We're damn lucky -anyone- had the guts to license Gantz, not to mention license it and release it UNCUT and UNCENSORED. A dog lick's the main girl's junk for crying out loud! Price aside, it's ludicrous and obnoxious. That's the same number of volumes as Fruits Basket, Irresponsible Captain Tylor, and His and Her Circumstances R1 combined, all of which are the same 26 episodes as Gantz. 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.

Most people with that problem would just think pack the DVDs. The bottom line is that they are not subject to those conservation laws and their going to release it how they want so chill... ![[Image: IA.jpg]](http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y276/DragonWolfJD/IA.jpg) 'The depths of my soul are rooted in dark thoughts.

But that many DVDs would be -heavy- for such a widdle guy to carry... even thinpak'd. Plus, think of all the plastic trees they're destroying! They probably use baby seal eyes to make the DVDs, too.

Where do you think plastic is coming from? Out of thin air? It is a by-product of petroleum processing. No oil means no plastics. How about DVDs? It is mainly made of aluminum. Do you think there is endless supply of aluminum? Why do you think we recycle alumnium cans? How about all the extra packaging that's going to be thrown away?

If less people buy Gantz, Adv will not repeat the same BS practice again. If you want to support that kind of release practice. Go right ahead and buy it. But I am not supporting it, and I hope there are plenty others.

I never had any intention of buying it personally. But here?s the thing yes you can refuse to buy it but that's all you can do. People will do what they want irregardless of your choice and that?s the bottom line. If the sales are shitty they may or may not continue that practice only time will tell and that?s all up to many consumers not just a few.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to slip into my baby panda head slippers, and drive my SUV around the city for a few hours.

Have fun wearing your imaginary slipper and driving your imaginary hummer. With that attitude, the next series will be released in 26 discs for one episode a piece.
