It kind of confuses me, what were you expecting? I haven't seen any anime series that has that many episodes for a lower price. (New ones, at least.)

@Lobster:
…
Where is my trailer, RomanGod? Did you lie?
The trailer. In http://www.funimationfilms.com/. You said you saw it. I thought you didn't.
-
Yeah, it really is. We're talking about a 300+ episode series. That's a major investment.
I'll pay up to $5 an episode for a short anime series, but Funi has to be out of their flipping mind if they think I'm going to shell out fifty bucks for 13 episodes of an ongoing shonen manga series.
$2 an episode. Maybe $2.50, just because it's One Piece. I could accept a $30 set and I'd be all over a $25 set. But there's no way in hell I'm paying $50.
Not that I expect anybody to actually sell them for $50. I'll bet the average store price will be $45 and the online price will be $40, but that's still too much. I break at $30.
Well, like I said, it's not just FUNi who does this. Nor is One Piece the only shonen series with this type of DVD plan. The whole anime industry is too expensive. But that's just how it is.

how many episodes do you get with a Naruto boxed set? Looks like some of them are just as expensive if not more:

Some of you guys are really something else. :getlost:
I'd have to agree with you…
"Why buy something when we can get it for free?!"
Honestly I don't see what the big deal is. If you can shell out 50 to 70 dollars for a video game you can buy the box sets. It's not that hard.
-
how many episodes do you get with a Naruto boxed set? Looks like some of them are just as expensive if not more:
The same. It's the same exact plan.
-
Oh well… hey it could be worse, we could be Naruto fans paying $60

Haaa… that trailer was longer. Whoo ;o I just saw the short one.
Anyway, hopefully the DVDs will drop in price after a while... if we just wait another year or two :x

That's why you buy used games…
And the new ones I get are generally $39.99, or $29.99.
But then again, I don't buy games too frequently anyway. -

Looks like I need to step into this again. And I want to apologize in this advance: I may be starting something, but I need to get this off my chest.
To be honest, I look at the R1 DVD pricing for One Piece as a bargain. If anything, it's rather unexpected to see a company to release a show in Boxset format, rather than singles. For that matter, at that price. Most companies tend to release 3 to 5 episodes per DVD, ranging from price point from $19.99 to $29.99, and in some RARE cases $39.99. When you compare that to $49.99 for 13 episodes, you guys are getting off easy. Not to mention, stores will sometimes cut some of the price off, so you might be able to actually find the boxsets as low as $40 if you know where to look right.
The thing is, you guys do not have the right to complain about the price point. Infact, you guys weren't complaining back in April when the prices were announced. I actually thought the idea was well welcomed. I find this rather strange. Another reason you guys do NOT have the right to complain about the prices, if the fact, as an Importer on R2 DVDs (although, I stay clear from long series), this price point is a VERY FAIR one. If you compare the R2 Japanese DVDs for One Piece to the R1 DVD pricepoint, you might want to have a sigh of relief.
The R2 DVDs for One Piece are typically around 3800-4800yen (Which is roughly $35-$45). Typically, the price point can be for maybe 3 episodes, perhaps even 4 episodes. In some cases, Toei will only put on 2 episodes for a DVD. Yet, the price still remains rather high.
I know we aren't in Japan, and things tend to be pricer there, but the fact remains is that the US release is getting a sigh of relief, both in the way it's being released, and compared to importing the Japanese R2 DVDs.
To those complaining and saying they'd rather download fansubs than pay for these. All I want to say if, and I know this comment may start something, and I honestly do not want to say this, but this is purely my opinion: You guys are solely nothing but a thief, and all you do is complain about something even after you guys get the treatment you always wanted to get for the series.
It's true, I do download the fansubs weekly, and I am providing these captures. The reason I'm doing the captures is solely because there are people who want to see the series that live overseas, live in canada, or another area that they can't see the dub. I'm also trying to do it as a reasonable size, for those who don't have as fast as a connection to others. One other reason I'd rather not do HQ captures: I'd rather people go after the offical DVD release (yes, I know the TV captures are edited, but the case remains: People want better quality in the end) for that. Not my encodes.
The other thing that remains, is if the people enjoy what they see on the captures, there is a good chance the people in the foreign regions may import the dub dvds. Just because you live in another region, doesn't mean you can't still get these dvds easily. You just need to look around on the net for some DVD Hardware solutions for the Region Encoding issues. I'm sure there are people here who know how to work around this issue.
Also… I... Just don't understand it. You guys were so freaking happy to see FUNimation get One Piece, than all of a sudden you guys turn a 180 not even a week after it debutes. Then you guys seem to have a death wish to FUNimation for the price point you guys knew many months ago. I hate to say this as well: But I'm slowly starting to see "Narutardism" slowly creepy up in the One Piece community here.
Well, that's my opinion on the whole matter. Thankyou...

Indeed and doesn't that make all the difference?

okay just FYI, if it's true that 4Kids started with just 3 episodes on their DVDs and they're 17.99 that's like $6 an episode. They ended with 5 on a DVD I guess which would be $3.50 so to Mr "i'd rather buy 4Kids DVDs" you'd be paying more per episode then. It's actually cheaper to buy the Funi box sets PLUS you get English and Japanese audio tracks AND uncut stuff.
The R2 DVDs for One Piece are typically around 3800-4800yen (Which is roughly $35-$45). Typically, the price point can be for maybe 3 episodes, perhaps even 4 episodes. In some cases, Toei will only put on 2 episodes for a DVD. Yet, the price still remains rather high.
ARE YOU SERIOUS? I assumed OP got like 13 episode DVD box sets over there just like we do… holy cow, now THAT'S extortion.
-
Actually never mind… whenever a new Soul Caliber or Kingdom Hearts is released, I immediately buy the $60 game and booklet (for pictures :D).
But then again… those come out what... ONCE every 3 years, maybe?
And something else I hate about Funi is… that they are so slow. Who knows how old I'll be by the time Arabasta gets released on DVD? The current people running Funimation will probably have already died from old age, and been replaced my their disciples.

That is expensive. DVDs in general are no laughing matter in Japan.
Why isn't this world an economic utopia? Why :'(And I've purchased a 24 episode Invader Zim box set for… 40 bucks, I think? Why do the prices vary so much? =/ Where is the consistency?

I've never once actually bought an anime show. I've only invested money on comics, that's it, so there's no comparison for me. I simply think that 50$ is too much considering the amount of actual footage on the tape. If what you're saying is true, then honestly, I'm not surprised at the amount of illegal downloading, and actually am surprised that these companies are able to make a penny off of anime fans.

From the time FUNimation got the rights up until the first episode aired, I didn't care about anything. I simply wanted to watch the show and buy the DVD's when they were released, so it's a massive buzzkill for me to find out the DVD's are actually expensive. But like I said, I have nothing to compare it to, but does that make it crazy to want a good price for 13 episodes?
The only DVD's I've bought were the Family Guy DVD's, and there was tons of footage on that. It would take someone maybe 2 weeks to finish that DVD if they were a moderate fan of the series and watched 1~3 a day. Maybe I've just been spoiled by that, but I have to ask, does FUNimation really spend more money on dubbing a show than it takes Family Guy to animate and voice act, adding in music, special features, and quadruple the episodes?
Also… I... Just don't understand it. You guys were so freaking happy to see FUNimation get One Piece, than all of a sudden you guys turn a 180 not even a week after it debutes.

Well, that's my opinion on the whole matter. Thankyou...
That's ridiculous. I don't hate FUNimation. I watch the dub every week, and I'm honestly proud as hell to have FUNimation dub One Piece.
Am I not allowed to think the price of a DVD is complete bull? Does that make me an OPTard?
I'll show you Narutardism.
then you go and buy your shitty 4Kids DVDs and we'll all be enjoying our amazing One Piece UNCUT sets with original names, Japanese voices optional, and several other awesome features. you WILL NOT be torrenting anything, I will be sure of it. I will report YOU YOURSELF to YOUR ISP if I have to. You will either BUY the DVDs or not watch them.
Have a nice day.
This is as close you're gonna get, so take a good look.
But like I said, I didn't know about the price range in April. Believe you me, if I did, we've had this settles months ago.

Well, like I said, it's not just FUNi who does this. Nor is One Piece the only shonen series with this type of DVD plan. The whole anime industry is too expensive. But that's just how it is.
Like I said, Wal-Mart sells Naruto boxsets for $25 bucks. I have to wait a while for them, but I'd rather wait than overpay.

When you compare that to $49.99 for 13 episodes, you guys are getting off easy.
That's because most of those series are relatively short. 20-50 episodes, all of high quality.
At $50 per box set, that means we'll be paying $20 for the Rainbow Mist arc. TWENTY DOLLARS FOR RAINBOW MIST! Another twenty for the post-Alabasta filler. And eleven bucks for for Goat Island. And Apis… THIRTY DOLLARS
You tell me right now that you want to spend $30 on the Apis arc.
Tell me you want to drop another $20 on the mid-Enies Lobby flashback episodes.Would you spend $100 on Apis, five filler episodes, Goat Island, Rainbow Mist, Ocean Dream, and five flashback episodes?
Not to mention, stores will sometimes cut some of the price off, so you might be able to actually find the boxsets as low as $40 if you know where to look right.
Still too high.
The thing is, you guys do not have the right to complain about the price point. Infact, you guys weren't complaining back in April when the prices were announced.
I seem to recall a fair amount of unhappyness over the price.

Everything seems fair to R2 because R2 always get crapped on for releases.

Yeah, the Japanese DVD market sucks ass. I'm still not paying more than $2.50 an episode. Just because they get raped in the ass doesn't mean I'm going to.

All I want to say if, and I know this comment may start something, and I honestly do not want to say this, but this is purely my opinion: You guys are solely nothing but a thief, and all you do is complain about something even after you guys get the treatment you always wanted to get for the series.
Agreed. I've no intention of paying that much, but that simply means I won't be buying their product.
Think about this. If One Piece ended this year at episode 336, that's twenty-six boxsets.
At $50 bucks a pop that's THIRTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS with at least a hundred of that going to crappy filler.The fact is that an average episode of One Piece is not worth as much as an average episode of some 26 episode show. We all know how shonen manga shows drag on. We can not and should not be expected to pay the same price per episode as we would a shorter series.

That's just how it is. The prices are like that because more often than not most shows hardly even break even.

-
Charagon, did you see what I said about the 4Kids DVDs and Naruto DVDs?
BTW I just sent this to Mike McFarland on animeondvd.com
Hi, I'm sure you probably get a lot of PMs and such, and to be honest I'm not quite sure how this site works but this is where I was told to go. I post a lot on Arlong Park and I also run the saveonepiece.com forums.
What I'm really writing about is to first off thank you for a good dub of One Piece. Hell a GREAT dub of One Piece. I don't watch a lot of anime at all, but I can tell you that the acting is top notch and all the voices have been perfect so far. I'm not just saying this because "it's better than 4Kids" either. I mean it IS but, so far it's surpassed all my expectations. I'm really impressed and I can tell you guys are working very hard so thanks. You even managed to turn me, a former Bellamy hater, into a Bellamy fan girl. Justin Cook was better than the original Bellamy by far.
But I'm sure you've heard it all before and I guess the best way to thank you is to buy the DVDs and I assure you I will buy at least two of every one that comes out.
Here's my big $100 question though:
I don't know how to ask this question without sounding ungrateful and I assure you I am not. I am asking this on behalf of several One Piece fans.
If we notice something in the edited dub such as a line or the way someone says a line that is extremely out of character for them, is there anyway to get it changed for the DVD release? I'm NOT talking about names either, I know all the original names will be on the uncuts (yay for Zoro and Ace)There is a subber of Funi reading the Arlong Park forums who has passed on notes to people about what some fans have noticed, but the same guy said to post here to make sure our voices get heard. I mean I myself, haven't noticed anything that has made me go "WHAT? How could they? I'm not buying the DVDs now!" but there are some concerns from other fans.
The only thing I noticed that somewhat bothered me was when Robin used Luffy's name to address him. At this point she should be calling the Strawhats by their titles. It's nothing I wouldn't stop buying the DVDs for but if it could be fixed, I'd really appreciate it.
So that's my question, again I'm asking on behalf of a lot of people. I was thinking of starting a topic somewhere about it where people can post what they think, but I don't want to just yet. I'm afraid it'll turn into just useless whining.
So yeah, if you can write back or address this somehow I will make sure everyone hears your answer and again thank you so much for such an enjoyable dub. I SO look forward to the DVDs and hopefully seeing movie 8 in the theater. crosses fingers for a Minneapolis release

Man, you guys would've imploded if you saw the pricing of anime home video releases ten years ago. ($30 two-episode Ranma 1/2 tapes FTW.

If you mean the original sets, they were actually more than that. One of them cost a good $120 for I think fifteen/twenty episodes.
There's also Geneon's (RIP) pricing of their boxsets as well. $200 Trigun boxet…whoo.
...hell, I remember paying $140 (Which went for $180 at Best Buy) for the Evangelion Perfect Collection, thinking I got a deal...only to have ADV release the remastered collection for $50 a few years later. Yeowch. :P

I think the people who don't want to shell out that much money for the DVDs would be satisfied if Funi set up a system where they could download the uncut episodes for a dollar an episode or something. Unless they think that's too expensive then they'd probably want the downloads to cost a penny an episode. XD
-
I doubt that anyone would jump at the chance for something like that I mean look at Napster (different things I know.)

True but I doubt Funi would just give them downloads for free. XD
-
Same thing here if it's not making you money or gaining you notierity
it ain't worth shit. -
Heck I don't even download fansubs anymore. So for me it would be either the DVDs or nothing, and I'd rather have the DVDs. Yeah it's the price of a new video game, but for that much uncut One Piece it's worth it to me.
-
Hey You buy or Don't Buy nobody can make you buy it and nobody
can call you out for not buying it, you're money,you're choice
simple as that. -

That's not entirely ridiculous they have a whole bunch of their properties on Itunes. I think it's like $1 and episode and $15 for the whole series.
-
Good God, I'm the one that started complaining about the price and look what I've done. I don't buy anime DVD's that often, so to me 13 episodes seems like a ripoff for $50. That's not to say that I won't be buying the DVD's, because I sure as hell will be. In fact it's almost hypocritical of me to complain considering I shelled out $75 for 3 episodes of Hellsing Unlimited.
Consider it just ignorant complaining. And since I'm buying the DVD's anyway, it's hypocritical and dumb of me to complain. So there, that's the deal. I'm upset about something that I'm just going to deal with anyway.
Quexi, thanks for sending that info out to Mike, especially the part about hoping for a Minneapolis release of Movie 8. I will take off school, work, everything, to go see it at the Landmark in the Twin Cities if it gets there (no doubt that's where it would most likely go).
Hell no, those numbers are for ME! Im going to use them to buy the rights to Sonic the Hedgehog so I can fix him ;_;
If we're talking about before 4kids mangled him to shit with his awful voice, then do it. But leave the SatAm stuff alone unless you'd bring us a 3rd season. Oh how I wish we could get a 3rd season of that show. . .
