I have mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, it's great that it is two cours. On the other hand, this means it won't be on Netflix outside Japan until early next year. I'm sure it will be worth the wait from what I heard from those who decided not to wait for Netflix but the wait will probably hurt.

I think the Fate series would do better as a whole if it weren't Aniplex handling everything after the original series and the original Fate/Unlimited movie.

I certainly couldn't afford everything on streetdate!

As much as I hate to hear people bitch about prices, there ARE shows that are well overpriced... That's my opinion, too, and that's after having lived through the birth of the US domestic market in the early 1990s.

Anime TV shows MAY be generally cheaper (if they're a Funimation or Viz release; you just can't find the other companies video releases in stores anymore) but it's still an expensive hobby.

Anime in general is probably the most overpriced section in home video. Only Disney (among the Hollywood studios) comes close to price-gouging as anime releases and even they've finally knocked down prices on the older, frills-free Blu ray releases of their classic animated features. For a while, you COULD get some of those films on BD as low as $10 in-store. Prices are back up to $15 average.

I dunno... Those sets are just expensive. SHould have been available in something besides the LE editions on Blu ray. They're too expensive for the run times.

The Fate DVD sets are definitely overpriced, too.

Then again, I've never understood the pricing where the DVDs were $20 more expensive than the equivalent Blu ray releases, either.

The pricing scheme for the Sailor Moon (Classic) Blu ray sets is out of order, too. I can routinely find the DVDs for $30 or less even in stores!

Woah, the comments are just about people b!tching about the worldwide broadcasting, about Netflix.
Just be glad this show will get 25 episodes and not the usual 12-13.

I'll watch that show dubbed in like 30 weeks. Fun to know it's 2-cour.

Netflix deserves all the hate it gets for doing this.

Given how Netflix has handled 2-cour anime thus far (e.g., Kuromukuro and LWA), we'll likely get this in two batches, not a single one.

Netflix has given plenty of reason's for us Europeans to hate it so far. Them and Amazon snapping up series' without any clear commitment towards offering shows here hurts.

Yes. But we'll get 1-13 after all 25 episodes have already aired on Netflix Japan and Japanese TV. Like with LWA.

The badnews is that episode 12 or 13 will not be a nice "landing spot", the good news is that at least netflix will dub it to several languages (unlike amazon). It looks like netflix and amazon are in a campaign to "keep fansubbing alive". I know I will not wait to hear the dubs.

Yeah, not going to lie, this makes absolutely zero sense to me. Everything else about their binging policy I can kind of stretch to understand, but withholding episodes AFTER the show is over in its entirety makes no sense to me. Confused

I'm still amazed that UTW rose from the grave to save Apoc.
