"for the record"
Oct. 19th, 2010 12:32 pmAs someone who's wasted embarrassing amounts of money, time and energy in "anime fandom" over the past 25 years, I feel I can make all the blanket statements I want about the R1 anime industry, what there is of it. The same R1 anime industry that spent ten years filling Best Buy racks with junk. The same R1 anime industry that decided we needed "Melty Lancer" and "Magical Meow Meow Taruto", and has now been whittled down to a shadow of its former self. I figure I'm giving this "industry" pretty much the respect it deserves.
Money talks, BS walks. Right now my anime-manga cash, what there is of it, is going to Discotek and Vertical and The Right Stuf where my Dirty Pair DVD box is on pre-order.

ADV was supposed to release Giant Gorg and...I want to say Layzner, but the masters turned over to them were supposedly just crap, just horrible. Sounds like that fear of reverse importing hitting again.
