I could care less about the article itself, I'm more interested in the abusive moderator in the comments.
Oh hey, it's the guy with the ANN hate boner. How's it going buddy you having a nice Sunday multi posting about that site?
I might get the limited edition for that Barbatos. The pearly white looks really good on that mold, though nubs are probably going show like a motherfucker.

Shit thread aside, I can't help but feel this confirms something I've suspected for awhile now. That the Rightstuf releases weren't meant to help reestablish the brand in NA, rather a means to milk the NA fanbase. Now with IBO, the show Bandai wants to be the new hotness, they looked like they've switched to a bigger, more well-known distributor in order to get it into more stores.
Nice will nice to see Gundam in stores for once.

>ANN hate boner
As opposed to not hating ANN? I don't understand.
Weren't we recently celebrating that Bandai was finally cutting out the middleman?
>>15659827
Yes.
It's entirely price reliant. If it's less than RightStuf's releases, that's a good thing. If it's not, we're getting fragmentation.
So what's the usual price for Funimation BDs?
Is it like Aniplex and their $400.00 3 episode BDs?
>>15659837
if I recall properly Funimation's Blu-Rays are usually in the 20-40 dollar price range, depending on how much content is on them, among other factors
>>15659847
FUNi's Blu-Rays are usually really affordable, but their collector's release is probably gonna be around $100 if Code Geass and Escaflowne are any indication.
Wait. Are they redubbing it as well or just releasing the blurays... Because I cant take another funi redub after escaflowne.

>Funi licenses worst gundam for North America
But it's been licensed. For a while.
>>15659557
Fuck off to MAHQ
I thought this already aired on toonami? (And didn't do well)
>>15659858
>worst gundam
Thats objective
>>15659862
It did, iirc. I think Funi's banking on it doing good in home videos, which I personally highly doubt it will.
I would be shocked if it did anywhere close to Rightstuf Wing re-release later this year, personally. Doesn't America have a very strong loving relationship with Wing?
>>15659870
america fucking loves wing and G.
They are correct in doing so.
>>15659855
Don't really need the collector's edition though
>>15659040
>I could care less
easiest way to spot an ameritard
What the fuck? Well these sets are going to look awkward sitting next to my rightstuf Gundam collection. I guess RS's license of "every Gundam" only meant currently existing ones.
