Been watching anime since 1995 when Sailor Moon first premiered in the states. My interest in anime and manga has grown and is still a very important hobby I partake in. I have a collection close to 3000 manga and anime DVDs/Blu-ray combined.
Not very active on here anymore. Feel free to follow me on twitter as it’s easier to get a hold of me there.
I bought a bunch of comic boxes. Not my ideal, but....
I'm going to have to move books and add another "ongoing" shelf. Might have more stuff, next vol of Vinland Saga isn't gonna fit on the shelf right.
Ah, yes, it's time for me to sell things again!

Yes he did stay with Dio till the end, but I don't know, I feel like he is some kinda a robot, though like you said he did protect him so many times, but still, did he have any emotions... ?
Anyway, both of them is the sad part of the series, I wish there more character development.
Yeah, I tend to have trouble with getting things then taking my sweet time watching them. Back when I simply bought less anime, this was never a problem, so I should totally stop buying so much. Some things are must gets though, like Rose of Versailles, I love older things! And of course I have some things on here to watch too, yikes.
I am much better with manga. For ongoing things, I'm a little less proficient, but with things I got complete sets of, they're usually not waiting for too too long. Few months at most. House of Five Leaves has been waiting 3, oddly enough. For episodic manga, it's no problem, but for shonen and stuff, I haven't read Tegami Bachi since like v7, but I have up to 11 (blame things on sale). I rarely buy ongoing things without having rented them or have them be by Fumi Yoshinaga or Osamu Tezuka, so I'll rent enough to know if I want to collect it or not, so I don't feel I'm ever doing pointless collecting. The only thing I have unread volumes of that I don't feel bad having them be unread is Ooku by Fumi Yoshinaga, because it's written entirely in fakespeare and it makes remembering where I was after finishing reading it incredibly difficult, lol, so even if it'll clearly take a while, I'll wait until it's complete and go from the start. It's really good, but damn it takes me 1.5 hours per volume, that's not normal!
I'm trying to watch like, two normal length (26 ep) series a month, that should help my backlog significantly, if I can ever get the hell of the internet. For when I'm being wishywashy, I have all the DVD backlog entries on here, and I use a random number generator to pick one.
Oh I heard about it, but I'm not made of money, and if it's about it being a premium item, well I got all three of Bandai's LE sets. So I likely already have the two disc soundtrack that'll come with the DVD release. So yeah, I do love the series, but I kinda already have it. Also, only the Blu-ray comes with the movies, not really necessary as they're just recaps anyway (though the second one is undeniably awesome, but the first is just meh)
The blu-ray has audio dramas, but I don't see the point if I can't understand them. They might as well be printed pdfs for me at that point. It also plans to have un-translated extras in Japanese audio only, which just seems diabolical.
I'll bet the Bandai version is selling out while it's still reasonably priced, seems logical. I'm glad I got mine ages ago of course.
Mind me asking why you dropped it? I should also point out that episode 4 is "that episode" where everything looks funny/fugly/like ass and we kinda try to pretend it's not there. It had a different storyboard person, but that doesn't explain why it all looks funny. Gurren Lagann has like 4 finales, each more epic than the last, one for each arc. It's like, for arcs 1 and 2, you could seriously be forgiven for thinking it could've ended there, but it just keeps going higher into the realm of unplausible physics fuckery and rule of cool. You should at least try it out til the end of arc 1 (ep 7). A lot of the first arc is "gathering the team", but since the team is already gathered, it's just straight up action from there.

All in all I really enjoyed the series.
Its so unique, the atmosphere, steampunk-ish ? I love that kind if show.
It deserve more than that...
