You're not gonna believe this s**t. ADV is discontinuing their Robotech DVDs. And they haven't even said why! They're just discontinuing it for no reason whatsoever I guess. And their RT DVDs are part of their biggest selling titles. This is such BS. I'm so pissed off right now. Why are you doing this ADV? Is there someone in your marketing division that's totally corrupt or something?

This is the beauty of a commercial industry. As soon as something's not profitable, it's discontinued. A lot of companies do it, and ADV is not even the worst when it comes to that. Think, for example, about all the customers that bought music from Yahoo's Music Store. These industries that don't seem to care about their customers are the reason they're losing customers by the dozen. If they keep letting them down, those customers will, one by one, switch to the grey market to get what they want. I've long ago stopped buying music and movies. I never bought series. I just grab it all from torrents. If you have fast internet, such as cable or DSL, I would recommend finding a fansub. Fansubs are hardly ever discontinued (because if one group discontinues a series, another will pick it up) and they're free. And no censoring  |

The grass is always greener on the other side eh? Believe me when I say that Japan isn't heaven. Nor is the US, nor is Europe, nor is any other place. They all have their pros and cons. Japan is -really- expensive, and getting (and keeping) a job is very hard and stressful. I'd love to go there on vacation though.

And when I do I bes like, "OMG YOU ARE SO AWESOME!" and then glomp her. Yeah... That's my goal. |

You forget one thing with anime. Lots of paper work and the changing of hand and management on both ends of the equation. [shadow=red,left,300]The joys of beaurocaracy[/shadow] Or maybe the series was not gaining them any profit and they had to cut there losses. Too many factors. Aslo on another note on ADV; a few months ago they did not merge with Geneom (In my opinion it was due to liabity. ADV is very coropate in the anime world) |
