WTF?
I just realized that Sony’s domestic release of Kurozuka was available, so I was about to purchase it, along with Ultraviolet: Code 044 and Viper’s Creed when I realized that all three releases are English dubbed only. Really, Sony? After the botched debacle of a failed Cyborg 009 domestic release and a sub-par Blood+ DVD release, you still haven’t learned how to get it right? You actually expect American consumers to purchase dubbed only, made-on demand DVDRs at the same cost as purchasing equal length replicated Blu-ray releases from smaller distributors such as Media Blasters, FUNimation, and Sentai Filmworks?
No thank, Sony. I really love Kurozuka, and I’m only a handful away from completing my collection of every anime title released on commercial American DVD, but I won’t support dub-only DVDs. I’ll bitterly go without official Kurozuka DVDs before I encourage the continued release of sub-par, over-priced domestic anime releases.

I can’t say I blame you. I actually bought it. It is a gorgeous video and audio encode but not only is there no Japanese audio there are also no subtitles, so the play at the beginning of every episode and all the signs are untranslated. There are no special features not even previews and you get one chapter per episode, so you have to use the fast forward button if you want to, for example, skip the OP. I am most disappointed.
Blowme’s probably taking it out on people who didn’t give a damn about Legend of the Millennium Dragon. =p This is an even shittier deal than that S’More Bobobo debacle.
wonder how much it costs though if I had money I’d support dub only just to stick it to the people who bitch about how sub are better then dubs yeah right if there were only subs I’d never get any of my friends to watch anime hell one of my friends is an anime fan yet he can’t stand listening to Japanese DUB only beats the hell outta SUB only isn’t that right SENTAI FILM WORK’S or was it some other company whatever it’s okay for sub only but not dub only you got the internet
tee: Each set costs $35-$40, if you’re game. 🙂
These were all sub-par anime anyway. No big lose.
