I think we all have families to feed, well most of us anyway. I know they are a company that loves to suck that money out of you. By today's standards a dvd should hold 5 to 6 episodes unlike the DBZs and not charge you 40 bucks for 6 to 7 episodes like the Fruits Baskets.
How many other series out there are putting more than 3-4 Episodes per DIsc? ADV sure doesn't (they put 5 on one DVD and the rest will be 3 or 4), Pioneer isn't (X TV is 24 episodes @ 8 DVDs). Bandai does for their really long series...But for the rest of their series', they're putting the regular 6 DVD full series sets, which sort of defeats the purpose of having those initial high episode counts... The only example I can really think of having a consistent high count of episodes would be Manga's FOTNS DVDs @ 7 episodes per DVD. As for Fruits Basket's steep price, it costs $160 total for 26 episodes, which seems to be a fairly normal new series price...and even then, if you do the smart thing and check DVD Price Search, you'd find that they're as cheap as $28 with Free Shipping. Last but not least, if you bother to check out the newer DBZ DVDs, they're done very well as well. I don't even find the Dub as grating as it used to be (Freeza saga), they're also completely uncut, with Japanese Track, good subtitles, etc etc etc.
I think you need to stop Funi Bashing as it seems to be completely unfounded.
