Don't talk about Duckroll Hype until it actually occurs. Until then, have some real hype.
A glorious present for Biscotti fans. SOme of which is very much not safe for work

Idolm@ster 18 was clearly training for this. Yokotama has mastered the art of MOE.
Right, that. Are they extending it to PSN too? Wouldn't mind Cladun or Legasista for cheap.
I'm already insane, so this thread has no discernible effect.
It merely brings others to my level.
At least now they can understand me better
Tell me about it...

I think I grew a beard listening to that.
that song would make your dick a grow a beard if you listened to it enough.
Well, seems like I just saved $50. Thanks for the quick reply!

They are separate events.
The online store begins today while their PSN sale has already begun. Though, the only thing they discounted last week was the Disgaea 4 DLC, but we all hope they discount better things this week.
ZHP please!
Lol, all he does is direct Episode. This will end up badly I persume.

It was tragic when I found out yesterday.Wait a minute...the US only gets a DVD version of ano Natsu? GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE
It was tragic when I found out yesterday.
Publishers have said that anime buyers prefer DVD, though! Stop being so ENTITLED.

It would be funny if Kamisama Dolls (whatever the fuck that is) wasn't getting a BD release.

This is too much for me to handle. I ain't gonna img tag that gif.
Time to catch up with this show is now.
Its not being entitled. I see bargain bin blurays of terrible C grade movies at Best Buy these days. there is no fucking excuse not to have a bluray of everything at this point. Even if it has to be a barebones packaging. If it must be DVD, then include an artbook or pencil board or something so it doesnt look like a cheapshit copout garbage release. Im talking to you Sentai.
lolwut
I mean, I liked Kamisama Dolls more than most people here, but it makes zero fucking sense for one to be BD and the other to be DVD when they're both just going to sell to the same tiny pool of collectors!
I guess they're just going to plaster Hibino's enormous tits all over the packaging and hope they get enough impulse buys to recoup the dreaded BD licensing/pressing costs.

As long as Phi Brain gets a Blu Ray then Im alright with the occasional DVD only Hakuouki, Ano Natsu release from Sentai.

Though Sentai could improve the quality of their blu rays, on the Horizon one, half of an episode becomes really pixelated, fortunately no action but that was annoying and one issue that shouldnt have been over looked.
Sentai is so shit. Im the only one who buys stuff from them
It seems if you want a new series, Sentai has the rights for it. I get upset how bare bones Sentai releases are from packaging and extras.
I've bought a couple of things from them in the past but I hate the barebones packaging so it usually has to be something that I really really want.
I'm glad that they've stepped up to the plate with Penguindrum, for instance, but getting two standard-size BD cases is so underwhelming. I know I've said this before, but because I spend far more time staring at my physical anime on a shelf than I do actually watching it, presentation matters. I know that they can only release most of this stuff at all because they operate on shoestring margins, but it's still not ideal!

As long as they have lots of extras on disc and even commentaries, etc, like No. 6 and Un-go, and P4A. Not like Viz ever has extras and funimation is what, clean opening and endings...
I was so confident on the evergrowing rumors as the events approached, blindly following the hype... that it reached a moment when we would continue the preach it, to just believe in something, just hoping even though we knew the real answer...
... never again... :-X ...
until the next slight opportunity, like always.
Don't forget Dresden's recent sacrifice to see how this man handles directing an OVA!
Exactly.
For us collectors of physical media, we want something packaged well. Otherwise we would just get a digital release. I want physical media and swag, which is why I gladly pay more for Aniplex and NISA sets. They have the right idea. I like my artbooks, pencil boards, mini figures, artboxes, translation booklets, postcards, posters, you get the picture.
subtitles dont bother me enough to make it an issue.
I kind of like the translation up on the screen watching an opening. The words are usually silly anyways.
Lol, that is just Dresden being Dresden

That's what I'm saying.
I guess I wasn't clear. I'd laugh at madpierrot's joke if Kamisami Dolls BD didn't exist. lol
Infinite Stratos and Ikuko Croisee are two of their most "feature packed" discs. Much more so than the anime standard.
Even A-Channel has a VA interview thing.
I think it's just with certain shows, the rights to get the stuff is prohibitive. Even for IS, they had to omit one of the cast commentaries for some reason.

Well that saves me from ever buying their Horizon release.

I'm bad at jokes.
I would love if NIS had the rights for Tsuritama because I trust them to make it a premium release. I hope Sentai at least will make it a bluray release.

Dont they decide that based on streaming numbers? Hopefully people actually streamed it on Crunchyroll and the Anime Network Player. Id want it dubbed at least, which is the only issue with NISA getting stuff.
Also, Funimation used to have the right idea. Observe the Tsukuyomi Moonphase release:

Dat gorgeous artbox.

Dresden is my friend! (I don't know what this is about at all, I just have to stand up for my nakama.)
OK, that is just a beauty.
Pff, that was compliment. What sort of Nakama are you?
Haru is bad enough without an English dub. Just imagining it is horrifying.
There are too many series I need to catch up on, like, now for me to be too picky (watching Cowboy Bebop on DVD now), but I guess you're right; everything else has blu-ray now, so why is anime different? I will be strictly waiting for blu-ray releases of Ghibli movies, however. There are enough to tide me over for now, and it's fun having something to look forward to. Still, how they all aren't available on blu-ray is pretty mind-boggling. I guess the same could be said for other companies, though.

That is some pretty awesome packaging.
Tsuritama would have been a good fit for NISA. The show's art would have translated perfectly to the gorgeous flat, rectangular artboxes that NISA uses for their deluxe editions, and it probably would have come with a sizable artbook.
Instead, this is probably what we'll get with Sentai:
(I made this shop months ago but it's suddenly relevant, lol)
