Not everyone buys anime DVDs for the dubs. It's true that that can be a large factor (since really that's what your paying for given you can get the sub online for free), but there are people who will buy them simply to support the industry. I think the Higurashi dub is awful but I bought the individual DVDs and I intend to double dip on the second or third release as well depending on which one winds up with the better packaging.

Anyway, I think this is great news, I love BakaTest and if they get that out on DVD then I'll be all over that.

Why would anybody buy something just to support something? That's terrible. If I buy anything I only buy stuff I really love. That applies to games only pretty much.

Because it profits the company whenever you buy their products (If you buy a lemonade from a stand that producer gets your cash therefore you just supported their finance.

Simple as that.

So you buy shit so companies can produce even more pieces of shit?

Yeah in a nutshell.

If a product doesn't get good sales it's either

A. Priced down (Like Funi did with Burst Angel, and Big Windup!)

B. The company stops production/distribution on the title altogether (Like Funi did with Kodocha)

You must like to waste money if you enjoy buying pieces of shit.

One cut anime and all those years of good non-cut anime are forgotten.

So you know what , they could have easily cut Fullmetal Alchemist and got it on Toonami but they didn;'t. When was the last time Funi released a cut DVD before Dance in the Vampire Bund, huh, tell me Drunk Samurai. You say all their releases are shit so you must have followed every release.

Yes, cutting anime is wrong, but it isn't like they do this to every series ever like you say.

And dang it 99% of all anime DVDs have subtitles.

We were talking about Geneon not Funimation. Though if Funimation does keep it edited then I support a full boycott of everything they do just because censorship is bullshit.

No we were talking about how/why Funi has stopped some productions.

ADV/Sentai is actually getting back up on their feet pretty well nowadays.

companies like funimation are the plague of the anime society: again an american firm trolling over japanese media... nothing new there>.<

it could have been another nations company as well, but this is just one fine example of censorship: USA only streaming, and americanizing anime

I hope they sailor moon this anime as well....

-the day funimation owns Geneon entertaiment japan is the day anime dies

I just went to RightStuf, thinking about pre-ordering this and I am confused about the DVD/Blu-ray combo. I don't have any Blu-Ray players or an X-Box or anything that can play blu-ray but I'm starting to have doubt buying this because I refuse to buy any anime that is censored. (Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh are an exception for me, since they're the only ones come out in english dub and there's no way in hell they'll release a bilingual DVD)
They better release an uncut version. I don't see the point in releasing a censored version when it never aired in America. I don't even think it even aired on FUNimation's TV channel yet.

Looks like this anime is gonna be "on-hold" on my future anime DVD list.

I really don't know why they would release an edited version of Dance in Vampire Bund. It really doesn't make sense. They had no problem releasing Sekirei uncensored last November. It's not a show that some 8-year kid would grab instantly when he's in a store(although it would be really close to the Dragon Ball DVD/Blu-Rays).

As for Baka to Test, I'll hold off until I can watch a dubbed episode on their site(since they usually upload the first episode).
