Welcome to Madman Australia/New Zealand. They already have a Monopoly over here on anime. And we are paying for it dearly.
Hardly. Madman's prices are actually quite reasonable, especially if you buy off the shelf from an authorised retailer (like JB) as opposed to off their site, which is a few dollars more + shipping.
Also, they do great specials at least twice a year, like at the moment they have a 30% off box set special for wholesale buyers; I've scored three complete series for $110.
not when you count the fact that your getting ripped off by extra's you don't get vs the ones you get with the US releases. I can get them from the US for the same cost via fedex which has it landed on my door 4-5 days later.

Funimation is getting tooooooooooooooo much titles now.. DD:
I have to agree. They're going to hinder the industry, more than help it, by flooding anime in all directions, and monopolizing every title.

Plus dubs aren't a problem as I don't watch them but even so Funi seems to have the upperhand.

Is it just me, or is FUNi slowly taking over the world, and creating a monopoly?
This was on the forums at ANN, and I'm starting to agree:
1. Buy Geneon's titles.
2. Buy ADV's titles.
3. Buy Bandai's titles.
4. Take over the world.
Hmm, only two more to go.
oh god please no.
Bandai will survive. :<

At the funimation panel they announced pretty much all of these titles including the Geneon releases are theirs now. They also said that they are working with ADV and Geneon to ensure continuity in box design, and dubbing (they said they will continue using whatever VA's were on the series already), so it'll be like nothing ever happened, just a brief interruption and a different logo somewhere on the box. YAY ^_^
I'm hoping it'll be like before...I've been hesitant to buy the artbox + DVD for Wallflower because I had no idea if Funimation would change the format of the releases or just have a boxed set or who knows what.

When will Yotsuba&! come out?
I want to know about the ongoing ADV manga series too. Hopefully Yen Press or Del Rey pick them up.

does this mean Kanon vol 6 won be release ?
No, volume 6 will see a release although there is no concrete date for it yet. I posted earlier in the thread that Funimation is in talks with ADV for them to finish ongoing titles so there won't be any dub changes.

On the other hand, it's not like I buying a lot anime DVDs... They are quite expensive, so I think twice before, and end up buying a game instead...
