I only really keep up with Naruto, and that's mainly cause I'm DIRT poor, and it's on TV, and for those times when i do have a chunk of money to blow, the box sets/manga are cheap. I can get it legally, without any fuss and muss. I'm looking into renting a few things cause I have a local anime rental store (Which I know is a luxury a lot don't have) I keep up with a few more manga, but since manga is like...$10 every few months, it's not a big deal.

What's so wrong with Viz? I've heard a lot of negative about them, and I know their old stuff sucks balls...but then again most everything from back then does. I only really keep up with Naruto which is pretty descent. What do they do wrong?

Right now my only issue with Viz media is price-per-episode individual DVDs, but that opinion could (and hopefully will) change when I see a Bleach box set. Haven't seen one yet, so I'm waiting. Right now $5.00-$6.00 per 24-minute episode is just too steep, and I do want to eventually purchase the first 64 episodes. On the other hand, I can see the point in selling the individual DVDs (for those who don't want the whole series), but the individual DVD price needs to come down a bit, IMO.

Of course I could argue on the downloaders' sake and say, why pay anything? And that's what companies need to keep in mind. Some people will always download and never buy. But some of them might buy, and some others would buy MORE, if they dropped the price tag a bit. :)

Yeah some people will always find a way to get it for free. Even if they got rid of Downloading, there's ALWAYS a way.

5-6 seems pretty step for a 30 minutes episode. My Invader Zim ones were $1.99, I could even see 3, but especially for something you can get free every saturday night on Cartoon network....

Exactly. If people can see it for free on CN, it makes no business sense at all to charge so much per episode in DVD form. I hope they'll figure that out and make changes for everyone's sake.

I really never saw the point of per episode DVD sales...ever. At least in Invader Zim or other if you have one episode like...theplot begins and ends in that episode.

What would you do with all of them D:

I meant in terms of division: i.e. one DVD with 4 episodes costs $20-$24. The only point I could see would be if you had just a few favorite episodes here and there that you would want to keep a long time, but the whole series was not important to you. (Like with Bleach, the Bounto arc I think sucked overall, and I won't buy it, but there are a few episodes I'd be willing to buy on separate DVD because they make me LOL.)

Ahahaa, yeah, I've run out of shelf space before, so I've had to part with some things. Thankfully my local store offers good money on used DVDS. ^^

SLIM DVD ARE THE MOST AMAZING THING ANIME COMPANIES EVER CAUGHT ON TO.

They might make it cheaper then, because like...the Naruto box sets are fairly affordable (And I'm a cheeeeeeap ass) and it's the same company and similar fan base. I'm guessing the only reason it hasn't is because you don't have the divide in bleach fans that you do in Naruto (The kids who will lap up anything they can put in the DVD player, and the big kids who want to see Konoha's face in tsunade's tits. IDK)

Hee. ^^ But didn't the Naruto dub begin airing in the US like, a year before Bleach? So you're right; the sets will likely come out eventually. CN hasn't even finished airing the entire first Bleach arc yet. :D They're still on episode 50-something.

Yep, and the box sets are...realtively new (With in the last year I think) so I'm sure they'll come.

Here's hoping! I got my poor, bruised bank account expecting a hit. ^_^

And if the secret-maker is still reading (LOL), maybe this is a point to consider = TIME. Don't expect people to pay stupid prices NOW when they could get things more reasonably a year from now. Trust me, I've done that, and kicked myself for it repeatedly.

Yeah but a lot of people just...don't. I'm with you, I don't have Naruto for that exctae reason (Some day...just not today. Tho I better hurry up withParakiss or they'll all be gone D:)

I still kick myself for buying all of Fruits Basket and Wolf's Rain one DVD at a time rather than waiting. I could have saved at least $75 overall. ); But eh, I had money back then...

Ok I am going to stop completely spamming your inbox and go to bed now! lol. I wish everyone I debated/conversed with on the internet was as nice as you. :D

Oy specially with Fruba! I did the same thing.

:D anytime hun! I can be pretty OMG GAH KEYBOARD SMASH at first, but the second I see there's real discussion....it's much better the keyboard mashing! :D
