Hoo boy. This is a toughie.

I'm a big-time Tenchi fan, but a fan mainly of the original OAV series (the videos in question, luckily), not so much of the TV series. Tenchi was big, yes, but I'm not sure it was the most popular show of its time. After all, ask any five random otaku and you'll get five answers as to "best anime of XYZ timeperiod."

If nobody was renting the thing, he made the right business decision in selling it off. There are undoubtedly better anime titles that would be more appealing to whatever anime contingent is in your neck of the woods.

That said... first thing next year, supposedly, the Fullmetal Alchemist DVDs should start appearing. Two words: HELL YES. Two more words: MUST SEE. (Yes, it's that good. Thank the goddesses for digisubs.)

Well, ok. I'm not questioning his business decisions, just the market that drives him to do insane things like pulling the tenchi OVA ;)

So Full Metal Alchemist eh? I haven't heard of them
