though, that I like collecting label variations of things.

Go for it!!! Buy the tin can and all it entails. Oh, and btw, Gypsy, your love of Iria forced me to buy the special edition DVD of Iria. I love the show. Thanks. ^_^

Gyp, you forgot the "give Ash a lot of money and some anime titles" option.

But, I'd normally say save your money. In this case though...I like ShiHi's idea.

I would say don't buy the DVDs since you've already paid for them and therefore already have them, or you can do what ShiroiHikari said and just sell your current collection and buy the special edition-- and save money that way too. If you don't mind paying the money for them then go for it. The special edition sounds really awesome.

Buy it, I mean surely if any fan would want more collectibles of whatever is they enjoy. If you must sell the old one in place of getting the new one...but uh are there a whole lot of extras. I mean when I go fanboy on something I don't care if the extras are extreme I still buy it. It's still a little something to take into consideration.

there's a tin collector's case??! must buy!!! XD *runs off to store*

It depends on what the special edition has that the normal DVDs wouldn't. I'd recommend saving your money, though.

You can never have enough of a good thing, right? But my opinion shouldn't count much, after all this is coming from a girl who spends her money as soon as she saves enough up, buys and thus dropping back down to her -$5

I must agree with LightBringer. You already have the series. How much is a tin Case really worth? Now if it was coupled with some orriginal art and maybe an optional viewing with commontary, or perhaps the "making of" bonus. Then I would be obligated to encourage you to get it. That is, ofcourse, as long as you dont have to check your couch cushions to pay for it.........

Check ebay for a used copy of the tin thing cheaper later on...or just steal some of your brothers money....I mean....nevermind.

Well ... as for ebay ... I want it nowand I'd rather use my Suncoast card to rack up some frequent otaku points, if you know what I mean. And this new edition does have extras .... I think ... I think I'm going to buy it!

I agree with Shiroi.

I would base that decision on how much you can sell your old dvds for(a), and how much the new ones cost(b). Then, figure out what extras you will get with your new set and decide if you would pay the difference for them. Are they worth it? I know alot of things I would pay the difference for a collector's set for, so if you're a real fan I would probably go for it.

By the way, God made females, such as myself, impulsive so I say--- GO FOR IT!!!! Embrace your rash-er side!
