i agree that i was not terribly impressed with the video quality of noir, especially on the first disc (discs 2 and 3 seemed better). the thing is that MAC seems to take forever in getting their stuff out, and to me that's a big issue. jj seems to get at least 1 shipment from fx a week while mac seem few and far between. for releases that i don't buy in r1 i'd like to see as soon as i can because i've probably already seen it fansubbed and i much prefer watching stuff on my tv. as long as they keep playing for me i'll continue to buy them, but if there is something better i just don't have that FX brand loyalty that maybe flora is banking on.
