Neither are shows that I really know much about (although definitely am aware of their presence)... but at that price I would certainly consider picking them up. It'll be interesting to see how they're packaged... while I don't mind FUNI's half-season sets, I definitely wouldn't mind seeing something...... sturdier?

Aw. I'm sure it's for the best, but Kanon's singles were so nice looking. I would've liked to own Clannad's, even if the show is mediocre.

Makes sense.
They're the only production company that doesn't copy-protect their dvds like everyone else. With Funimation, a person would have to use DVDDecrypter then DVDShrink to squeeze it into a 4.7GB disc, and with Geneon's, you always had to clear the VOB's through several extra processes. And don't even think of copying Wall-E; one Disney dvd is stacked at 64GBs. I know all this because I make AMV's regularly. And I believe doing this will help ADV stave off cheap Netflix users from copying their discs without permission. And, at the same time, ADV is able to compete better with the other markets that currently offer such deals. Here's hoping they pick up more soon. |

Good move, ADV. I don't have any interest in Clannad, but PR might be considered
Also, I've never understood the criticism of Funi's half-season set packaging. Just what do you guys do with your DVDs, throw them around and toss bricks at them?! I own TV show DVD sets of similar packaging that have been in my collection for 4-5 years, and they're in just as good as condition as when I bought them. Funi shouldn't be held responsible if some people can't treat their DVD sets with care. |

[quote="Unit 03.5-ish"]I'll take a pass on the generic moe/harem show, but Princess Resurrection looks veddy intelesting...but only if it has a dub, which ADV might have had to cut since Sojitz kicked them out of bed.

I meant how their finances dipped into the red after Sojitz said "LOL NO".

Good move ADV. I was gonna wait till all the singles of Clannad were in boxset form, but I'll definitely buy Clannad when it comes out now.

Clannad's as much about the guys as it is the girls. |

I wasn't that crazy about Clannad and didn't really see why everyone else thought it was so great. I agreed that it wasn't loud, annoying and the animation was good but didn't think it was worth all those "Masterpiece" ratings its ANN page has.
I'm glad for the season box set, so I can probably get about all the episodes I watched at once (the 1st 11, I think). |

I'm very glad to see they jettisoned the idea of doing these as singles. It's likely neither series ever would have been completed that way. Half season boxes will bring in more revenue more quickly off the first and second release. I would have preferred to see full season boxes (lowest risk for both us and fans) and perhaps even a regular and 'limited' edition version of each with the limited version having some sort of nice collectable packaging. That would have been the safest route considering the current situation, so I'll wait to applaud ADV for this move when they stay in business long enough to actually get both boxes of each series out. I'm still having nightmares involving unfinished ADV releases and super angry customers from last summer...  No more of that please ADV.

1. Wow...a...harem show where stuff actually HAPPENS? Which sign of the Armageddon was that, again? 2. What do you mean by their policy of not stocking Princess-titled shows?? This is a joke policy, right? ...Right? |
