Freut sich noch jemand auf das DVD-Release von Daria im Mai? Fragt sich natürlich, ob es das auch in Deutschland geben wird. Ich weiß noch nicht mal, ob in Deutschland alle Folgen synchronisiert worden sind. Ich denke jedenfalls, dass ich mir die DVD-Box auf jeden Fall besorgen werde.
MTV's Daria Heads To DVD
The saga of Daria on DVD continues! Yesterday morning we brought you MTV/Paramount's official announcement for Daria - The Complete Animated Series. This long-awaited 8-DVD set, filled with all 65 episodes from the 5 season run, and both telefilms, and extensive bonus material, will arrive at last on May 11th. Late in the afternoon yesterday we updated you with an early look at the cover art for this collection, along with word that this set would be a "great value" at a "low price" (quoting the studio there).
This afternoon Paramount Home Entertainment began circulating finalized package art for this release, in a high-resolution 3D picture that we show you below. As you can see, the key art is exactly what we showed off yesterday afternoon. What's the "low price" going to be? Several of our readers have pointed us toward an Amazon placeholder listing, which doesn't currently have pricing (nor is it accepting pre-orders; right this moment it only says "sign up to be notified when this item becomes available"). However, a DVDEmpire.com pre-order listing has gone live today for this title, where you can lock in a copy of the set right away. DVDEmpire gives a list price of $69.99 SRP, and is currently discounting it to just $49.99 as of this writing (subject to change without notice, at DVDEmpire's discretion).
During the past day, fans have been inquiring about whether or not the original music would all be intact. In a report we passed along last November from The-WildOne.com, it was said that there WILL be music changes on this release. After seeing the finalized cost for the set, we're convinced that the production team couldn't have met that price range without making the indicated musical changes. So, although we don't have definite word from the studio saying "yes" or "no" about music edits, it's certainly something we reasonably expect here. That's going to be our answer to this question, unless the studio tells us otherwise. Still, we are very happy that Daria is making it out at last, and we hope all of you will be too!

Synopsis
Daria centered on a smart, overtly sardonic, and extremely pessimistic upper-middle-class teenage girl, Daria Morgendorffer, dealing with day-to-day life in her American suburban town, Lawndale. Series co-creator Glenn Eichler, in a 2005 interview, gave the otherwise unspecified locale as "a mid-Atlantic suburb, outside somewhere like Baltimore. They could have lived in Pennsylvania near the Main Line, though."[3]
For comedic and illustrative purposes, the show's depiction of suburban American life was a deliberately exaggerated one.[4] Daria's hometown of Lawndale was filled with archetypes, and Daria herself served as the series' observer. In The New York Times, the protagonist was described as "a blend of Dorothy Parker, Fran Lebowitz and Janeane Garofalo, wearing Carrie Donovan's glasses. Daria Morgendorffer, 16 and cursed with a functioning brain, has the misfortune to see high school, her family and her life for exactly what they are and the temerity to comment on it."[5]
ZITATE
TEEN BOY: Where have you girls been all our lives?
DARIA: Waiting for you. We were born in this room. We grew up in this room. And we're going to die in this room, alone.
-------------------------------------
MR. O'NEILL: Right here and now, let’s pledge to make Daria’s dream a reality.
DARIA: You mean the one where people walking down the street burst into flames?
-------------------------------------
JANE: This is a big decision. A defining moment in your life.
DARIA: Oh, good. That is not too much pressure.
JANE: Or possibly just another adolescent embarrassment you'll need to repress in adulthood just to get out of bed in the morning.
-------------------------------------
JANE: Being in a relationship can't possibly hinge on physical intimacy, because that would mean our parents are still doing it.
DARIA: Which is absurd.
JANE: No chance.
DARIA: I join the cirus.
JANE: Right behind you.
DARIA: Thanks for your inside.
JANE: That's what I'm here for.
-----------------------------------
PSYCHOLOGIST Now Dara, let's see if you can make up a picture as vivid as your sister's.
DARIA: It's Daria.
PSYCHOLOGIST: I'm sorry Daria. What do you see in the picture Dara.
DARIA: A heard of beautiful wild ponies running free across the planes.
PSYCHOLOGIST: Uh- there aren't any ponies. It's two people.
DARIA: Last time I took this test they said they were clouds. They said they could be anything I wanted.
PSYCHOLOGIST: That's a different test. In this test they're people and you tell me what they're discussing.
DARIA: It's a guy and girl and they're discussing a heard of beautiful wild ponies running free across the plains.
--------------------------------------
DARIA: Tom and I didn't have sex and we are not going to anytime soon, unless of course a bomb goes off and as earth's last two survivors we must replenish the human race. Although frankly that's not motivation enough for me."
