Sure do, but I'm certain we're talking about way less money than paying for a dub (FMP TSR has never been dubbed in french) + authoring 7 blu-rays.

My reasoning for disliking FMP UE was a multitude things and of course price was a factor. I have no issues about spending a high price to receive a premium product but with FMP UE i just didnt feel satisfied with what i had got for the money (all of which is laid out in the article i wrote on AnimeBlurayUK).
To clarify I wasn't looking for the 'perfect product' i just didn't like the product as i had expected (and im not referring to the episode content itself) and i don't believe it warrants the high price point of the £150 RRP. At £90 i paid at MCM Comic Con i am contempt with it; but considering i like the packaging and presentation style of the american releases - and the fact it uses the exact same disc masters as those used in america - i can't help but feel disatisfied; heck someone recently showed me the French Ultimate Edition (half the cost) and it looks amazing!
Like i said; just speaking out my thoughts about the set

Buzzkillington said:I was also somewhat surprised when I saw just how much better the £35 French version was than ours (of course this is the price now, I assume it was more when it came out), particularly in the art work used department. I've been pretty disappointed with the Ultimate Editions in general and Full Metal Panic was the last chance to win me over but at this point I'm not even sure that I want it (how much nicer the French version is isn't the reason though), I understand you can only work with what you're given, but I'm pretty close to canceling my order and just getting the US sets.

Id prefer a cheap digioack for £40 than Amarays for £90 that look cheaper imo even if there in a "nice box"
So our sets SRP is over 3 times as much....SpaceDandy said:French boxset SRP is 48£.
It's funny as this was a question I was gonna ask next time Jeremy was looking for podcast questions, like why is some artwork available to some countries and not others, what factors determine who can use what. This was mainly something I was wondering after seeing the Italian Gundam sets, which have much nicer artwork in my opinion, (in fact, they're just nicer all round) but I guess that's all subjective really. It's a shame you didn't have access to the art used on the French digipacks though, it's just so much nicer in my opinion, our FMP looks pretty bland in comparison.anime_andrew said:The artwork used one is an interesting point - I can tell you now some of the elements used there in terms of actual artwork was not provided to us and on the contrary was told to be unavailable actually - which may be a shift in policy as there was a decent gap between their release and ours for example.

thedoctor2016 said:This reminds me of comments on Amazon.fr about AoT from ATA where, people were complaining that €40 was too much for 12 episodes they should come to the UK then. As I thought for the set and it being BD and DVD it was worth it, I'm still planning to get it thats why I hope AL get AOT season 2 here.
Tind said:Hey!
What happened to SAO 2 part 2 LE? Has it been delayed?

Don't complain, at least you guys had chapters.thedoctor2016 said:But our chapters skip past the start of the Ep, past the next episode preview. The chapter are the worst part of my least fav product of anime I own as I love AoT it deserved better.
andrew said:3. French "Ultimate": It's interesting this one comes up, because long before I started working on our one I bought a copy to analyse and critically speaking it's one of the weakest collector's edition products that the French company in question has ever done (they have made a tonne of really awe-inspiring releases too, so that one was a disappointment to me vs packshot).
