Valid points. With regular blu-ray, I'm ambivalent about what Discotek does. Their encoding tends to be ok, but it could certainly be better if they didn't try to cram so much data onto a single disc, putting twelve episodes on a single disc instead of the 6-8 that Crunchyroll or others do. Old...

I'd be ok as a choice, but as I hate steelbooks that would just guarantee I'd never buy another CE, though I generally don't anyway so I suppose I'm complaining about nothing. 😄

I wondered about that but didn't know if it was the case. That definitely makes it worth it because all DVD subtitles I've seen are huge and also pretty unattractive where they tend to kind of spoil the experience for me.

Not quite 3 years for me; I bought it November 2023 and haven't watched it. My understanding is SD-BD should look better due to better compression quality; if that's true I'd be willing to get this. If I do, it'll be the first Discotek release I've bought in a very long time since most of what...

Hah! When I saw your post I was wondering why you didn't buy the Japanese version instead. I should have known... 😄

It was the Sony-owned Funimation, who were more of a home media company than a streaming one, that bought Crunchyroll. But in changing the name to the latter, it really does seem like they're behaving far more like it was the other way round in who was the buyer and who got bought. In the US...

May is almost over and still no announcements from Crunchyroll UK, so June is going to be another month with zero disc releases from them. :(

You and I Are Polar Opposites S2 trailer:

Oh that's interesting; I didn't realize it was out of print and considered rare. But as I wrote above I also didn't realize the second release was five years ago. The first version was dual format so if anyone specifically wants a DVD for some reason that's the only one with that.

Ok I have to laugh a bit at this one: This is the third version of Girls Und Panzer: This is the Real Anzio Battle! that Sentai has released. That isn't unusual for them, but they usually get completely different cover art, but that isn't the case here. this one looks almost exactly the same as...

Just be very sure of this before doing it. I've never done that on any large scale but long ago did it in some smaller sense a few times, and sometimes came to regret it later.

With Crunchyroll's diminished release slates I'm amazed at the Dragon Maid movie getting a release--even when Crunchyroll and previously Funimation had large slates, far too often movies connected to TV series never got home video releases, Date A Live Mayuri Judgment being one notable example...

It's always funny how those who proudly pirate think that just any day now everyone else will join them. :rolleyes:

Hate steelbooks, and hence hate this trend of releasing particular things as only steelbooks. It's fine as long as there's a regular case version too but when it's the only choice it sucks.

Yuji Ohno has passed away. :(
