I was gonna make a request sundae, but alas I guess it is too late ;_;

One potential problem is that the VCDs may be out of print. At least that
was what my parents were told when they tried to look for it last month in
Hong Kong and Taiwan. I'll look again when I return to Taiwan in April
(hopefully). Meanwhile if anybody in HK or Taiwan has been able to get the
VCDs recently, please let me know where you got them. Thanks in advance.

Actually not all of season 2 is available in English yet. So somebody
would need to work on that too. FWIW I'm probably going to be working on
translating episodes 51-54 (that was the only tape past 42 I was able to
get)
