Don't all of you agree that Aniplex of America releases are ridiculous?

We get posts complaining about Aniplex of America prices all the time; why nothing about Pony Canyon? They charge much more per episode and their encodes aren't even done in Japan for the most part!

Give it time. I think they entered the market this year? Anyways, as I mentioned earlier: If they get Attack on Titan season 2, then their name will be heard loud and clear. I can't wait to see the pricing threads for that lol.

Also, look at this: http://www.rightstufanime.com/Garako...ion-Blu-ray-CD

I hope Aniplex starts doing this more. Competition is good, especially when both companies are targeting collectors'. We need another company to challenge Aniplex at their level.

It has actually been almost a year and a half, as Yuki Yuna 1 came out on 4/10/2015.

Much to my delight, Sound! Euphonium is coming out in the UK I draw the line at their prices, especially with their beyond stupid packaging and not-so-Japanese video quality.

Agreed, in fact I'm really tired of poorly authored and encoded discs from alot of these companies, and I'm tired of their releases being so barebones products to some shows I love to where they even try to cram a whole cour onto 1 disc making the video quality far worse than it should be. I like it when releases have a chipboard or metal tin box, giant booklet with storyboards, art, interviews, sketches etc, soundtrack cds, digipaks, posters, hats/apparel/necklaces etc, disc art, and I could go on. Lately Aniplex has gotten lazy with that to where it's only been one bonus item (mainly only postcards) in flimsy slipcovers with amarays instead of digipaks rather than trying to include all of the JP extras and that really annoys me.

I hate them. They are just as bad and as you mentioned and have worse PQ.

Side note for those that haven't heard of them. They have been around in the US for awhile now since 2014.

I do have to wonder when Pony Canyon USA is going to release Steel Angel Kurumi.
