Thats cool, yea where did you find that out? Anyway, I heard that the manga wasn't very good. Is that true? I've seen them in the bookstores and looked through them and they looked alright...

I love the manga. But its almost the same as the anime and that might be what people have trouble with *shrug*

I actually thought the manga was great. In a lot of ways, I liked it better than the anime. I originally watched the anime and liked it, but it was the manga that made me love the series. I think all the little comic captions that made me crack up and the internal monologue from the characters, especially Kaname, really drew me into the story.

Really? I should check them out...
And from the previous post, I wonder which manga volume will be in the boxset.

Logic would dictate that it would be Volume 1 of the Manga. Ne?

True, true...

The Second DVD/volume of TSR will be available on January 9, 2007. You can preorder this one too. Eh, I wish it would come out sooner...

I got the info from this website:

If you go to Amazon.com and read the product description, you'll notice that the set comes with "Bonus Episode, Audio Commentaries and 3 Documentaries (Tour at Japanese Self Defense Force, Location Scouting in Hong Kong - Part 1 and Dawn of Light Novel)." So I'm led to believe it's a documentary about a novel, not a novel itself. I think the more appropriate question here is what exactly is the dawn of light novel? Could they be referring to The End of Day by Day? To me this makes more sense than to just include one of the graphic novels in with the set because those storylines have nothing to do with TSR.

Yea I read that too, I don't know what it is either, but I wonder what the bonus episode is. I'm guessing it might be the OVA? Who knows...

Oh yea! Forgot about that little preview thing...damnet I was hoping they'd actually have a new bonus episode...eh

I was hoping the the tess ova rather than the useless preview episode......

Might become a bonus on the final DvD ?
I'm not sure R1 peeps will pay the price for just one episode.

IMHO it's just a short docu about how the light novel FMP books came to be...
"The dawn of the light novel."

The extra's seem to be less impressive than I'd hoped.
The Tessa OVA should've been included.
However, the novel docu might be interesting.
