They have biiig issues there involving DVD markets and how basically they can charge whatever they like because there's no competition and people will still buy it (big fans or regular fans).
Uh huh. I used to work in a Japanese anime dvd/manga shop (it was legit merch, no worries!) and we actually had some Japanese customers buy the DVDs from us because the American distribution versions were way, way cheaper than in Japan and actually had extras on it. X)
Hee, I actually double-checked the pricing on Amazon JP (Amazon.com won't ship to Japan and vice-versa) and ... it's only a 1000-1500 yen difference per DVD. ._. Prices seem the worst for newer series (one series I checked was 'Blassreiter' which premiered in late 2009 - single DVD is like 4800 Yen or like $54), while older ones (like, 5 years old) are closer to standard US pricing for new DVDs.
