Crunchyroll CEO Rahul Purini responds to calls from Japanese anime production companies for increased revenue from selling their overseas distribution rights.
It can be expensive depending on the show. One of my favorite anime, The Legend of the Galactic Heroes, last printed DVDs in 2004. Enjoy dropping several hundred dollars for them. You can get the blu-rays but now you’re paying nearly a thousand.
I don’t disagree, but there person to whom I was replying said they were after legal copies. That means you’re going to pay for them, digital or physical. 🤷♂️
Imagine being a One Piece, Bleach or similar fan and wanting the full collection… 😬

I assume those would be 2nd-hand as well? Which kind of misses the point of wanting to support the creators since that money won’t be going to them.
Yes. That said, the blu-ray was something like $800 even when it was new.

Sure. I don’t mind paying. My blu-ray for one show shouldn’t be worth more than my car though.
