Low Funds
Box sets are evil. They cost an arm and a leg, but sometimes it’s the only way to watch a certain series.
Sigh, it’s especially true of Anime, since a lot of the time box sets are cheaper than buying individual DVDs of an entire series.

The worst thing I hate about box sets is when you send someone out and you come back only to find that, in actual fact, they bought the wrong season….
As for anime… there are some people that actually make trips over to Japan. They bring back a box filled with anime straight from there and you end up paying like 3 bucks for the DVD… I think he charges 10$ total for overweight and stuff….
