They are releasing it like this, because they decided they would try something different. They wanted to see if their sales would be better or worse if they released a series with 2 episodes per disc, but a reduced price from their usual $29.99. They released 2 episodes for $17.98. Certainly not as good a deal as 4 for $29.99 but much better than the 3 for $29.99 that you get with some series. When you look at it in a logical way like that, it doesn't seem so bad does it?

You and other anime fans here might not realize it, but you're the minority. All you people who post and bitch on anime boards are not the majority. So even if 90% of people on boards bitched about it, it didn't make a difference. You're not the majority who are contributing to their sales. And they are a business. Their bottom line is to maximize profit.

So you don't have to buy the series from ADV if you don't want to, but please don't say you're not buying it because of the way they released it. Just say you were looking for any excuse for you to rationalize to yourself why you would purchase the HK's over the R1's.
