>how new are you to this whole anime thing sempai?

if you mean buying anime yes im a newfag to that.

>Japanese bds
>2-3 episodes
>$120

>Western release
>Full series
>$30

How do the Japs deal with this? Why haven't they died off of rage?

>>149672834
Western releases are barebones when it comes to jap releases.

Still, the model is broken as fuck and that's why the industry is about to crash

>>149672935
>buy TV series
>get all episodes of said series
What more do you want?

>>149672834

>poorly done dub
>poorly done subs

The medium you are consuming is niche as fuck. It takes the hardcore otaku nippon yen to maximize their returns, since they are targeting only them, and it takes 300k USD for a single episode iirc,

TLDR Watch Shirobako you lazy fuck

Jap BDs often come with artbooks, the OST and BD extras like commetary tracks, deleted scenes and other shit while murrican BDs are just the episode with a horrile Runi dub and a trancript of the dub as "subtitles"

>jap BDs
>all sorts of irrelevant garbage and toys pandering to manic manchildren to try and fail to justify the absurd price tag

>Western release
>Exactly what you wanted for a fair price and you can disable the subs if you're such an interpreter pro

Funi devs, please go and stay go

>sempai
Looks like you're new to the thing, too. First of all, it's "senpai". Second, "kouhai" would've been more proper. You're the older one, with the supposed wisdom, right? You're HIS senpai.

if jap buyers had a choice, which one would they pick the most?

Anime producers complain about lack of sales

They could easily put an entire season on 1 Bluray, but they choose to try and jew.

>Shirobako

is this show any good? the grills are qt3.14 a fuck, but I think i watched a preview for it and it seems boring as fuck.

>>149673495
Actually, sempai is older than senpai.
The spelling was changed a while ago because reasons.

Quality>Quantity

>>149673729

The spelling changed because the original transliteration system was fucked up and not worth using.

If you think the ん in 先輩 sounds anywhere near an "n" you seriously need to end yourself

>>149675386
Actually most japs pronounce it close to "n"

>>149675663
>The pronunciation can also change depending on what sounds surround it. These are a few of the ways it can change:
>[n] (before n, t, d, r, ts, z, ch and j )
>[m] (before m, p and b )
>[ŋ] (before k and g)
>[ɴ] (at the end of utterances)
>[ũ͍] (before vowels, palatal approximants (y), consonants h, f, s, sh and w)
>[ĩ] (after the vowel i if another vowel, palatal approximant or consonant f, s, sh, h or w follows.)
