No it's not. Type Moon fans imported the sets fully well knowing that a future release with a dub could happen. Had AoA said that they were never going to dub it and/or have another F/Z release then there'd be reason to be upset. But this is completely fine. |

Well, all I have to say if whoever did buy it right away, it was their choice. They have no one to blame but themselves for regretting not waiting. I just checked Rightstuf and they still have the imports available, so it would never be a case of "must buy this now or it'll go OOP!" If you have to buy something right away, go ahead! But I don't see why a company would owe you something for a decision you made. It's not like it was a promise that it would be their only release for it. Me? With things like Garden of Sinners getting re-released (for myself, I didn't care it was DVD-only), I didn't mind at ALL waiting for a cheaper release. Patience... Besides, it's been highly requested at panels and such for a more affordable release. I for once, am glad I waited!
Saw this after I posted. Pretty much this right here. |

But they DID say that at one point. They specifically stated at one of their panels, "We have no plans at this time to produce dubs for Blue Exorcist or Fate/Zero". And they never would have, had Neon Alley not come around and given them reason to. So yeah. I can understand why people would be upset about this. |

I guess you're new to PR talk? They use the phrase "no plans" often, but it never equals out to "never", unless they specifically state so. So many games and anime have been released after using that phrase... Still, dub or not, they never said they wouldn't re-release it either. |

It was only logical that there would be a cheaper release in the future. I wanted to see what Fate/Zero was all about, but I waited until it was
less expensive than $700 to do it. People who bought the import got what they paid for. Sometimes it pays to wait. EDIT: Same thing goes for Blue Exorcist. If you didn't see the value in 4 sub-only DVDs why buy them? Last edited by traveling on Thu Jul 04, 2013 8:55 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I can't speak for everyone, but that fits me to a T. I loved the import sets, but I still want to get the stuff with the next release they do. If I'd had more money a few months back, I would've gotten the Oreimo BD set they released too, even though I already have the DVD set they released. Then again a better example might be that a I retroactively bought all the Lucky Star LEs a few months after I bought the DVD box set... and I love 'em.

The line "we have no plans at this time" just basically means that they do not want to make any sort of public statement. For example, when the magazine leaks for Azazel-san's second season were all over the internet the creators of Azazel said that "they have no plans at this time for a sequel". Less than 24 hours later, the official announcement for the sequel was made.

Except the only people 'upset' are the usual AoA price complainers who in all likelihood didn't buy those sets in the first place. So it's just the same old thing but with more disingenuous spin than usual. |

Yep. This is true. Of course, there are people who don't understand the mindset of those of us who imported... and that's entirely fine, because people are different. Also I REGRET NOTHING, I WILL OWN BOTH SETS AND BE HAPPY. |

This will seem like a dumb question but is today the day all the AX stuff is going down(industry panels, licenses announcements) because I thought it was Fri-Sun. Last edited by The Count on Thu Jul 04, 2013 9:09 pm; edited 1 time in total |

As someone that has Japanese Madoka Blu-Rays 1 and 3 (with plans for 5) solely for the Drama CDs in addition to what is (and will) come out domestically, I concur with your theory. I'm pretty sure everyone who imported that are well aware of potential future releases and easily accessible streaming. |

I imported Madoka not expecting there to ever be a license, considering the BluRay sales achieved record-breaking highs for anime TV BluRay releases and there was no simulcast. Then the license announcement happened and I already had three of the discs and the fourth coming in ~3 weeks and I figured that I was already in too deep to just bail, so I finished importing it. edit: but I ordered the whole series before the broadcast concluded, and before the first disc even came out. I actually have the errored volume one, there was no easy way to get a replacement being in the United States
