Yes, make sure they don't get to keep your money.  Really research the sites you find to buy from, it saves a lot of hassle in the long run.  Good luck, man.

Everything's settled now, I sent a cancellation email to the people and notified the CC company.  I'll still be getting volume 2, though, I just ordered it from a much more reputable source (YesAsia). ;D

[ElricJC]

Excellent, and I might have to look at YesAsia myself, never used them before, if Vol. 3 is a little hard to get a hold of.

They don't have Volume 3. :(

[ElricJC]

Damn, I see that.  However I see Vol. 1 of Second Barrage?  In English?  I thought they never released it, or did they manage to squeeze the one out?

[Foggle]

If you try to order it, after they process your order, they'll most likely come back and tell you that they don't have any copies.  Volume 1 of TSB was 15 days away from being released when Geneon USA kicked the bucket.

>.> Well bloody hell, that sucks... So many good anime went down with those idiots (Black Lagoon, Higurashi, Hellsing Ultimate, god knows what else).  Have you heard anything about a season 3, I know they need to catch up to the manga (or is it the other way around?), but how many volumes did the series cover?

Season 3 is rumored by many, though it's never been officially confirmed or denied, so signs point to it coming out eventually.  If my facts are straight, the first season covered the first three books minus the vampire twins arc, the second season covered books 4 and 5, as well as said arc.  Currently there are 7 volumes, so the next season should be coming out pretty soon.

Whether it hits our respective continents is another thing...

[ElricJC]

Which is why I am thankful and yet again upset with fan subbing - on the one hand it gives us access to anime we might never see, while on the other it is part of the reason why Geneon USA and other anime companies have tanked. 

Of course, advertising more would likely have helped them demarginalize themselves but... naw, I better stop, that's a whole different issue :/

I love how this thread is on page 4 and only 4 different people have posted in it. :il_hahaha:

[Necrominion]

Serious discussionings have been discussed....very serious

[ElricJC]

Very serious indeed.  Now I am going back to rewatching TSB - this series really grew on me with TSB, especially when they humanized Revy more.  Maybe it's just the overexposure to it now, but I might have to knock my rating up to 9/10.

[Foggle]

I'd prefer to just watch the whole thing a second time, as aside from #20: The Succession, I really felt that there were no "bad" episodes.

[Necrominion]

The last episode annoyed me at points, I ended up muttering under my breath for it to bloody get on with it.  Albeit there were in effect no bad episodes, i did find myself at points throughout both series for them to get on with it, it was like sitting through the ending to the last Lord of the Rings movie.
