I'm done with the first two discs of The Shana BD. It's flying by way too quickly. Margery Daw is awesome, not to mention stupid Marcho. Who'da thunk a masochistic magical tome bound by leather would be a great character?

I just finished Volume 1 of Samurai Girl: Real Bout High School, so far I’m really liking this one,
It’s a very fun watch, with a little Pantsu going on. ( attention: kiku ) 
I was buying something else last Month and this was one of the "other Titles you might like" suggestions that popped up.
After reading some of storyline, I bought it than and there.
Looking forward to Volume 2.…
P.S.
This one has Cowboy Bebop VA’s, Wendee Lee ( main lead character )
& David Lucas, aka: Steve Blum ( off & on main supporting character ) To be sure, I'd pick it up if RightStuf had it; but I don't want to pay the inflated prices for it elsewhere. As always, thanks for the pantsu alert. You da best B Dub.

I watched disc 1 of Haunted Junction.
It's kinda goofy and weird.
Basically a whole bunch of school spirits fight against evil spirits.
With the help of a Shinto priestess (who loves little boys), a Budhist monk (who gets possessed easily & loves the toilet ghost Miss Hanako), and a son of a Christian minister (who can use these special badges to summon the various ghosts).
For a Bandai title, it's kinda odd that it has 6 episodes on one disc.
Plus it's sub-only, which I guess is kinda odd for the time period this came out.
Anyways, it's fun so far, but definitely not a future purchase.

The series came out in the late 90's when series were still being partially brought out on VHS and a lot of those series were either sub or dub only by default so being sub-only isn't that strange. As for the number of episodes per disc, I can only assume the company was going for what then would be considered a slimmer packaging design so they could release the entire series in one set. I don't think Bandai had much faith in the series and that they didn't think it would sell as well if spread out through multiple discs with fewer episodes. Edit: Actually the series was originally VHS so the sub-only thing is pretty much standard.

Have you got to Madusa yet? On Soul Eater.
Hopefully you are watching the dub, just cause it's fun.
I just LOL everytime I think of the "Excalibur" song... Sorry, missed this post. I'm on episode 12, I believe at this point Medusa has only had a cameo a few episodes back. I am watching the dub! & i agree it IS very fun!

Oh, I guess then the other stuff with the pattern of 5-4 episodes or 4-3 episodes was not normal?
I can name multiple series that had the episodes spread across 6-8 discs this way. IE first disc & last disc had the most episodes, and the middle had the fewest.
Of course with most VHS stuff it was maybe 3 episodes tops, with the average being 2.
Anyhow as far as the Soul Eater dub, I guess you know who voiced Madusa in the dub?
It just blew my mind when I found out it was her, due to that not being a normal role she does....
