Just Odd Enough to Mention

krpalmerI can suppose "dreaming in anime" is "a thing," but also something that to make a big deal of will make you seem "obsessed." However, dreaming about the way it's sold on discs and what happens after those discs are sold does seem sort of different...
Waking up, the impression that an exchange program had been announced for the box-set release of Zeta Gundam managed to stick with me long enough to transfer into waking memory. That that particular release would sneak up on me dreaming caught my attention. I have the impression the combined scandal of the opening and closing themes being left off the DVDs sold over here and the subtitles seeming sort of inaccurate marked the end of a golden age to some fans, and certainly did seem to throw Bandai Entertainment into the unfortunate role of the "R1" company that could always find a way to mess up its most eagerly awaited releases until the day it was shut down, but I also have to admit I watched through Zeta Gundam, and then a second and a third time just trying to confirm the personal impression, with the feeling I'd been oversold on it beforehand. On the other hand, I'd watched through all seven Blu-Rays of Gundam Unicorn just the week before, and felt better about it in particular at the end.
In any case, I somehow don't have the impression the dream included news of the replacement DVDs including the opening and closing themes, which made what you would get sort of elusive. Nor did it seem to identify just who you'd be sending away to, which eliminates any sort of prophetic edge. It was still odd enough to be remembered, though.
