I'm a loser who watches anime and sometimes writes reviews on stuff.

I only have Evangelion and Chrono Crusade DVDs when it comes to ADV, so I'll have to take your word for it on top of doing Google searches to see how nice the releases at least looked. I should've looked closer at the DBZ movie VHS tapes for comparison, lol. The DVD releases Sentai's been doing really is baffling. I know that DVDs are basically on their way out now, but it doesn't mean it should be half-assed. I think it's just a result of recovering from ADV's closing and they just don't have access to the same resources. *shrugs* But those spindle cases are terrible, why are they even a thing? Who thought that was a great idea? It makes the DVD case for Samurai Pizza Cats look better in comparison, and I've just complained about the placement and the difficulty of getting some of the discs out (freaking stupid flower button-thingy whatever it's called where you can't just push down on it, you have to do something else).
(Wait, didn't the Elfen Lied DVD release do the spindle case as well?)
CLANNAD was one of the first dubs Sentai did when they took over for ADV, and I think they inherited the same financial problems, so they had to make do with what they could. Wouldn't have hurt to proofread, though--I at least imagine doing the subtitles is something that could be done at home, or is at least done in a room with little to no distractions.
I heard the subtitles on the DVD were terrible, although I haven't really sat down to watch the official subs all the way through. I only watched it subbed (fairly recently during a rewatch) on episodes 12-14 of the first season, but I didn't notice anything that made me double-take. The subtitles that briefly pop up to translate the kanji on-screen aren't too bad, but that's about it, lol. I personally don't like the subtitles font anyway, but they're not terribly distracting. Maybe if I'm bored one day, I'll pop a disk in and set it for sub to see for myself. (I got mine from Amazon, so they were like $40-50 each, but I wanted them so bad for my birthday a few years ago, lol. I don't have a Blu-Ray player either, though apparently the PS3 can play them, and I don't know if my Macbook can play them, too.)
