I swear Echo Bridge should have just stuck to releasing public domain titles and not bought Dimension and Miramax, that was horrendous. |

This was a great read.
And yeah, it now has to be GITS SAC among the worst.
This. It hurts extra bad since it is this show of all shows. It's insane enough how bad they screwed up the actual problems on the discs, but to do it on one of the most prominent and enduring shows for the US anime market as well and one of the big gateway shows. Man it really sucks. Hell, with the audio even doing the switching right from the start in the first damned episode it's even hard to show some new people the show through the set if you wanted to.

Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, I've heard sometimes film and sound tracks deteriorate if not stored properly, and I also heard at the time Toei didn't want to re-release remastered footage outside of Japan. |

Hoping for a restock of them one day, they seem to have sold out quite a few time and they months later got a reprint so I'm hoping that happens at least one more time. |

Several of the early DVD releases from Siren Visual Entertainment in Australia were really bad:
The first two DVD releases of Battle of the Planets were missing the English subtitles for the bonus Gatchaman episodes (eventually fixed). The DVD release of Tenamonya Voyagers offered Japanese audio, but no English subtitles at all. The DVD releases of Vandread were missing many of the English subtitles, worse the re-releases switched the video to anamorphic widescreen, but still failed to fix the missing English subtitles! I find the worst are the more recent Blu-ray/DVD releases, that are actually worse than the older DVD releases. I never expected the first season of Hayate the Combat Butler to be re-released as the censored version only, and ended up having to re-buy the older DVD releases again. |

Remembered another wierd low budget effort. A company I've never heard of before or since released The World of Narue in the UK for the first and only time, on a couple of low bitrate, dub-only DVDs in a cardboard sleeve. At least it was cheap.
Actually, no. Toradora was used to showcase a new upscaling technique Sony developed.
In an effort to get the next Akira before anyone else, Manga pumped money into GitS, doubling the overall budget and almosr bankrupting themselves. They own the English rights in perpetuity. |
