All of these long quotes and posts aside....
All I know is that Red Garden is the first anime series I started to buy after watching the first episode on Anime Network's AOD service when the one episode was the only one available. Now that they pulled this crap with the final volume, I think I'll just stick with fansubs now... |

Apparently, you neglected to read the one post that matters.

Ah, thank you for that. I kinda stopped reading the posts at page 8 for...well, for obvious reasons, I guess. |

MokonaModoki, thank you for the fascinating explanation of the whole ADV/Sojitz issue. There were things in there that I think I remember hearing about, but much information that was completely new to me. I'd also be fascinated to learn what that hinted at title at the end of your post is...
Also, thank you for your much more eloquent clarification than I could manage for CCS about why a collector would still be angry about not being able to finish a box set with single DVDs. |

I don't even think about what I have invested in my collection of over 2100 anime dvds & 2300 volumes of manga, not to mention the artbooks from Japan (uncounted, but has to be at least 100-200). No. I'm not a collector. I haven't had titles left unfinished. Remember, I was/am a supporter of Bandai Visual. I take the "Whatever, if it gets me the title I want" approach to anime. And I have never downloaded, so that's not part of the "whatever" We were smack in the middle of Haruka & SRW when BV was folded into Bandai. Yes, I did worry I wasn't going to see the end of yet another series. We probably will never, ever know what happened between Sojitz & ADV. It's pretty suspicious ADV laid employees off, killed Newtype USA, etc. about that time, but it's all speculation they might have been having a cash-flow problem. All one can assume is whatever happened was legal or ADV would have squaked when Sojitz took the titles to another buyer.
I thought a lot of people who post here are young. You'd be surprised. Most of my clients are people who made a mistake anyone here could make. Drunk Driving. Drug use. Hanging with friends who wind up doing something stupid. However, the problem is a lot of them just take longer to learn than others & keep making those mistakes. Blame others for their problems. But it's moot. Funi responded in a positive manner. But it was their decision & everyone here should be very grateful for that decision. |

Wow, that's pretty interesting that they actually made an account here just to post in this thread, you don't see that everyday.

Actually, we do see that a lot here. EDIT: Locking for redundancy and to prevent further misunderstandings. Topic continues here: Funimation to ship single volumes for ADV titles ~Zalis] (edit made to this post to avoid bumping the thread) |
