For example, I recently ordered the Afro Samurai SteelBook and Attack on Titan: The Final Chapters Limited Edition from RACS as that's where I've taken my business for certain publishers following the shutdown of Right Stuf as I try to avoid the Crunchyroll Store (I don't want to reward them for what they did), and Robert like usual shipped things in a box with packing peanuts (they're annoying to deal with, but they work well enough), and everything arrived flawless. Say what you will about Robert (Ex: Charging full MSRP or above MSRP on many OOP items), but he does care how stuff arrives, especially now so he can attract former Right Stuf customers. This then brings up the question, if I were to review Vinland Saga Season 2 on Blu-ray, should I bring up how it arrived from RACS and factor that in the score? I don't really think so. Bringing up downgrading the "premium packaging" would have been better suited for This Week in Anime.

Pretty sure this is a Crunchyroll bluray and not a Sentai release. Does CR even do many special editions?? |

You are correct, sir, my mistake. Because Sentai released Season 1 (as a special edition), I assumed they did season 2. |

wait so thats why he got replaced? UGH! its beyond stupid and frustrating that there are VAs like him, scott freeman and mignonga will completely squander their careers and god given talents for being complete idiots when there are a majority of us anime fans (myself included) that would literately give up an arm and a leg to have their type of anime VA careers let one their vocal talents before they decided to waste it! |

that's not it. Vinland Saga has two separate dubs with two separate casts: one by Netflix with Aleks Le,and the other by Sentai(season 1) and Crunchyroll(season 2) with Mike Haimoto. Accusations about Haimoto's abusive behavior became public when he was still recording for season 2,but strangely,CR actually let him finish his work before cutting ties with him(and he's been pretty much blacklisted from the industry since then) |

When the company responsible for the product is the same company that is responsible for shipping it, I think it makes total sense. If Sony/Crunchyroll wants to have its brand associated with every aspect of anime distribution, then it's only fair that it be reflected throughout. I would probably agree that mentioning it might be misplaced if it came from a third party, but I think a company should care more about its own products. In this specific instance, Sony bought a retailer known for caring about how packages arrived, and has let that slip. |

Except from the fact that modern English is roughly 15-20% derived from Old Norse going as far back as the 11th century, right down to the synonym pairs. And 20% of a language is still one fifth of said language. Guess how much Japanese is derived from Old Norse. Just guess. I'll wait. |

One is 0% authentic, the other is 25%. It's not neither. |

still doesnt change the stupidity of the actions of those VAs which was the point of my previous comment. but it was even more stupid for CR to keep him still the end should have replaced him the minute it got out and remove all his lines from the series with the new VA! this is one thing i completely agree with the reviewer regarding the dub, but i would have given the eng dub an F instead. i mean hell, i wouldnt recommend this to any any anime fan right now cause of horrible CR is doing with their disc version. you would think they would have inherited on how to do a proper blu ray release after buying and absorbing BOTH funimation and right stuff/nozumi entertainment! but this is defintely half assed work at best, lazy at worst when it comes to this release |
