Rod, you got it in one.
Got to love Region locking and all that fun and games. Can't buy stuff from overseas as you run foul of the coding and its different from DVDs to Blue-Rays... don't get me started on the idiocy of the ratings board.
When I visited Hawaii, I found some DvDs selling for $5, over here in the Land of Oz at JB HiFi, same DvD: $30. (And 'you be grateful that you're getting it at such a discounted rate, freak')
I look longingly at the Cyber-Monday sales that have insane prices for DvDs and Blue-Rays. They are easy enough to get and ship over here... but don't have an unlocked player.
So you have to go through other means mostly... or save up a bit of loot.
Anyhow.. on the Anime:
I've watched a few episode of a copy of Rocket Girls. Problem was it was Japanese dub with no subtitles. The animation quality itself was good. Reminded much of SAC in parts. I can punch a couple of holes in it, but that's half the fun of anime
Now on the look out for a English Version to see if my assumptions and guesses are right.
Also watched a couple of episodes of the English Dub of Starship Operators. Now this series I'll see through to the end, if only just to see what happens.
