http://i.imgur.com/IZvjUfB.jpg -They usually do a good job with disc art as I hear. This is just an exception to that. I'm hoping maybe, just maybe with how Discotek is now getting bigger they will start including inside artwork, and maybe offering nicer sets like limited editions? I wouldn't mind paying extra for nicer releases from them. |

My thoughts exactly. I have been wondering for some time now is Bloodlust would ever get the BR treatment. After seeing Ninja Scroll and other older movies, older than Bloodlust, get the BR upgrade I had remained hopeful this would eventually happen. This is a definite double dipper title for sure. I'll probably even keep the DVD around just for memories sake. |

Hey! Don't call Discotek goons or retards! They work their butts off to give us fans anime! Who's to say it won't get a dub in the future? If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

Really amazed by Discotek getting all these anime licenses, nice one.

This is not even remotely how feedback works. Not that I agree with the comments made. Though it is ridiculous that two different licensors have two different parts of the same show at the same time. |

Discotek is certainly going to be making a lot of BL/fujoshi/yaoi fans happy with Free!

^^^ not really. Most of the ones I know are not happy with the way it is being handled.

Since I'm not into this genre, how was it handled that various people are not happy about it? |

DVD only. Subtitle only.

At least all those people angry about the casting of Vic M. (in Free) can have that sub only (not supporting him) release they were clamoring for, for the first season at least.

Not the first time it's happened. Same thing happened with Saiyuki. Though I agree it is rather confusing to say the least. |

I suspect they plan to, hence the comment. Discotek's an archeologist, not a dubber, and they don't produce dubs. (Although they go out of their way to include existing dubs that have already been produced, which may be the case for Cagliostro and 70's features, but not for Free. Which it isn't.) |

Wow, was not expecting Discotek to get so many big and classic titles, particularly Free!, which might have the most screwy licensing this side of Macross (sorry fans, particularly for that lack of dub and BD upfront). Older titles and classics aside, this sounds more like a mix of Sentai and FUNimation pickups. What has been going on at Discotek that has enabled them to make major plays like Free!, Arpeggio, and Strike the Blood? I certainly welcome the step-up of another distributor to lessen the monopoly, but I sincerely hope that they'll also step-up their efforts to dub and produce BDs of more major titles, as well (though they have been better on the latter end).

Actually the more entitled fans on here want their blu-ray and dub, and they don't want to pay market prices for these luxaries(apparently Index and Railgun were disappointing in sales due to entitled fans holding out for a blu-ray). I think they should be thanking Discotek for releasing it(I mean they aren't some fly by night company like that horrible S'more and they will be released as mentioned with prices that are competitive with Funimation). And yes, Funimation certainly made sure that CR would never allow them to get season 1. (Yeah I wouldn't be surprised that Funi managed to anger Kadokawa by disrespecting them like that). |

Entitled? Not really. Pragmatic, yes. What logic is there in spending twenty bucks for a product that looks better streaming for pennies? In my group, the lack of BD is the most distressing issue here. This is a group of women who not only pay for the AoA releases they like, but also import and spend Japan asking price plus shipping. |
