I have so much love for YouTube right now. Insane amounts of love.
For the last two weeks, I've watched episodes of Blood (Blood Plus) on the Cartoon Network. They show it late Saturday night (or early Sunday morning, whichever you prefer). I immediately took to the show and began a search for the DVDs. You can imagine my disappointment when I realized the episodes have never had a DVD release in the US. I did find DVDs of the first thirty episodes from Malaysia, but they weren't the correct region. An anime nerd (I have much love for the anime nerds) on a message board said that Sony had bought the rights to the DVD release for this series. Apparently, Sony has a shaky track record with anime releases. Basically, they put the series on the back burner if they don't think it is going to rake in the cash.
Dammit. I need to know more about Saya and Haji and all the other people whose names I don't know yet.
YouTube to the rescue! Some kind, kind soul has posted all fifty episodes of the series. I'm downloading the eleventh episode as I type this. For those who aren't aware, you can use this very easy method to download YouTube videos on your hard drive.
