† Koga Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Which do you prefer to buy now days. I prefer box sets honestly. Singles IMO costs too much for just 3-4 episodes. And you know that a box set will eventually come out and will be cheaper. I just got the Naruto Shippuden Box Set 1 and I got it for just $25. If I would have gotten the 3 singles instead, I would have had to pay $45 in total. (The prices are lower cuz I go to target.com, print out the page and take them to best Buy and have them match the price). Shippuden Box sets are coming out about 3 months apart it seems....with it coming 1 month right after the last single that will be in the set......yea....go viz >_>. I've always hated singles. But I know I've been spoiled but 20+ episodes box sets so even the Shippuden sets being 13 episodes a piece kinda makes me.......ECK! So how to you buy your anime....if you buy it all? Box Sets, or singles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Box sets. But I hate the 13 episode half season box sets that FUNi and Viz both seem to be shooting out now. I want to see more whole seasons / series.For example why does a 26 episode series need to be split? They can do the entire series in one box set.

MSZ-006 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I like box sets better I mostly like them from bandai because they usually come with a few extra things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relak Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 i would get singles if given the chance.I heard they take out a lot of the extras in the boxsetsTo bad i dont live in USA so importing boxsets is the only option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuneko Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 i buy box sets merely for convenience sake. it's impossible to find all singles in a series where i live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboy9524 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 i buy box sets merely for convenience sake. it's impossible to find all singles in a series where i liveyea same here never bought single cause never found the whole series,not even on ebay ...so annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chob101 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Box Sets for sure, and i really hate it when they give out half season box sets or not full box sets, like when i bought my bleach season 1 box set i was so excited then i found out that it only had 20 episodes, i'm pretty sure bleach has 26 episodes per season and on the box cover it said this box set has 5 more episodes! like it was proud to have 5 more eps what were they gonna release a 15 episode box set! i hate but it's a box set so i'll buy it, singles cost way too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantern89 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I have found that box sets are deffinately the way to go. Single cost too much for the amount of eps one gets and then there is the storage. OMG my bro Chaos92is more of a said collector than I am and he is constantly searching for better ways to store his series. Of late he has been buying box sets and giving me the old singles so now it is becoming my problem to find a place to put them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki1390 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I'm 100% to the box sets, as long as they don't make more seasons after they have released it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winged_Lumi91 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 i have to say box sets since you could get a whole season at the price of a single or even for less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikezilla2012 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I Like the Box Sets More.i kinda don't like the Singles/Volumes they release somethimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dp2228 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I haven't bought singles or box set yet but if i do it would be box set. I think its bullshit that they charge more for singles than the box set i don't understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Ryan Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I only buy Box Sets, and never those "half season" ones.If I buy a Box Set it must be a "Season" or a "Complete Series". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† ParasiteEve Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I like buying full size box sets, I don't like the thin pak sets thanks the the Excel Saga set that cut out all the extras and was Ep's only and it still costed me 60$.The only time I buy singles nowadays is if I'm buying rare dvds like Serial Experiments Lain or Boogiepop Phanton...which I'm still working on getting x,x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagara117 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Box sets hands down. Less space, more features and cheaper, especially if you get a good deal through amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye3211 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Definitely box sets. Not only can I watch every episode of a season/series in a row, but the packaging is a lot better, and will usually come with extra features like artwork, figurines, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Zero- Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Box Sets for me. Buying the singles costs me way too much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
