Consider this to be a spiritual successor to Stiivun's Funimation thread, and since some of the users wanted similar threads for other companies I figured I'll hop in for the Aniplex one.
Aniplex of America is a company that have released quality products at controversial prices. Many people hate them, but others like them. It all depends on whether the customer is willing to spend that much for these titles. The company started off with a strange line-up of Baccano!, Oreimo, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, R.O.D. (Read or Die) and Rurouni Kenshin OVA/Film Imports. All of which did really well for them and as time passes, more and more Aniplex titles have been picked up and released in similar fashion, though recent titles are not as packaged well in contrast to the ones released in 2013.
As of Summer 2015, Aniplex of America are no longer bound to just Aniplex-related titles as they have now licensed a non-Aniplex title; GOD EATER.
This thread will pretty much be both a discussion on the company's titles as well as a guide for those who want to pickup their titles. The spreadsheet below will also include Aniplex of Japan products that contain English subtitles that were once released by AoA themselves.
