I hate to break it to Funimation but this grinds my gears so much I have to Rant about it.
I’m so disappointed about this that I’ve made a list of what they did wrong with Slayers Revolution. First the bad then the good, because I care about making our anime better.
OK……what I’m not happy about:
1. Why did you acquire rights to it and wait an entire year and a half to release the DVD? Honestly why?
2. Why the Slimpack? It’s cheap sure but I feel kind of burned by this….
3. OK this show was aired in 720p in Japan on Tokyo TV don’t BS me I Saw it Air and its been pointed out all over the net.
4. DVD resolution is weak, aspect ratio is lacking, sound quality is poor at times, and menus are poor handling, I’ve seen better Hentai menus, I’m sorry but it’s true.
5. Subtitles lacking, I know most Americans don’t like it literal but please we are not that daft.
6. Back to point 3, this release should be in BluRay, as should most new anime Shows being released out here. Why no BluRay, or Combo pack? This release should be in 1080p and full, not cropped and shoved on DVD. I’m sorry but SONY would never release Paprika in the U.S. on just DVD they do both formats for the the justice of the artists and fans.
List of things I like about this DVD:
1. The English cast is great, thanks for bringing in the classics!
2. Its the slayers revolution!
3. Entire Series in one box for one price
Funimation please release anime as it was in Japan, you will never beat fansubs with low resolution releases. The fans demand bigger, faster and better, give it to them, you have the rights! Do us Great Justice!
