whoah, where do you live, remind me to steer clear. (probably full of chavs, talkin' like dis)Curry Man said:
When a movie with a large budget employs British accents (or severely limits US ones), I actually rejoice. Lord of The Rings and Gladiator are the biggest examples that come to mind. Proof that British accents are far from crappy. (and I might add that these films aren't set in Britain, refuting those of you who wish to confine the British accent to a British setting)
P.S. Woo! Taff Wars! May the Leek be with you?

Thats a pretty interesting article.
i finally get a clear idea on how much the BBFC charge the publishers, studios etc, for classifying the age for each episode and might i add....its bloody expensive.
what i would be happy with, is if the uk releases have more episodes per release, and premiuim items like the folks in the US and Japan get all at a reasonable price.

5 volumes for a 13 episode series? I have Japanese releases of 13 episodes spread over 7 volumes. (1 volume with 1 episode and 6 volumes with 2 episodes.) 4 volumes is one of the popular (ie largely used) US models, releasing 4 episodes on the first volume and 3 episodes on the remaining three volumes.ryuzaki said:

i know that. but what i said was premium items, as in extra items packed in with the dvd when you purchase, such as a soundtrack CD for example.

Thats the first pressings only; they usually sell out pretty fast(for most popular shows).

For people who feel sorry for the Japaneses who pay more for their anime dvd's they do pay considerably less for their manga.
For example something like berserk manga to import over from the USA would cost at a discount price of £5.50 The Japaneses pay with no discount £2.50 a book.
To be fair manga is way bigger than anime industry, a lot manga of volumes sell close or over 1 million each. Volume 25 of ONE PIECE sold a record of 2,630,000 for the first print alone.

yeah. nonetheless i would like to see more limited edition items bundled with some of the releases we get. it would be a nice incentive for the late release schedule the UK market has also it would be a way to make more fans purchase UK anime products instead of imports.
for example, that gundam seed boxset Beez announced seems very interesting, but that price is a bit steep. still i may have to purchase it
if they cant do that then at least...more episodes or discs per release

I wouldn't import if they actually licensed worthwhile series over here, like Please Teacher. The types of anime that they have special offers on don't interest me.

A very simple and no effort way of getting people to not import is also to just announce series they are acquiring or even looking at as soon as possible. If people think there is a series not coming out in england they might import it but then it could be acquired not too long after but announced too late for them to change there mind.
