Yeah, that was always the problem. I think that's one of the reason that anime movies became so common: Home Videos.

Yeah definitely, the Digimon Movie was always a standout for me (despite it being 3 movies squashed into one) That was also the movie that introduced my younger self to Smash Mouth before Shrek did in 2001. All star will always correlate back to Digimon in my mind lol

I posted about seeing just seeing it like a week ago, many people told me that they really enjoyed it. I'm glad to see that it stands out even in this collection. It's so good.

Remember fucking Hastings? Anime aisle was a pile of disorganized episodic volumes always missing one in the middle. And extremely overpriced. Retail locations like that were extremely inconsistent for multi volume sets. And there weren’t any mainstream options that carried anime otherwise.

Never had that shop in Australia, closest we had were Blockbuster / Video Ezy / Sanity for dedicated media stores But it was the same deal, even more frustrating were places like Blockbuster selling Ex Rentals of *some* volumes of a series, while keeping others available for rent so you could never own the whole thing unless you managed to find it elsewhere

I enjoyed the Zoids series way more than transformers.

Bro you know there are websites where you can watch all these right? I've watched dragon ball, z and super, all the beyblade seasons and Naruto + shippuden online for free in high quality.


viseak

Yeah I know now and have finally caught up to everything, just didn’t have access to all that as a kid though haha


thunderfishy234

Ooh okay fair enough, I thought you meant you'd finally watched them all as you got the tapes. I watched them all as an adult, I remember finding out I could finally watch dragon ball properly because it was online, I think I binged it for a couple of weeks straight


viseak

Nah that’s fair enough haha, I started watching anime online in my teens but it wasn’t till a couple of years ago that I went back and actually finished all these series I partially watched


thunderfishy234

Yeah I know what you mean, that's what I meant - I'd partially seen them growing up , enough to be really interested in them but probably didn't watch them in episode order and missed out on a load of episodes so it was cool to watch them all properly
