Shell out $20-30 dollars for a singles release with no extras instead of getting the same experience online for free? Yeah that makes sense  |
Extras seem to depend on the show, as Sentai's releases of Neo Angelique Abyss have a good number of extras to them, and even stuff like Hokuto no Ken Raoh Gaiden had the always cool "Making of" video extra.
Nice way to overgeneralize without making sure it's true beforehand. |
Nice reading comprehension there buddy, you seem to forget that the MAJORITY of their releases don't have extras i.e. notes, trailers etc. And as you clearly stated "extras depend on the show" as someone who knows most of Gintama's dvd releases comes with minimal to no extras

God dammit I hate Sentai Filmworks. I've waited a long time for someone to license and dub Gintama and of all companies they had to license it?!!! If Gintama doesn't get a dub I hope they go bankrupt. Worthless sub only company. Can't they ,just once, dub something?

Count me among the surprised that Asatte no Houkou is showing up over here. I always thought it'd be considered too slow-paced/boring to be marketable. And hey, being able to watch the show in 16:9 instead of the cropped 4:3 broadcast version, and getting subtitles where I don't have to play the "reading the outlines" game are both big pluses. Before anyone asks, I never bothered to DL the DVD-source fansub version. Heard bad things about the sub writing/editing.

Same here, I'd rather have DVD or even just DTV over streaming quality. Not to mention other advantages of DVD subtitles over CR subs, like translated OP/ED, better typesetting (from [ADV] releases, anyway), and none of CR's retarded subtitle line-breaking.
And at least this shows that "streaming on CR" is not equivalent to "never going to come out on R1DVD."

1. Well, in this case, it's a boxset, not singles.
2. Actually, this is the case for plenty of people, myself included. I don't like to watch streaming video unless it's to preview a show. I rather watch it on TV via channels (Anime Network on Demand, Adult Swim, Disney  for the sake of Shippuden) or DVD. That, and it's a lot quicker at 7am to place in a DVD or press a few buttons on the remote than it is to take out my laptop and wait for it to load just to watch one episode of an anime before going to work or school.
I, myself, don't care about extras - as long as the artwork is nice, the show is awesome, and the subtitles are not littered with errors, I'm a very satisfied customer. |
So other words you're too lazy sit on a screen for two minutes and would rather pay for a half-assed product because you can see it on tv, geez...

I'm perfectly fine with a sub-only release since dubbing this monster would be a royal pain in the butt (rumor has it it's twice as funny if you actually speak Japanese/live in Japan).
But, it just got me to wondering... Gintama is PERFECT Adult Swim fodder... and AS just announced that it has three new anime. Could Gintama be one of them? Is Sentai gonna pull a Gurren Lagann and release sub-only box sets for the die hard fans (such as myself) while airing dubbed episodes, with a duel audio release later? THINGS TO THINK ABOUT. |
The only way I can see that happening is if it's the third show released super late (since I'm still predicting February's show is Soul Eater and September's show to be FMA: Brotherhood).

Which can be said about every anime ever made but that sure as hell didn't stop companies from licensing and dubbing them

Considering the sub-only then dual audio release of Gurren Lagann was a disaster and the fact that Sentai sure as hell ain't gonna do something like that given their situation, I don't think so

Actually, being that my laptop can take five minutes or more to load (the joys of memory and ram-clogging graphic programs), I rather not take that time to do so. Especially when, on average, I have a half-hour to eat breakfast and wake up, a half-hour to get ready, and then a half-hour to get to work or school. It's not a matter of being lazy; it's a matter of managing early morning time to balance getting plenty of sleep before heading off and starting my day.
Once again, I also don't like streaming video and really only watch them for previewing a show, like I have done for several titles now sitting on my shelf or on my purchasing list. Again, I don't care about extras; I just care about the artwork (graphic designer flaw, I'm afraid), my enjoyment of the show, and minimal-to-no errors in the subtitles. I love buying the DVDs and watching them compared to watching them on my computer screen.

Not necessarily. Some of us enjoy the satisfaction of collecting hard copies of our favorite shows. And I for one prefer the home theatre experience, rather than watching stuff on my computer. If you just wanna catch something quickly and cheaply, then streaming's a great idea. But for those of us who like to marinate in our fandoms, DVDs are the way to go. It's just a different type of fan. Laziness has nothing to do with it.

Been wanting to check this out, so this will be Netflixed asap.

For Gintama, are Sentai using the Crunchyroll subs, or doing their own translation?
I have no complaint about sub-only releases. It means I get to legitimately own entire series with subtitles and the original Japanese soundtrack, for the same kind of price we used to pay for a mere four episodes. I'd much rather own a DVD than have to rely on streaming video which might not be there when I want to watch that show again!
Hurrah for Sentai, and hurrah for Hidamari Sketchx365. Surprise at Asatte no Houko, which I'll get anyway.

Not really. I watched every single episode of One Piece subbed... That's 434 episodes.
Although a dub might be nice, I'm sure that there are a lot of Gintama fans that would argue there shouldn't be one anyway.

Okay so laziness wasn't the best of words, me personally just want some bang for my buck as oppose to getting the exact same thing I watched three years ago but with nothing of worth included in it, maybe I'll still buy it since I'm such a big fan, but it's sort a disappointing.....

*Stands on feet and Starts to clap*
Dude Win! But someone said something smart. Gintama could come to Adult Swim. It all adds up, Adult Swim will show a New Anime on February 14th the first set comes out April 13th thats about 12 weeks therefore 12 episode and they bring out the first set. That one dude told me Sentai was working on 2 dubs... Gintama is like what 164+ Episodes long + Movies. Will Sentai really release that many Sub-only sets? I talked my smack but if the above happens I will eat my words. (Just this once for now)
Or I can be completely wrong and Sentai can do what Hannish Lightning said.

Uh, there fans who argued about Naruto, Bleach and One Piece being dubbed as well, there's always gonna be two sides of the coin regarding these anyways. I believe Zac stated in one of the ANN podcasts that the series wouldn't work dub because the Japanese cast were so funny and actually took their roles seriously while if the series was dubbed they'll probably try to make it wacky

Of course they're using their own translations, It'll make my point even more sound if they were using Crunchyroll subs

I'm quite glad to see S23 getting the rest of Hidamari Sketch x 365. They just put out the final volume of Tears to Tiara's R1 DVD release the same as the R2 DVD release (http://www.mania.com/aodvb/showthread.php?t=98006), so I look forward to a similarly speedy release for the currently airing third season of Hidamari Sketch.
It's also promising to see S23 getting another CrunchyRoll show in Gintama. I don't want to see CR just becoming a "licensing ghetto," for shows studios don't think will be profitable on R1 DVD. "CR Simulcast to R1 DVD" is a much healthier life cycle than "languish forever on streaming sites."
