That's correct thanks for information. Though I was trying to refer to both Madman and Hanabee for many of their titles with low quality BDs releases. However I haven't owned any of their newer products so maybe they've improved their production effort?
MVM didnt really do collectors editions back when Bake was first released. And maybe it felt like too big a commitment for them. By the time Kizu came out they knew it would sell really well so wasn't a risk to make that trilogy CEs
If I had to take a guess, I'd put my money on it being because AoA already do that, in in our global world where people import what they want (have you seen how ecstatic Japanese fans writing reviews on Amazon are that they can get Konosuba from AL for what, probably 1/50 of the price they'd have to pay for local releases?) all the megafans probably just import those already, so MVM are going for a more mass-market approach. It's good to have the choice. I'm interested in Monogatari but would never even consider paying AoA prices for it. It's also possible (given what licence agreements can be like) MVM would be forced to charge AoA prices if they wanted to do something similar.
This is how the Aniplex release was, so we had to follow suit. In regards to no description on the back - again that's how the US release was - as this was released in a CE set in the US, the synopsis was on the back of the outer CE.Me
It's a bit odd how there's no description or anything on the back either, but I do appreciate the extra artwork.
came out in December, i think 6-8 months is generally the length of time it takes to pop up on these deals
Yeah MVM have hinted quite a few times that the DOTW doesn't really represent how well a series sold. I like to think they leave it to a random number generator lol
