Why oh WHY did we have to be right about this one...? >.<
No dubs, no extra time spent on a release. No extras, no nothing.
Oh, wait. We might get extras like... some of the 'promotional' shit they do for releases in Japan. -.- Seriously, have you SEEN some of the 'promotional' shit they do (my Simoun 'extras,' let me show them you... -.- )?? I'd rather not have things like that, than have them tacked on as 'extras.'
And guess what else? So they use these overpriced, early-to-market releases to 'gauge the interest' in shows. If Shigofumi got a good enough reception, maybe, maybe a studio would say 'Okay, let's dub this show, put together some extras, put more episodes on a disc, and release them that way for a full release.'
No way in -Hell- are they going to get the RoI they're looking for, so the series is doomed to overpriced releases, and maybe, MAYBE a collected box at a reasonable price, in 3-4 years from now when they look to make a little more money off the title (yes Blue Sub, I'm looking at you).
Dammit Bandai. Release these 'early' 2-eps discs for $25, and then maybe we'll talk. C'mon, you should be able to scrape a good onough profit from $25 for a DVD you simply take the Japanese release image, slap a subtitle track on, and call it good. >.
