Bloody hell, its DVD only eh.... Although if it sold out in Japan already, whats the "reverse importation" fear here.

Totally agree. KnK is sold out over there. They should give us another BD release.

Either way holding out for another BD release of KnK

He/she gave a possible reason why R1 was not given a reasonably priced BD version. Whether you believe it's a reason that's true is another matter, but it is within the realm of possibility.

I have no idea what point you're making here.

I'm not arguing over whether his point is true. His point is completely meaningless even if it is true. Aniplex America is just a sub-branch of Aniplex. It is all essentially the same company. Hence, shifting the blame from one part of Aniplex to another really doesn't change anything.

You posed a question, he gave an answer that makes sense and you say it's an absurd reason. I just wanted to say the reason given was not absurd.

How does shifting the blame from one part of Aniplex to another not change anything? The simple fact is that it's highly likely it's the Japanese fault for why R1 never got and never will get a reasonably priced BD set.

The dilemma I will be faced with is, do I pick up the DVD release only to be confronted with a BD re-release some time later down the road?

Charred Knight already addressed this quite well. Whether it was Aniplex America's decision or Aniplex Japan, they're all part of the same company essentially. America/Japan...the distinction is meaningless here.

Well that's just being pedantic. No, it is not "absurd" as an answer to the question: "Why didn't Aniplex USA release a cheap BD?" What I said though was that it is absurd to use that as an excuse to defend Aniplex from criticism which was the point at hand.

Agreed. What's more, this whole situation creates an awful paradox for fans.

On the one hand, by supporting this DVD release I feel like I'm encouraging Aniplex to treat its (vaguely) budget conscious fans poorly and give us a second rate product. I don't want them to think that's okay and that we'll just happily take whatever we can get. At the same time though, if people don't support this release, Aniplex may well use that as an excuse to not bother releasing reasonably priced versions of shows at all. It is a bit of a no win situation.

The only way your statement would be right is if AUSA had any more influence over Aniplex than another licensee would, which I highly doubt

Oh man...that was good. The funniest butthurts are the ones where they try way too hard to be all super serious and formal.

Given that Aniplex USA is actually a directly owned subsidiary of Aniplex Japan...I cannot even imagine why you would "highly doubt" this.

It is blatantly obvious what you're trying to do here and it won't work. You can throw as much shit around as you like. It won't hide the fact that you are unable to back up your opinions with reason.

Playing the subjectivity card here really only favours me.

Whether you want to call that being forced is pretty meaningless.

I agree that it favors you and I'm complaining with you.

It might be purely about semantics, but I wouldn't say that makes it meaningless to mention.

you just don't get it do you? can't see the forest for the trees. You're oblivious to your hypocrisy. And you talk of backing up opinions with reason? you insult other forum users, get told to stop being an Ass even by a moderator no less, and yet you insist upon logic and reason. wow. get over yourself already.
