The film is celebrated as a landmark of 1990s anime and a showcase of the era's finest animation talent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eOuter slipcase\/OBI header band: Present and intact — very good condition, minor handling wear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eOuter box (matte black hardshell): Very good overall; minor scuffing to edges typical of storage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eInner disc box: Present (note — one corner of the inner box has minor damage per visible photos)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eAll 3 individual disc jackets: Present in original poly sleeves, artwork excellent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eDeluxe pamphlet\/booklet: Present and intact\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eDiscs: Not removed for photography; presumed complete — recommend buyer inspect upon receipt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eNo factory seal — open collector's set\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003e\"Memories Special Preview\" bonus content included per box rear text\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eShipping:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eThis LaserDisc will be packaged with care in a dedicated LaserDisc mailer or box to ensure it arrives safely and in the same condition it left us.
