Lucky you hun! I so wish I was living in the USA just to have the privalege of buying it myself :p

Ah Ouch, I was just about to say maybe you could order it~ but I remembered about the Region 1, and 2 business. Darn. *Crosses fingers it'll make it over there* D:

Thanks for the fingers being crossed hun, I have mine crossed aswell :)

Darn my not being able to get hold of a multi-region DVD player, lol! :p

IT. HAS. ARRIVEDDDDDD~~~!!! Haha, I was practically stalking the mailman today only to have it arrive while I was preparing dinner T_T

Ok so there was a sort of advertisment for the Gauken Alice manga on the flipside of this sheet that was attached to one of the sides, were as the front side was the cover art picture but info about the box set,etc. Also on first inspection, usually liner notes are notes...in the liner of the dvd case, but all I saw was a rightstuf survey, so maybe they put it into the DVD feature? I don't know.

Now to the box itself. I'm pretty pleased with it, it got a little bent inward where the DVD's are, but since removing the packaging that really isn't a problem anymore. Also in following photos, the box itself is larger than normal DVD's so it's *just* that much taller and it sticks out a bit. Maybe it's just me, but whatever. The cover art is nice, and it's just very nice to look at really, I love the DVD's which I will get into after I drop a bunch of thumbnails :)

The DVD's are so cute, and not in a sickenly cute way, a smile went across my face at naming each dvd "first period, second period..." and so on, they did a really good job with that, I was pleasantly impressed. The DVD cover art was very nice, clean and colorful, and the backsides provide easily seen info on what episodes and what happens during these episodes which is helpful.

The art on the DVD's themselves is a close up of the DVD case art, or the same thing, and it sits nicely in the DVD case. Disc one had a fill out survey, but I still do not see these 'liner' notes to speak of.

Doesn't it look nice on my shelf -except the tallness factor- ? (Yes, this is a pathetic attempt to show off my slightly lame shelves for no reason)

Overall, I'm super happy being the Gauken Alice fan that I am, though I did want a Dub to really have it come to life in my own native language, I'm blessed to be able to have it all in one piece, because god knows how treacherous looking for all the episode parts on youtube went for me X___x I'll probably go do a semi-review aswell on the actual dvds in case I can find these so called 'liner notes' on it, but for now, whew. I'm done x_x

DVD:

Basic screen, well it's functional. Under 'Bonus' we have your basic textless OP and ED, Character Bios, and translation notes, also included were some trailers. I think the translation notes = liner notes I guess. It's so cool to see Gauken Alice on the 'big' screen, instead of a little dinky bad quality youtube video 8D 8D Though I can say I'm not a fan of the yellow subs. What's wrong with white? I like white!! Oh well.

I have a question, who is the blonde guy who is carrying Mikan piggy back? I can't seem to remember him from the manga...

That's Narumi-sensei.

Kyaaaaaa!!! Oh my goodness! That box set looks so good! I'm totally jealous! :D

Way to go Mistypearl! Im so glad that it finally arrived for your viewing pleasure! :D

Thanks :D It's really amazing to see it so big, I should watch it on the tv instead of just my computer screen then I think I would go crazy or something o-o

Oh wow, he looks a lot younger there than he does in the manga. XD

He's my third favourite GA character after Mikan & Natsume ;) :D

If anyone is looking for information OR interested in contributing, there is a Gakuen Alice wiki at Wikia.


@Mistypearl
How do the DVD's spell Ruka? (Luca,Luka, Ruka,....?) or Leo/Reo for that matter?

@Sxerks, I don't have the DVD's where I am right now, but as soon as I get back to the East Coast I'll look for the spellings for you :) Expect an answer probably the 18th.

The series is really cute. Mikan is funny.. I love it. Is there season 2.I can't wait when the charactes will be fully teenagers. They will look so awesome, don't you think everyone???

Gakuen Alice is awesome! I can't believe it ended already :( Ending was not the best. I really hope there's a season 2 and Mikan finds Hotaru!

Well there is still the manga...

Actually the manga just ended on June 18 with chapter 180.
