I've heard of this anime for long enough, so I figured it was about time I watched it too. I watched the first 3 episodes on YouTube (I loved them) and for 'violation' reasons, I can't watch any more of them. So is there anywhere else I can find episodes 4-14? I tried LimeWire, and the only things that showed up was porno videos.

Help? :cry:

Try torrentz.com or boxtorrents.com. Anything else would require me to check at home.

Failing that I usually use google and go "[whatever it is I want] torrents"

Yeah that's what I do.

Or you could buy the DVDs, the first 2 volumes are out in the States I believe. The dub sucks though.

Dub doesn't suck. However, DVDs have dual languages. I say look for the DVDs, or rewind time to last year.

The DVDs screwed up/fixed the episode order. I'm still not sure how I feel about it, but it's not terrible. However, they've already reached the Plot Climax in the 2nd DVD.

I was watching them in the correct order on YouTube, and had to bounce between subs and dubs to keep it in order. Either way, as long as I'm watching it I don't care.

And thanks PG, I'll check that out.

I was under the impression that they had to release the DVDs that way, or certain peoples would be angry and therefore not let them release. Or something.

'Sides, the special edition version will have them in the original broadcast order.

Not sure why they would do that, since the eleventh episode is still first on the DVDs.

I can suggest a torrent, but those are kind of illegal without having the source material, if not entirely illegal. I prefer the original broadcast order, as well, even if it makes no sense for half of the episodes. It's worth re-watching the series more than once, imo.

Actually, I heard the Japanese DVDs were like this as well. I was hoping that it wouldn't carry across to the English localized versions.

Unfortunately the Japanese creators made them have their US DVDs the exact same way as the Japanese DVDs. The Japanese DVDs are in 'Correct' order as well. It was part of their contract.

However, the US Special Editions (starting with #2) have an extra DVD, subs only, with the TV broadcast order. Bandai proudly points out (http://asosbrigade.com/oplet01/) that this DVD arrangement doesn't exist anywhere else in the world.
