Second Barrage is licensed by Geneon but never got released.  You know what that means.

Bugger, my hopes were up when I saw gohastings.com and they had it listed, just out of stock, so I thought maybe it was floating around out there, having sneaked through Geneon's colossal belly-flop, but I guess not.  Oh, further notes, I just switched back to Japanese - the background characters voices are just too annoying to stand, which is a shame because the leads were pretty good.  Damn scrub "actors."

Just finished season 2, LOVED the last four episodes.  (S-s-s-spoilers!) It's implied that Revy killed Eda after the credits in episode 24, right?  Or did she intentionally miss or something? (End spoilars)

I believe she intentionally missed....currently trying to find the last few volumes of the manga to confirm this but having no such luck just yet.

From what I've heard, the manga's actually behind the anime, even right now.  But there's no way that could be right.

Well we should know by now that anime are not always the gospel truth when it comes to the original story telling.....

No, I mean, these people said that the last anime arc hasn't been finished in the manga yet, which can't be true, as one of my friends has read past the ending of TSB.

Well, only Geneon USA went under.  Their Japanese offices are still alive and kicking, which is as much of a blessing as it is a curse, since it seems that they don't want to send their anime to non-Geneon North American distributors.

Ah, sorry, yes, it's only Region 1.  I was mainly posting it because I spent five hours going to several different stores and searching the internet to find it.  :e_embarassed: I already had volume 1, and I can get disc 3 from amazon.com easily, so I can now say I own the complete first season.  Now let's just hope some other company picks up The Second Barrage. >_<

Too bad Geneon is being so anal about working with other non-Geneon US branches :(.  My discs 1 and 2 should arrive in a couple of weeks, and then I'll likely go fishing on Amazon to grab the third, hopefully before they're out since no more are being made.  I suppose the only way I can see TSB or the possible 3rd season (whenever that is) will be through Fan Subs.

Fuck me in the ass, I'm too late.  PLEASE tell me you didn't order from my link.  I just found out that it's a scam.  I'm very sorry, I didn't know, and am now out $30 myself.

Oh hell, sorry man :(, but I ordered from Hastings, they're legit.  Damn, how did you find out they are a scam?  I'll remember that site from now on though, but that sucks ass.  Freakin scammers, that's why I never buy online unless it's from a store I know personally, too many rip-off artists out there.

Glad to know you didn't get ripped off, too.  I poked around Google a bit and looked at the seller rating for the site, noticed that it had a rank of 1.3/5, and read the feedback.  Apparently, they used to be a legit business, but now just take people's money, never ship the items and don't answer customer service emails.  I'll wait a few weeks so I can have evidence that they aren't even trying to send me the product, get my money back from the credit card company, and order it from YesAsia or something.
