Oh good God, can't they just leave it @ 4 eps per disc like Ghost in the Shell TV? WTF?!
I can see why some companies would want to just 'milk' out a series if it's only 12 eps and then force it to 3 eps per volume to make it 4 volumes at around 15-20 [it BETTER BE THAT MUCH IN USD$$]
But if it's 20+ eps and you're going for 3 per dvd, then you're just being a greedy bastard...
Imagine Naruto and Inuyasha... YIKES...
Best deals I've seen are the saga packs like Virtua Fighter and Zenki. Sure it's not the best or the new but for $48, you get SEVERAL HOURS worth of anime... They're not even that bad and my friends who've seen the other video games - turned - anime agree that VF TV is great since it doesn't take itself too seriously... [Street Fighter and such, how you FAILED ME!!! ;_;]
