May 2025 Catchups

@karasutengu I would say it's less stopped, and more that's where the author's currently up to. For Banner, v4 came out in 2004, v5 in 2013 and v6 in 2018. So the gap between v6 and now is still smaller than the gap between v4 and v5. And considering the series initially started publishing in the 90s, the author is obviously not pumping out volumes in the first place.

Apparently, there's a
sequel series after Bannershort story collection but it hasn't been translated yet.How did you collect the anime? I haven't found anywhere streaming it or selling Blu rays.

The anime collection was a nightmare. I started getting it on eBay in bits and pieces then found the complete sets for Crest, Banner and Banner II as well on eBay. Amazon also still has the sets available, but they are costly. Also none of them are in Bluray, but the quality is good. I got Banner III (which is just 2 OVA DVDs) from Japan, but both DVDs are in Japanese since Banner III was never dubbed in English. Many of the single DVDs I initially purchased on eBay were defective, and I had to return them, so I strongly suggest your get the complete sets instead even if they cost more.
