Shouldn't be to hard a task, its still in print here in AU and also in the US, so i cant imagine it would be terribly likely to be out OOP anywhere else.
Tha's sets/fatpacks of course, loosies might be a bit more of a challenge but even then i still find around the place.

I'm thinking of buying the cheap box sets of Darker Than Black season 1 and Wolf's Rain. If I like those I'll probably expand my beginning collection further with Witch Hunter Robin and Ergo Proxy.
I haven't watched much last week, except for Baccano which quickly became one of my favourites and the weekly series.
I'm glad that "Color Rangers" story arc in Level E is over, didn't like it as much as the first arc. Next episode looks promising though. ^_^ Dragon Crisis was mediocre again and Kore Zombie... well didn't we have enough weird characters? The "Ayumu turns into a Masou Shoujo" joke is getting old too.

Which is why they need to keep adding in new gimmicks to make it funny, such as tentacles O_o .

Sides, you can never have enough vampires or ninja's. Having them both together is just an added bonus.

But the necromancer turned Masou Shoujo is really cool :) I extracted a hi-res wallpaper out of that image. :D

@Jesse: Oh yeah, I think I erased that moment from my mind. That was horrible.
@Louiellen: Yeah, I like Eucliwood too (had to look up that name though :P ). For some reason she reminds me a lot of Kanade from Angel Beats.
Just watched Kimi ni Todoke ep 7, it's still pretty sweet but I wish all the misunderstandings would be cleared. That'll probably not happen before the last episode, because the story would be over when that happens. ;)

@Dynamic Hawk: Both. While its totally understandable (if not exactly 'legal') to download a series which isn't available to you in your region/language, you really should try to buy physical media where its possible to do so.
It only benefits you in the long run, when you follow the money chain and see where it goes: You pay licensor > licenseor has more money to buy new licenses for your region> anime studio has more money to make more anime> more anime gets made for you to enjoy.
And the thing with anime is that unlike conventional media, the industry isn't exactly dripping with money to begin with. Theres to many people with a 'some anime is free therefore all anime must be free' or a 'why would I buy what I can get for free' mentality.
Sides, theres soemthing about being able to hold the DVD downloading juts cant beat.

I agree with you. In the area where I live people just download everything and it's quite rare to know someone (especially among teenagers and young adults) who buys DVDs or BDs (I know only one person irl who does).
But if everyone would do that the producers wouldn't make any money and lose their main reason to make movies, it's their job after all.
I don't say I'm innocent, actually most of the stuff that I watch is on streaming websites (not crunchyroll). But if I would buy everything I watch I would've been broke a long time ago.
I think downloading is okay as long as when you see a really good show you support the creators by buying their products (DVDs or merchandise). Some people may disagree with me on this, but I believe this is fair enough.
