Shojo Kakumei Utena Complete CD Box [Limited Release]AnimationReally a must buy!!!
Last time this was issued it sold out, and now I see why. Each and every one of the songs that appeared on the series (With exception of Fiance ni naritai sung and Sega videogame theme sung) apears here. It also includes songs that never appeared on the series yet they were marketed along, drama tracks and the musical of Utena too. If you buy this you won't need to hunt all the other cds that are already out of prints. The design of the box and the cases is also really beautiful, probably the newest art for the series made in years. The only minus point is that the jewel cases feel a little flimsy and cds don't stay in place much so you have to be really careful with the package. But otherwise is a great set and really worth it if you don't have the soundtrack already or don't have it complete.

Luminous [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]ClariSKinda let me down
First let's clear one thing out of the way, Luminous is not Connect and will never be Connect. Is a really nice song but it doesn't live up to it's predecesor. neither does this version. The packaging and presentation is nice and everything, but the songs are not that good and dvd included... kinda sucks. It's just the animated versions of Claris singing but the animation is really terrible and it doesn't feel like the extra yens you spent on this version were worth it. The sticker included (now sold out) was nice but maybe a better choice might be the Madoka version who had even better packaging and presentation and also had a version of Connect. If you actually like Luminous and the rest of the songs better get the regular version, you won't be missing on much. Or hunt for the Madoka version that seems to be much better.

Hikari Furu [w/ DVD, Limited Pressing (Anime Edition)]Kalafinaworth it!
If you adored the new songs Kalafina made for the movies you must have this, or if you adore Kalafina in general you must have it too. The packaging is really really lovely, many albums don't get to look this pretty. The songs are ALL GOOD, and if you don't have a version of Magia already this will make it worth your money. The instrumental songs you may not find it on other cds so you may want this one if you want a version you want to sing too. The dvd is just a video with clips of the movie, not the best AMV but it's nice though. I find this THE better version of the FOUR that came out. For the package and Magia quattro which doesn't come on the other versions. If you are only going to buy ONE version of the single buy this one.

Kalafina 5th Anniversary LIVE SELECTION 2009-2012 [Regular Edition]KalafinaGreat Compilation
First time buying Kalafina cds and don't know how to start? This might be the product for you! It's a very nice selection of their first years of career recorded live in very good quality! It holds it's own on the recorded versions great! The price might be a little high but consider this is a double album and each and every song it's worth it's price. People who already follow Kalafina might not be interested in this version much but if you a are a completist or will only buy one Kalafina cd ever might like this one a lot.
