No kidding. Anyone who thinks Sentai's dubs are better than Funi's is suffering from a major case of tin ear.

I agree that the titles you mention are solid. You are also good at cherry picking because while the titles you mention from Sentai are mostly crap (I thought Samurai Girls was not that bad), you conveniently forget that they have, Angel Beats!, Ghost Hound, K-On!!, ef, and Mawaru Peguindrum is on its way. Do not pretend that FUNi does not release dumb boob shows like Girls Bravo, Cat Planet Cuties and Freezing.
Oh yeah, I pretty much 'live' at ANN, and I never knew anything about Panty and Stocking BD's. And how do you exactly know that casuals fans roam the ANN forums? |

I have to admit - there are few ANN users more omnipresent than myself and I didn't know about the possibility of the P&SwG BDs, either. Mind you, the title wasn't a burning issue for me that way it is for TKoH.

Hahaha I remember commenting on the trailer complaining about no blu-ray and getting many rage responses telling me to stfu and gtfo. I knew this would happen and decided to wait, go me~
Now I posted the same comment on the deadman wonderland set (also got many insults for wanting a blu ray), watch by summer deadman will also release on blu ray.
I think sentai have better scripts than funimation...Seriously, funimation was afraid to swear until recently and their accents are disgustingly over-exaggerated. I like sentai better for having more realistic dialog and not fearing to crack inappropriate jokes/words |

At least it's not like Kadokawa's treatment of Kiddy GiRL-and in Japan - the LE DVDs, RE DVDs and BDs all had diffferent unique cover art, and the LE DVDs had different on-disc extras to the BDs. |

I prefer Sentai's dubs as well. Funi's dubs are way too liberal for me. I prefer the dialog be close to the actual translation. Sentai (mainly Foster) is guilty of it too, but Funi is consistently way too liberal with their dubs. There's at least one change every couple episodes that has me wanting to scream. I also prefer Sentai's shows over Funi's, but that's totally subjective. I do like Funi's LEs though.

Folks, Sentai releases just as many boob shows as Funimation does. they got nearly all of them last season and several this season with To love ru darkness being the most recent. Funi gets most of the flack since they actually market their shows while sentai just seems to quietly release their shows. this whole debate over who is better is just stupid.

I agree that Sentai has as many boobs shows as FUNi (Sentai might even have more). I agree that FUNi markets these shows, while Sentai releases them quietly. And because of this last point I tend to give more flack to FUNi for their boob shows. FUNi seems to be parading shows like Freezing as the best written, directed and animated show out there. Sentai, on the other hand, with the exception of High School of the Dead, only offer their boob shows subbed-only and on DVD. I should not begrudge any R1 company for releasing boob shows. After all, it is what helps to pay the bills. But I hate it when FUNi throws their crappy boobs show at my face and tries to convince that it has a worthwhile and memorable story; and that male pandering has nothing to do with them being released. |

why not market the best part of a show?

Well, that just sucks. I had read Funi had altogether canceled the Blu-ray plans so I purchased the DVD. I wouldn't have mind waiting longer for the BD had they not said that. I won't double dip though, it still looks pretty nice on DVD.

This.
Yeah well said. Plus from what I recall it wasn't really just hope in this particular case unlike some past instances, I distinctly remember plenty of chatter in the forum that day about Funi wanting to do BDs for this. |
