DVD Day: February 5th, 2008
Slow week unless you’re into anime, kids.
? Mystery Science Theater 3000 Vol. 10.2
Contains Swamp Diamonds, Teen-age Strangler, Giant Spider Invasion and The Giant Gila Monster (in place of the first colume 10’s Godzilla vs. Megalon). This is the last Rhino MST3K release before Shout Factory picks it up, FYI.
? Cowboy Bebop Remix Anime Legends Set
Finally! The box set of the remastered, stereo mix. And for only $40, it’s a hell of a deal.
? Devil May Cry Vol. 1
Looks like this thing came out anyways, but I don’t know if that means any thing good for ADV, as the title has still been removed from their website. More likely these discs were pressed and shipped to retailers before the badness went down.
? Fullmetal Alchemist Season II, Part I
More o’ the same.
? Perfect Strangers Complete First & Second Seasons
Two seasons in one set? DON’T BE RIDICULOUS.
Also, I’m not mentioning Perfect Strangers because I’m a fan, but I figure if you want to buy a DVD of the show, you’re obviously some huge nerd, which means it should be mentioned. So there. Please believe me.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
