I gave some to friends, and ebay'd the rest. I only kept a couple series on DVD, including RahXephon of course. Same with my library, I had to sell about 1500 paperbacks at pennies to the dollar because I couldn't store them for who knows how many years...
You say "owned" again. I guess you had to leave your anime behind or give it to others when you moved to Japan? I'm not sure if I could ever do that. I'm too possessive. XD

Nodame Cantabile should have been licensed ages ago.
This would never happen because Riyoko Ikeda would demand an exorbitant price for it (and, frankly, she has the leverage to do so), but man, I'd love to see Rose of Versailles licensed someday.

I would think it should get a re-release someday. I mean, it is a pretty iconic anime, especially over here. But yeah, it all comes down to if anyone wants to rescue it, and whatever negotiations have to go into that.
What would be really interesting if Funi does rescue it is if they do an all-new dub, reversing things like Americanizing the character names.

I was hard, but liberating. Now the remainder of my stuff in the US fits in about a 5'x10' space, including my motorcycle.
Thanks,

Nice to know you kept some things, especially Rah. Shame you had to get rid of so much stuff though.
Bazinga!

Nozomi Entertainment picking up Cardcaptor Sakura and doing a blu-ray box set with a new (read: more accurate) translation would be pretty awesome.

Ah yes, Bubblegum Crisis 2040. Another good one I owned once upon a time :-)

Too bad I didn't watch it until 2009 when it was already years out of print. I'm at least glad I got Devil Lady and Bubblegum Crisis 2040.

I loved Princess Nine, actually owned all of the ADV discs back in the day.

That is one of the animes I absolutely do not want to see rescued. I'm kind of hoping people just forget about it. <<

I would have to agree with Sailor Moon, its how many American anime fans got into the genre to begin with.
