Search - Code Geass Leouch of the Rebellion R2: Part 4 on DVD

Bandai didn't do it justice... or is it our fault?

"Rather than review the show itself, as I'm assuming that you're already aware of the total awesomeness of this series, I'll instead be reviewing the contents of this item.



Like the previous limited edition versions of code geass R2, this comes with a thin cardboard slip cover which contains a dvd case and vol. 7 of the manga adaptation. This slip cover is wider than previous slip covers because the manga is thicker. It's just a little too big to properly fit 2 dvd cases into. Inside of the dvd case are two DVDs, vol. 7 and 8. each dvd contains the usual: several episodes, a few babaflash vids, etc. Nothing substantially new here. Everything that you get in the regular edition pretty much.



Only buy this version if you can get it cheaper than the standard edition or if you collect the manga. Overall Bandai has let us all down... Compared to season 1's amazing content that came with the special editions, R2's is severely lacking. There are no inserts, no OSTs, no Picture dramas, no CD dramas, and no collector's box. While all of these items do indeed exist in japan, Bandai never got any of them translated for the U.S. release. Then again, perhaps it is the community's fault. Code Geass is one of the most pirated animes today. Because of this, bandai is losing a lot of money. The community has hurt this anime greatly. But that's still no excuse for not supplying the hardcore fans with at least the collector's box that they deserve.



Basically... it comes with the usual. *sad face*"
