NEWS: Bandai Ent. Adds Star Driver Kagayaki no Takuto Anime

They are also releasing The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya movie this Summer on DVD/Blu-ray. Source.

The whole "no dub, no buy" thing just sends me into an enormous rage.

I consider myself first and foremost, not just an anime fan, but a collector as well.

If I like a series, I want it in my collection,whether it has a dub or not (Especially if I like it and i've already watched it on fansubs). I take pride in my collection.

I really hope I'm not in a minority for thinking that.

I just don't' agree with the whole "If it's not dubbed then it's worthless and I have every right to just watch fan subs instead" entitlement BS that's prevalent.

I think your "." needs to be a "?!", as currently it took me a second to see that you are actually railing against Funimation, putting them BELOW Bang-Zoom. At least, that is what I believe you are claiming.

Like Zrdlb said, the whole sub vs. dub argument is quite pointless and fans should really only buy what they prefer.

Fans need to stop being so downright petty.

"No dub, no buy" "No bluray, no buy" "No lossless audio, no buy" "No anything, no buy" "Show sucks because I seen it for free, no buy"

No one seems to be happy anymore that they're actually getting DVDs out there. Maybe all anime companies should just put their stuff on Itunes from now on because fans arent buying anything or are too PETTY to buy it. Actually, they should just go out of business and no one would care from the looks of it. They should go import Japanese DVDs, because No-sub 2 ep discs for 50-70 bucks is a HECK of alot better than subtitled 7 episodes discs for 40-50 bucks. <_<


If having a dub really was the deal breaker for anime, Sentai would be out of business, Geneon and ADV would still be alive and Bandai would still be dubbing, simple as that. But it isn't, it's the other way around. You get what you pay for.

Personally, I think dubbed DVDs should range more to about 100 dollars per half seasons and 50 for subbed. Because the fans who actually buy it even at that price would be showing they really want a dub instead of complaining all the time.


It should be DVD release = INSTANT BUY.

I wouldn't be surprised if we stop getting DVDs or blurays in the near future...so much for the industry.

Sorry but I just don't see the point of buying a sub only DVD/BD, when I can watch subs for free online legally.

(yes I know there's nowhere to legally watch star driver in english subs)

You got a point there, never saw that lol.

(I will never buy a sub only DVD/BD though)

Ummm.. than what's the point of buying a dubbed DVD or Bluray, when you can watch the dubs online legally for free, or over something like Netflix with a subscription?

People have tried to use this argument before, but it just doesn't hold water since the exact same thing applies to dubbed series (through both legal and illegal methods.)
