| Aight, I give up on trying to get this into the news discussion. I know why it was rejected the first time, that was my bad. I don't get the second time, though. The only posting rule I could figure that would be 'broken' by that is the first one, but to avoid doing that I made it into a quotation. I suppose I should've written something like "Full Article" instead of Source? Well anyways, Shigofumi along with True Tears have been licensed by Bandai Visual USA. Both series just started broadcasting in Japan in the first week of January, and Bandai Visual USA says that their North American DVD releases will follow their Japanese DVD releases by only two months. Source: ANN. |

I'm not an economics major but why would the price go up if you are getting less? I think the dubless anime is a good idea but that doesn't make sense. I just hope that they produce the DVD of Shigofumi quickly, I'd like to own it already. |

| Yes indeed, $269,93 is rather expensive even for 7 DVD's. They should at least release them with 4 episodes on each imo. Then the $39.99 would be more reasonable. maxcherry715 said: I just hope that they produce the DVD of Shigofumi quickly, I'd like to own it already. It's not that long til May though, so we get the first one rather fast. :D |
| Impressive, but I don't like what I'm hearing about prices... |
Sobzob said: Well anyways, Shigofumi along with True Tears have been licensed by Bandai Visual USA. That's all very well and fine, but have you seen how Bandai is trying to rip off the consumer? Both series are 13 episodes, yet are going to be released on 7 DVDS! 2 episodes on a DVD?? Come on! That's a rip off, plain and simple, taking into account each costs over $20. I hope consumers wise up and vote with their wallets - by keeping them firmly closed. No wonder R1 is so messed up. They want to ban fansubs, then pull stunts like this, geared only to line their pockets as much as possible - and with typicaly poor Bandai pachaging too boot. I seriously hope Bandai end up going the way of Geneon and (maybe) ADV. We don't need people like them exploiting the market. ok, rant over. |

| Noes! 2 Episodes / DvD = phail Price = phail Possible funky Dub = phail The 2 episodes per DvD is only understandable if they had only saw the 1st two episodes and think that the plot will go on 2 Episodes per "letter". |

I hope consumers wise up and vote with their wallets - by keeping them firmly closed. Maybe they're trying to copy Japan with the 2 episodes on a DVD and awfully high prizes. In no time we'll see all anime DVD's with these prizes, and they'll still be selling like mad! |
| Wonder who will stop subbing this one then. =/ |

| Shigofumi was awesome too. I wouldn't mind buying the show but the price is too steep (more steep than Blood +). I applaud speed releases but man... |

I suppose that would stop reverse imports into Japan if they were released cheaply in the US, but we're not in Japan, so to apply a Japanese business model is already dooming it to failure, plus if I do a quick currency conversion - it works out cheaper for me to a buy a Wii here than one of the 13 episode series. |

| Yay for quick licenses. Nay for Japanese style releases. |
 |
| It's a good thing I don't have to worry too much about the prices. Yay for online rental sites! |
 |
| u ra sa nai...anyway.. that sickened me... I'm just glad the fansub I was watching it on hasn't decided to drop it... |
| thats gay i wish that other companies would bash them in the head with an axe before they license up all the good anime. |
