I would like to have seasons 3 and 4 available to buy as well so I could finish watching the entire series instead of watching half a series. I can't wait for more episodes to become available. The whole show is as good if not better than Inuyasha.

**Edit 3-6** Looks like Season 1 finally got a full season release and is caught up to the end of season 2. Hopefully the rest will come soon *EDIT* Unfortunately after they released season 2, I realized that they're missing chunks of episodes!! Season 1 is not finished by far and not all season 2 is released either. What the hell is this? **ORIGINAL** I've been hoping that this show would go digital. This show is one of the all time greatest out there. Hoping that the rest of the series will release as well!
