TTGL for sale where i live!!

[0235]

this is the most amazing thing ever, TTGL is for sale in my local DVD store!! which only sells Naruto or spirited away, so i was amazed, shame all four copies had been bought! 

but how is this possible, for it to be onl sale where i live must mean that it is a must buy!

You live in England don't you?
Beez released the first DVD boxset like in June. When I went to the anime expo in May they were selling them there. The next volume is out next month I think..

I almost posted a review on Play.com for vol#1 entitled: "Great series, terrible translation".

But decided not to.

[Kov]

You should have done.
Slightly related, I put the first disc in my PS3 for something to watch whilst doing something else and the font they used was terrible. It was offputting and unreadable.
It's things like this that puts me off buying the DVDs.

In a sort-of related question: when did fansubbers stop using yellow with a black border for text color and switch to white?

[kryss]

I can't remember them ever using that tbh...

Yellow with a black border is the only proper way to present subtitles.  White subtitles are unreadable during bright scenes; and the damned subtitles get smaller every year, making it impossible for people with failing eyesight (like me) to read them from across a room.

But yeah, makers of subtitles seem to be opting for tiny white-only fonts these days.  That's all right, if you want to kiss a computing-system's monitor screen; but if you're viewing is done via a television receiver it's torture.  So as much as I dislike dubbed films and prefer subtitled ones, I'm having to either opt for dubbing or sit in a chair right in front of the television-receiver screen.
