The GitS film has been unavailable on DVD/BD for long time, too. Maybe it never even saw a BD release Stateside? What is available currently is "Ghost in the Shell 2.0" which replaced a bunch of the hand-drawn animation with bad CGI for some reason.

At least with GitS, the Japanese release is still readily available and also has English subs
if you don't have enough lands to do anything you have made a bad deck
Or you should've mulliganed better.

Sometimes you mulligan seven consecutive hands of nothing but lands and then end up only drawing the top end of your curve. It's very unlikely, but it's entirely possible for all of your lands to be trapped in the bottom third of your library. Usually you lose before being able to confirm that, though. (Or you're playing that one gimmicky Lost in the Woods deck from Innistrad Limited, in which case you have the opposite problem of having LitW live up to its name.)
Being mana screwed/flooded is something that all MtG players can emphasize with, though.
New girl and classmate meet and end up tailing class rep to her part time job at the flgs they are amazed at all the games. Owner offers to play with them so they sit down and play:

The Strawhats just entered the Grand Line in chapter 100
Have they been in the Grand Line for eight hundred and fifty chapters
no absolutely not
one piece planet is very large
It took Magellan's crew 3 years to circumnavigate the globe, and that was without stopping at every single island along the way / taking a 2 year detour.
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
Yeah the grandline to redline change is where it stops making sense in my head. I just dont question it anymore
It's not a change? See above (terrible perspective) map. Red line is basically the only continent, which for whatever reason is a great circle of ridiculous mountains orthogonal to the grand line. It's the halfway point and the timeskip happened with the story reached it. That said, yeah - you don't have to worry about it much. Islands in one piece are basically whatever and wherever the plot needs them to be.
Grand line is the equator, separated from the four oceans by the Calm Belts full of monsters and bullshit.
Red Line is a continent that encircles the entire globe along the prime meridian. It intersects the Grand Line at Reverse Mountain on one side of the planet and the Holy Land Marijoa on the opposite side, creating the 'entrance' and 'halfway point' of the grand line.
These two lines separate the four oceans, which are named (somewhat arbitrarily) after the four cardinal directions.
That map is nearly incomprehensible because so much of what's labelled is on the part of the Grand Line that's on the back of the globe.
The redline is perpendicular to the grand line. All four oceans empty into the entrance to the southeastern side of the grand line, one way only. Since both the grand line (can only pass through and not cross) and the red line (cannot pass through or cross) wrap all the way around the globe, the grand line intersects the red line at the four blue entrance and 180 degrees later, where there is no entrance and the grand line has to pass under the red line.
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
Yeah that's a pretty terrible way to visualize the grand line.
I would assume the original was made when they'd only been to East Blue and the early islands of the Grand Line, since all of that would be front and center and easily visible.
Continuing to update that version became a terrible idea as soon as they went around the back.
If I remember right it's not mainly that the calm belts are filled with monsters that makes them total death traps (even though they are) but that they generally have no consistent wind. So much like many parts of the Pacific if you don't know exactly what you're doing you'll die stranded in the ocean.
Japanese titles have always been kind of obnoxious ...for example:
Choujikuu Yousai Macross Ai Oboete Imasuka (Super Dimension Fortress Macross Do you Rememeber love?)
Koukaku Kidoutai The Ghost in the shell (Mobile Armor Riot Police The Ghost in The Shell)
Of course, no one ever uses the whole title, and I've always found the supertitle to be a bit of textual flowering.
However, light novel name thing I am finding endlessly amusing. Mainly because this kind of "title marketing" actually comes from another Japanese media where it is MASSIVELY used. Normally, when you have huge titles like this, there is often a phrase within it that is rendered differently. (Sometimes a different color or different font). You can most often use that as the shorthand title. However, this does make the "actual" title a little boring. Stripped of it's wreath of superfluous words, you wind up with titles like "She Stared at Him" or "The Other World", or even "That Girl". The titles are so long because no one is bothering to read the dust cover synopsis anymore...
Like I said, this title thing is being aped from another Japanese media (which as been doing it FOREVER) for exactly the same reason. No one really bothers to read the synopsis...
This titling style comes from Japanese adult videos. Same exact system too. Highlight the core thesis in a particular font, and then flower the context around it... be it as it may.
I'm not sure that light novels are going to stop doing it. It's just too convenient. In Japanese you can "eyecatch" the highlighted core phrase "shape" and know it's the title you are looking for. However, it must be a right pain in the rear to translate
KO NO SU BA
I think basically the answer to translating one aspect of it has been to just not translate it. The vast majority of these titles just turn into portmanteaus that are not inherently meaningful, it's that they make for entertaining neologisms that are also phonetically entertaining to riff on.
konosubaaaaaaaaaa
(I have literally never watched an entire episode of konosuba but somehow i know about these different ways they say the titles)
The "title is literally the entire premise spelled out very literally" is something that works when translated in a fairly direct fashion, so keeping the entirely untranslated portmanteau name together with the literally translated complete name winds up working out ok as a compromise, even though it's clearly far from perfect.
...W..T...F...
The weakest to worlds strongest anime got a second season.
Apparently there is now a way to get a second season by making your anime such a train wreck that people watch it just for the jaw droppingly awfulness of the plot and effects.
Last weeks episode made me say Overlord season three had damn good CGI.

Are the DVDs that rare?
I should have clarified I meant streaming in particular I guess. There are more options otherwise, though yeah, SAC in particular had some issues

I like how in Shirow's work, even the mooks get a fair chance. Appleseed in particular is about eswat as much as it is Bri and Deunan.

I dunno my hand has 2 lands in it and I just drew nothing but bullshit afterwards.
2/7 mana sources is something you toss back on sight in 90% of cases. Not hitting your third land drop is death.

Save that and toss it into https://www.maptoglobe.com for probably the best way of looking at it.
New World doesn't count as "not the Grand Line".
Yeah. It’s just the two halves of the grand line. “Paradise” and “New World” are nicknames for the two halves.
