While I can kind of understand what you mean...that's no reason to be MAD that a series is being re-released. The re-release of Utena has the best picture I've EVER seen for this series, and the amazingly detailed booklets that were published with each set are a wealth of information on the making of the series. Plus, younger anime fans will now be exposed to the series, breathing some new life into the fandom. I love that!

Back in the day, ALL anime box sets were expensive...before DVDs came out, entire sets of VHS tapes for one season of say, Ranma 1/2 for example, was almost $300. Technology's gonna advance, we're gonna get media being released and re-released in different formats. Hell, I still have old LDs and VHS tapes of older stuff.
But I'm GLAD that the prices are cheaper now. It saves me money and space! And I never feel bad for buying expensive sets in the past because 1. I was supporting a series I loved and 2. I was supporting the anime industry in America. (It's kinda funny to me now to see series I bought years ago now on 2 discs for like $20, though.)

My sisters and I bought Cowboy Bebop one VHS at a time (2 episodes per tape) in 2000-01, from the only physical store around that sold anime. Then about halfway through getting the tapes, our parents bought a DVD player! Back then DVDs were more expensive than VHS so we still got a few more tapes, but then we got the last two DVDs with the end of the series.

Oh wow, suddenly memories of spending 2 years saving up for the first Ranma VHS boxset (dubbed). And then a few years later, getting the latest Viz catalogue advertising the DVD sets that were not only considerably cheaper, but had both languages as well.

I still have no regrets. Whenever I start to feel like I don't want to spend $60 on a complete-series DVD set, I walk out to the hallway where I have that Ranma set and look at it and remember that my middle-school self had the willpower to save her allowance for years to buy ONE series, so why the hell can't my adult-with-a-job self bare to spend a fraction of the amount she did on an equivalent amount of anime? It's usually enough motivation to get me to buy that $60 set.

And in fact, I think I will use the $100 Amazon card I got for Christmas to buy a Ranma DVD set or two. I owe it to my past self.

omg wasnt that ranma thing almost $200 a season??????????

It's not like a new complete print, LIKE EVERY ANIME THESE DAYS.

BUY INDIVIDUAL - ALL DONE - HERES A BOXSET LOL
FINISH THE SERIES ALL SEASONS, MORE COMPLETE BOX SET

IM LOOKING AT YOU, FULL METAL ALCHEMIST...

I don't even wanna think about how prices have changed, UGH.
