[Old Stuff] Star Wars Trilogy VHS Box Sets

About a day ago, I got a pretty good deal on Ebay. I happened to have some 5 dollar off coupon that ebay gave me to go "hey man you should BUY some shit", and someone was selling a somewhat messed up VHS box set of the Star Wars Trilogy for 10 dollars. So, using my $5 dollar coupon, I bought it, for only $5! This is it. See, it's somewhat messed up. It doesn't seem to come with the slipcover it's supposed to, and it's clear that copy of Return of the Jedi is one of the original, individual releases. Actually, hold that thought. You're looking at me funny. You're going "why the hell would you, in nearly the year of our lord anno domini two-thousand and nineteen, buy VHS tapes?". Well first off, I like VHS tapes.

It's time! For the Anime! Of! The Year! Po! St!

I really wish they'd stopped at season 1. I really like that one, it was super good, I put Mikazuki on my favorite characters list. It was a really, good, show. And IBO 2 isn't. It's dumb, and bad, and is very "we needed a plot cuz we got greenlit for season 2". I don't like it, I stopped watching it, I'd rather watch Thunderbolt, and that one has a guy who drums in the cockpit of his mobile suit.
