OTOH back in the VHS days one didn't worry about how hard something might be to find, as stock was constantly refreshed and special orders were prompt. Of course once the retailers started their "we don't want long series" nonsense and vendors dropped volume numbers from the tapes, replacing them with names to make them seem like they're stand-alone movies, (cough cough ADV *hack ack* Blue Seed) finding the next volume proved to be a huge problem, ESPECIALLY if you had to special order it.
I never finished Blue Seed and Outlaw Star because of this. And I want the subbed VHS because I seem to be quite OCD on this issue. :)
