Listen either you have the money to afford these sets or you don't it's as simple as that. Personally I'm so damn dirt poor myself, I can afford cheap sets from funimation 'even from their s.a.v.e library. However do you hear me b**** about it?? No!!! The reason why is very simple, if you really/truly wanted this set you would find a way save money then make a purchase. It might take 2-5 months of saving but for the love of god hearing you people whine over and over again makes me sick.
On Bakemonogatari it's self, well thankfully I can watch legally through streaming channels such as crunchy roll. Gee I keep wondering why people keep forgetting about streaming options as of late?? Last edited by Cecilthedarkknight_234 on Tue Feb 05, 2013 1:30 am; edited 1 time in total |

This is one of the largest examples of a non sequitur I've seen all day. Pray tell, what exactly about SHAFT's infamous delays when it comes to releasing things has to do with AoA, an entirely different company, hypothetically commissioning a hypothetical dub for Bakemono? |

That's exactly right Cecilthedarkknight_234. Instead of saving up money to afford things that you like, people nowadays seem to just moan and complain and demand that companies reduce their prices.
Owning Anime isn't a right. If you can't afford a release you want then save up the money. If you are not in a financial position to save then tough tits. On a more humourous note, I notice that Bakemonogatari's price of $150 is the same amount as the first place prize in the tournament Minigames here at ANN. If you can't afford the show then win the Minigame and Dorcas_Aurelia will buy it for you. |

PrecisionCrab, I've read and reread your comments, and there's one inescapable interpretation I'm seeing: you're virtually asking for a crusade against AoA's pricing structure. You want a confrontation on the issue, one that's apparently supposed to force AoA to admit they're wrong and change their ways.
It isn't going to happen, no matter much you want it, for one simple reason that you're choosing to ignore: it wouldn't do a damn bit of good. Look, you are far from the only person who isn't happy about how AoA is doing business. I don't know how long you've been paying attention to our forums, but this has been a hot-button topic ever since AoA released Garden of Sinners at a collecters-only price a couple of years ago. You're voicing some of the same arguments that others have said many times before, and all of that has changed exactly nothing. Think AoA isn't aware of fan reactions to what they're doing? They'd have to be deaf and blind not to, but they don't need to care at this point because people are still buying their release in quantities that satisfy them. So what you're asking for is a waste of time and effort. But you have fun trying to make that happen. |

They have translated character commentaries. And as much as NISA is currently my favorite North American anime distribution company at the moment, I have not seen them provide an on-disc extra anywhere near as nice as those commentaries. If those commentaries aren't enough for you, then they aren't enough for you, but believe me, this release is every bit as "premium" as the price suggests. |

I got about 4 pages into this thread and then decided I was tired of reading dub or price complains so I skipped to the end to make a post complaining about these posts.
Brilliant, I know. |

I'm trying to help you by saying this: You sound like a crazy idiot. Nobody in my position would take anything you say seriously, because you sound like a crazy idiot. Feel free to call me unprofessional. |

When Key and Zac comes here to scold you, that's going too far.
Anyway about the box, is it made of cardboard, like Fate/Zero? |

Be warned that it's a DVD-only (R4) release. Thus you're still out of luck if you're after a Blu-Ray release. The lack of a Blu-Ray release at any price point killed me buying the local (Hanabee) release. |

@bhl88
The Bakemonogataria box is chipboard, similar to the Funimation LE boxes. it is sized for the three bluray cases it contains. It is similar to the Fate/Zero boxes in weight, but it is smooth not mat finish and as noted not the same size. |

ANN's ability to severely stay off-topic absolutely amazes me. This isn't even a review comment thread, it's the Aniplex USA argument repeated for the 9000th time with the exact same points as the last couple of ones.
Give me a break people... Also those thinking making this argument happen over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again will make things change, take a look at today's date. It's February 5, 2013, Aniplex USA has been around for TWO AND A HALF YEARS, let that sink in, two and a half YEARS, what they've been doing has been working, and they have not changed their strategy. So you have been doing nothing but complaining for years, with nothing changing. Think of all the time you wasted... Last edited by BigOnAnime on Tue Feb 05, 2013 4:46 pm; edited 1 time in total |

@amagee
It's in the second episode when Senjougahara was changing in front of Koyomi. She called him a virgin after she was displeased with a "compliment" Koyomi gave her. Koyomi protests saying that she shouldn't just assume that he's a virgin. Senjougahara fires back by saying, according to Aniplex "Don’t spit at me. I’ll catch your amateur virginity," upon which Koyomi admits that he's a kissless virgin. However, in that line Senjougahara says the word "shirouto doutei" (素人童貞) which might translate to "amateur virgin" if you lazily rely on the dictionary definition of each term, but in reality, "shirouto doutei" means a guy who always had to pay for sex, or never had sex with a girlfriend and only with sex workers. So Koyomi would rather admit that he never had sex at all than have Senjougahara assume that he's so desperate that he has to pay for sex. But the way Aniplex translated it ruined what was probably the funniest exchange of the whole series. |

And here I was expecting 6 pages worth of people bitching about Theron daring to suggest that Bakemonogatari was essentially a harem/Key-esque show with interesting padding; how naive of me to forget that this was an Aniplex release. I love the hierarchy of things people gripe about on this site. ^^
Other than that, I thought this was a great review, so many thanks. Bake might not be the incredibly complex or profound anime some proclaim it so be, but I still rather enjoyed it. I won’t be paying the asking price, but whatever. |
