Wow, more Nanoha Dropping :P

Isn't it odd that Kanna is encouraging us to buy the DVDs when he doesn't even like the series?

yay for the dvds but meh cuz like all other anime DVDs it is a rip off...only getting like 3 or 4 eps per DVD. i understand its for "dvd quility" but they shouldn't cost like 10$ for that many eps. but thats me... if it cost like 30$ or so for the whole season i would think about paying that more than the 10$ one that only have 3 or so eps. Back to waiting for the next Bokurano.

nanoha dvds zomg!!! they better be uncut. less nazi then suki?? ROFL banned!

I told you I'm being friendly.

Won't see me cryin' I never liked the show.

Ripoff? It's fucking cheap, is what it is. Try $60 for two episodes, in Japan, and see how you like THAT.

That just means that it's insanely overpriced rather than just expensive.

And as I'm writing, another idiot comes on...

Or stop licensing unprofitable shows.

yes but a movie is only a one time pay thing. so 20 dollars only. you have 20x9 which is 180$ (got 9 from anime is 26 eps.. if you have about 3 eps per vol you will have about 9 volumes.) so 180 for the season.. times that by 2 and you get 360...i dont see how you can compare a series to a movie

Here's the simple reason I can compare the two: Amount of work = Amount of work.

it's called the law of the idiocy.

if there's enough idiot to buy the dvd for so much, they win, else they go sue the peoples who downloaded it to gain some profit of it! :P

Gyaaaaa... guess I will reenforce some peoples claims about fans willing to paying out of their ass for an anime series they like. I myself will be buying the Nanoha R2 DVDs in a few weeks... why pay over 600 dollars for it, cause I like the series.

Look... it's obvious at this point that you have no clue what the concept of a law is. In the scientific sense, a law is a theory that has been tested repeatedly and never has been falsified in any sense. In the scientific sense, an "observation" is, well, an "observation" (go figure) which is even before the conjecture/hypothesis step. Sure, this means that many "laws" are misnomers (even Newton's "laws" of physics) - that's true and nearly everyone in the respective fields recognizes this. Do everyone a favor: don't argue something when you're inept.

And once again you contradict yourself. Your argument was about supply and demand in the previous post, but now you say it has nothing to do with overproduction (which by definition is too much supply).

I'm starting to realize why the Triad members usually just call people idiots and then go on with what they were doing. I'm finished with this.

Oh, and RON.

I hope the staff from the triad are not spending all of their time reading such meaningless discussion, so that they can PLEASE hurry with the next eps of bokurano. Once again, THANKS for your nice work.

Both laws and theories are tested over and over again and never fail. The fact that laws are certain and theories are just hypothesizes is one of the major misconceptions people have. I didn't actually have an argument, I was merely pointing out the flaws in yours. So take your own advice and don't argue about something you are clearly inept in.

2309, you're honestly telling me that a half hour of Nanoha cost more to make than an hour of House?

Hell, House is getting on for having as much animation per episode as Nanoha.

2543 - I doubt they're bothering ^_^.

2546 - meh, I typed theory when I meant conjecture/hypothesis. Even so a strawman. The main point was that supply-demand models fail often.

2547 - Forgetting overhead?

The funny thing is that prices of anime DVDs have gone down significantly in the last 4 years, but sales haven't gone up that much. Even some new DVDs are coming out at MSRPs of 24.98 or 19.99 instead of the traditional $29.98, and those prices are always discounted at Best Buy and online. And you can find rediculously cheap collections of most series, like Scrapped Princess for $49.98 SRP discounted down to $30-$35. That sounds in line with pricing on DVDs for US TV shows.

I never saw Nanoha, but I picked it up from here awhile back when there were licensing rumors. Will make decision on the DVDs after seeing some/all of it.

great so now there is only 1 show being subbed?

2567, there's only been one show being subbed for awhile now. since they released lord of lords...they dropped nanoha3 after the first episode...

Haha, buy. Buy anime. That's rich. I'll get right on that.
