Death Scythe
They say it's bad practice to badmouth other folks and usually it's also not the point on stressing how much worse others are. But on the hand worth ultimately exists through a big part by constrast and I still feel like leaving this here, because I totally got a renewed appreciation there.
Care for a total diffrent experience?
I just received the German "High Speed Free Starting Days". It's a digipack in non-rigid sideways slipcover of 9mm thickness. It's having a similiar issue like Your Lie in April p1 as in that the outer box is slightly too small causing the inner digipack part to be very hard to remove. And in this case impossible sounds much more adequate of an description.
I had been warned before by a pal that he had to rip apart the whole thing to get to the disc, which, most importantly, wasn't even his first case, albeit by far the worst. But even when you know it and/or are mega careful anyway and even like cut off all your nails as short as you can, you will scrub off the outer print layer of the cardbox. (Just look at this unboxing video, it's painful just to watch!)
They were always very thin and fragile, very prone to deformation (like this) and bumbs, scratches and pressure marks, but this one sure shoot the bird down.
That's just the tip of the iceberg, as, among other things, peeling off rating logo stickers regularly damages the items and their absolutly obnoxious printed on movie-screening-convention-advertise disguised as a pseudo award winning batch. Just image AL stay calling their screenings on selected cinemas a festival and slamming it as a non removable badge onto all their movie releases.
The movie came out last year, so enough time for any reaction to emmerge. I checked around quickly, but found nothing, so obviously that one movie is not a case for anything remotely like a replacement scheme and from the looks of it, most issues are just totally common pratice and folks got used to it with a sigh. As suprisingly many have language issues including a lack of enough knowledge of English, they don't even stand a chance for alternatives. Many just shut up having in mind that the Anime market was virtually dead here just a couple of years ago and pump in money just "to support the industry".
(Yes I know comparisons across territories even stand less of a chance of being appropriate, but still. I see no legitimate excuse for all of these ergonomic design disasters.)
There already were cheers, but really, I feel a need of another stress of how cool the handing pf Your Lie in April was. (And just how nice the package design is in the first place.) Part 1 was hard to remove. But even with that "damage" it wasn't actually totally impossible to remove, you could still do that with a bit of patient heavy shaking over a pillow and without damaging the whole thing. And they didn't just try to silence it over not found any excuses, but just replaced the whole thing no questions asked.
