Anime is NEW, it's HOT, and everyone wants it. People have not yet realized that they DON'T have to own each and every show. Buy a show if you will actually watch it multiple times. Don't buy a show to put it on your shelf. If you have the buy-to-put-on-shelf mentality then you're currently pissed off with the prices for legitimate Anime DVDs.
lol I have bought far too many shows that I haven't watched since forever ago and when I try to watch them...I just can't do it. I'd save a hell of a lot of money if I could just buy certain things. I think the only thing I have going for myself right now is that I don't have to have a special edition set or a box...cept for Gravi cuz the box is the shizzy ^-^
Oh, I can say that I'm not upset with the prices because I can get around them. If you can wait and search around, it's easy to get a good deal on Ebay, trading sites, and even DeepDiscountDVD every now and then. That's a major reason I stopped collecting HK for region 1 stuff. For instance, I had the Noir HK and I think I paid like 30 bucks. Then I sold it and got my $30 back and bought the whole Region 1 set totally new and shrinkwrapped for $50. I know everyone doesn't have an extra $20 all of the time but if you're going to buy something anyways and invest in it, why not just get the best quality you can for a little bit more money? Btw, I'm in college, pay my own way, and I'm not indebt and have food to eat. So I don't think it's entirely impossible for every person.

And back to the HK...what I kinda don't get is...well I do understand that people are upset just because of the fact that stuff was removed but you can always buy from somewhere else. There are so many sites that have about the same prices and stock as here and also ship internationally.
