It is a waste of shelf space, inconvience to buy and carry around, and the worst of all, the waste of precious resources. Shouldn't the corporation be subjected to the same conservation standard as individual? IMO, corporations which blatanly waste material should be fined by EPA or something.
I think you -might- be blowing things a little out of proportion.. and maybe grasping at some straws. There are companies *cough* Viz *cough* who release 100+ episode series on 3 episode volumes.... at almost double the price of Gantz volumes. If anything is a waste of resources, it is that... and even then I wouldn't call it a waste of resources, as it's not like they're ending up in a landfill somewhere like disposable cleaning items.. or, disposable anything for that matter.
Personally, I'll like having to wait half as much time between volumes... as it's always nice to have something coming in the mail from my pre-orders... even if it is only 2 new episodes.
Also, I love box art, so I'll be more than happy to dedicate a shelf to the Gantz boxes if they keep making them that nice.
