But that's only my opinion. If they *DO* release 
an okay SUBTITLED DVD copy of YuYu Hakusho, I 
will be buying it - but only where needed to fill 
in my very good condition, well-translated 
fansubs. It isn't YuYu I'm not interested in 
supporting - it's Funimation I would like to see 
go to hell.

Where Inuyasha is concerned, I have full faith in 
Viz's ability to bring over something better than 
decent. HOWEVER. . . If they pull what they've 
been doing with Ranma and release *three* *lousy* 
*episodes* per DVD, I will NOT be immediately 
buying anything I already have in fansub. I'll be 
waiting out a collected volume. ~_~

Only part of it is the amount of money. (Yes, 
it's spread over time, but that's still a lot of 
money!!)

The other half of the problem is SPACE. Which 
companies like Viz don't seem to realize is at a 
premium in my house. ~_~  I do not have unlimited 
room to keep 100 DVDs where 50 would suffice to 
hold the material. Anime companies are going to 
have to wake up and smell that particular blend 
of coffee if they want to keep my business and 
the business of others in the same position. ~_~  
Because the other thing I'm not going to try to 
do is buy all the DVDs as they come out and then 
lose more money dumping the individual discs to 
buy a later-released collected volume. My husband 
and I already need to do that for Ranma, and the 
question is looking to be "how much can we afford 
to spend to gain back the space eaten up by 
literally 150+ Ranma tapes".

The answer, when you're a new homeowner in a home 
that needs work and a petowner who's even more 
recently been through expensive geriatric care 
for two pets, is NOT MUCH.

Sorry. Hotbutton topic for me. . . Rant mode 
off. . . ^_^;  But in any event, if anyone here 
would like (or knows someone who would like) a 
well cared for and *complete* set of Ranma tapes 
for a good price, write me. (*laugh*)
