The shipping on amazon jp is expensive so once you include that it tends to balance out with yesasia and its free shipping. I mean I shop around and try to find the best prices, but in my experience these things are pretty expensive in general |

Alright, but we've strayed away from what you first said about the world of Japanese pricing.

Whoah watch out guys, we got a badass over here. And with a Madoka avatar no less? Yeah that show wasn't overhyped at all. Anyways, the lack of an english dub here is a deal breaker. I have no desire to watch Bebop in Japanese as the english dub is my favorite dub ever. Even if there were subs included I don't think I would buy this  .

I doubt it. Sony sub-licensed the movie to Image Entertainment, who released the recent Blu-Ray, and the movie also turned up on a double feature of theirs'. I would expect FUNimation or Sentai (Media Blasters?) to rescue Cowboy Bebop eventually. It's just too popular a title NOT to see a rescue. It would be nice if the English dub was on the Blu-Ray though. It's happening with bunches of other titles (including those released to Blu-Ray in the US), so why not Bebop? |

If the only response you can give is "oh yeah? Well YOUR favorite show is overhyped too!" maybe your position isn't very strong. Also get back to us when Madoka's become the most played late night anime in the history of US TV. |

Well you also have to include that Amazon sells at a higher discount. The list price is comparable to what YesAsia charges. |

Right, I don't know anybody ballin' enough for MSRP, and the success of price aggregators like Kakaku and even amazon itself indicates Japanese by and large aren't either. It's the same reason people flock to Book Off and Yodobashi Camera. Which brings me back to what I said: there be cheapies. Just not for people thousands of miles away.
On a related note, I was also really surprised to see that video rental stores like Tsutaya also make serious money renting out CDs and often have 100 yen/DVD promos for rentals. The size and proliferation of rental stores also probably has something to do with that MSRP. |

Hey I'm just expressing my opinion. My opinion is just personal thoughts and speculations. Does it mean that I'm not entitled to personal opinion even false impression? I didn't say anything about the movie. From I've seen, non-anime fans in the US seem to remember Cowboy Bebop well because of TV. |

You are entitled to it, but other people are also entitled to point out places where you are factually wrong |

I'll just shut up. I don't want to argue with folks armed to the teeth with data. Let's get back to the Japanese pricing which put people in shock. |

I guess I try to not be too opinionated when it comes to arguing about cartoons  .

You seriously don't think Cowboy Bebop is overhyped? People talk like its the second coming of Jesus by the fanbase over here. I won't say its a bad anime or anything, but its obviously viewed as much greater than it actually is, mainly because its what got a lot of people into anime or was their first "Mature" anime. |

You can. Just be prepared to defend it as if you're defending a PhD thesis.

a Cowboy Bebop blu ray? are you freakin' serious?
wow, I have the most rotten luck when it comes to this sort of thing, here I am just having re-watched Cowboy Bebop this summer on dvd for the first time in like 8 years and now this happens what's crazy is the same exact thing happened when I re-watched R.O.D The TV for the first time in 5 years in the summer of 2010 and just a few months later (around this very same time actually) was when the blu rays for that were announced (which I gotta tell ya, surprised the hell out of me), what's going on here man? oh well though, no big deal, at least now when I watch Cowboy Bebop again it will be in HD and that will also give me the perfect excuse to re-watch it yet again when it becomes available |

Nope. I know it wasn't directed towards me, but I was compelled to answer it. Which brings me to my next question. You seriously don't think that Madoka is overhyped? |
