Am I the only one who believes that there is something wrong with this trend?
QTFA: The first six English-subbed Bandai Visual DVDs of this series will start shipping on May 13 for US$39.99 with two episodes each; the seventh and last DVD will have one episode for US$29.99.
My friends (for those that care), we're looking at the future of R1 Anime distribution. The sub only version that people have bitched about for years with no frills, no extra content, no liner notes, no commentary, no nothing. Released quickly, only months after they're released in Japan with an artificially inflated price to stop reverse importing.
This industry, like Geneon, is going down in a pit of flames because it is what you all wanted.
I hope you're all happy, I'm going to try to be less bitter.
