I swear, my Akira box set from Amazon came in 4 boxes. They protected it with their life

[@bossbabyhyeju5774]

Same, and I thank them for that

[@zoniotdd992]

Id buy that and 20th century boys right now if it wasn't so expensive

The feeling of opening a box set for the first time and seeing them all lined up like that is so euthoric.

[@hvassios]

and the feeling of having to cramp them back together destroys that euphoria

It really is I just bought the Assassination Classroom boxset today it’s the first boxset I ever bought and opening it felt so amazing I have One Piece boxset 4 on pre-order so now I’m waiting for that to come in the mail and can’t wait to get that experience again of opening it

I know it's a basic series but I bought the box set for Demon Slayer because it was basically $100 discounted from buying the books individually. I don't even care if it comes with any extras LOL

[@CloudMountainJuror]

Pandora Hearts was totally worth that fancy treatment lol. I love my Pandora Box.

[@RandomPerson-uw1oo]

Yea, in my opinion, quality over quantity. In a sense that I respect a company who treat a manga that was a masterpiece with complete respect even when it was underrated over a company who's just trying to follow the trend with a popular manga that wasn't a masterpiece just to get that quick money even when it's a very good box set (good box set is still nice though of course). Lol XD Not to say popular manga can't be a masterpiece of course, like Fullmetal Alchemist was a masterpiece for example. I'm just saying I respect a company that didn't hold them back when dealing with something underrated. So I was abit hurt when the guy in the video was like, why is this good when I never heard of Pandora Hearts (without doing research beforehand), making a good box set based on a good pun (making it sound like it wasn't being it was a masterpiece). But oh well, it can't be helped, I know Pandora Hearts is underrated so it is what it is. Lol XD

[@Katetanic]

*imagines what a berserk box set would look like when the series is over* ......😳😳

[@anthonymorse1200]

So true, really makes me appreciate the 3 volumes Hellsing will be when they finish it this summer lol

[@cboy0512]

if the deluxe editions stop at volume 39, that would be at least 52 pounds in one box set

[@balkthor]

Why do you hate your imagination?

[@1030warren]

The world would just end

[@turtleanton6539]

[@amberrizzi1207]

I got my first box set as a total surprise from my boyfriend’s grandmother. She knew I was obsessed with Death Note and bought it for me for Christmas! I can’t bring myself to touch it that often, though, as I’m afraid I’ll damage the volumes (I have the entire series on my iPad)

[@edee.]

literally. i checked a couple months ago and the price had been inflated, but i was still willing to pay because it was going to be cheaper than buying them individually. i checked today, and the box set ranges from $200 to $700. it’s crazy!!

[@agentlegal6951]

Same I pre-ordered the demon slayer set when it was $118, it’s delayed but there’s no restock of Tokyo ghoul box set and it was on Amazon for $500+ 😭 As for fairy tail, I’m going to preorder when the last box sets release. Yes a lot of money but I love it so much lol

[@user-lv7vz8dr5j]

That Pandora Box(set) is so amazing. I've not seen any other boxset really that just makes me want to own it like that one haha.

[@turtleanton6539]

What is pandora even about

[@user-lv7vz8dr5j]

​@@turtleanton6539 Pandora Hearts(from what I remember) is essentially a fantasy manga that takes many artistic inspirations and character licenses from Alice in Wonderland with all these competing family houses and drama as characters make contracts with said Alice-esque characters to fight. There was a 1 season anime too. I remember it being beautifully drawn and very intriguing in its plot, but then getting a bit complicated towards the end haha but I def think it's worth checking out (especially reviews of the series here on KZbin)

[@hamsamich9]

I lol'd at the Berserk papers bit 5:17. Guilty

[@clarityreunited]

When you made the joke about stacking up box sets as tower I thought it was funny how relatable that was, but when you made the joke about the berserk papers i was genuinely terrified that you peered into my soul. I just finally brought myself to throw those away like last week .

[@rsant7599]

I like the advice on the last part. Haha "Think of your financial situation. They will not be gone tomorrow, and if they are, it's NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!" Me with a ridiculous credit card debt hahaha

This was brilliant. It's rare I actually laugh at KZbin/anime humour, but you nailed it. Subscribed!

[@Shroomlet]

I have the FMA, Deathnote, Bakuman and Nausicaä box sets. They are all pretty nice quality, the Velcro that holds the FMA box shut came off very quickly but a little super glue fixed that. The others all came in good condition and protect the manga well

[@lichi502]

same ! like it’s cool to have the box set since you can get everything in one go but the manga itself on the shelf without the box looks 100% better.
