Interesting. I wanna see where the subbed-only part goes, like if they're talking about fighting back against Sentai's licensing spree, I'm all for it as long as it's not the same awful DVD-only stuff as well, but looking at how this year was rampant with Dub/DVD releases, it probably will be.
Also noticed there was virtually nothing about simulcasts. I would have loved to put my two cents in about the "simul" part, but they've probably heard enough about that by now. |

Yeah, I'm interested in seeing where the sub-only part goes as well. I wouldn't mind having another company do sub-only releases for series that wouldn't otherwise likely earn a dub.
Chihayafuru, Chihayafuru, CHIHAYAFURU! Maybe if I say it enough times it'll finally come true. |

Here, I'll help... Chihayafuru, Chihayafuru, CHIHAYAFURU! What'd you all put for your top 5 buys in the last 3 years? Mine were: Princess Jellyfish, Toradora, Natsume's Book of Friends, Kimi ni Todoke, and Detroit Metal City. After I typed in my choices, I totally laughed at DMC. Oh Krauser, sneaking into my quiet, emotional anime. |

Mine were Aria, Utena, Pantsu Witches, Clannad, and Madoka. If Bakemonogatari had shipped out already, I probably would have put that in there, and if I had remembered that I bought Toradora in 2010, I'd have put that in there too. The section that was relevant to my interests was the part about what I'd do if a DVD was released and a BD was released up to a year later. I'd like to see them just straight up say at times that due to licensing demands, they just plain have to wait on a BD, that it is coming, but if you just plain can't wait, here's the DVD to tide those people over.

@Kyokun
Man, it was hard to sort out what was bought in the past 3 years to some degree, but I went with: Simoun, Tekkaman Blade, Digimon, Fist of the North Star, and Martian Successor Nadesico. Those are things I'm sure I bought in the past year or so, some things I wasn't sure if I'd bought them 2 or 3, or 4 or more years ago. Digimon is clearly massively nostalgic, but the other 4 are great shows that I wish more people knew of. Three of the five releases were sub only series (and with Nadesico, I watched it sub, Digimon was obviously dub, for nostalgia and the set only having dub) |

CHIHAYAFURU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I chose: Garden of Sinners, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Natsume's Book of Friends, Serial Experiments Lain. While Lain hasn't been released yet, I do have the Geneon release (which I'll end up selling), and seeing how the visual elements were a big draw for me, I'm very happy to be able to own a remastered (in true HD, no upscale here!) version of the show, so I put it on there. And to all you gals who talked up Natsume, a big thank you. I bought it because of you (and for the backpack if you buy it through NISA) and I'm thoroughly enjoying the show. |

And as a dub fan I hope that sub-only question goes nowhere, just like it always does. It's nice knowing there is at least one company out there that I can rely on to put out a dub 100% of the time; good ones at that. I really don't think we need another company throwing out sub-only stuff when Sentai seemingly grabs everything and NISA picks up what's left from them. Between those two companies there's a really good chance Chihayafuru will come out, and so there's no need to hope Funimation tries out sub-only stuff so it has slightly better odds. Oh, and lets not forget Discotek. If Love*Com goes well they could try to grab more recent stuff.
I was scanning my shelves trying to figure out what I had bought in the last years, and then I remembered pretty much my entire collection is from the last three years and that I could put down most anything. I went: Panty and Stocking Madoka Magica Highschool of the Dead Gurren Lagann Moribito I didn't do it on purpose, but I ended up putting shows from different companies. I do kind of wish I would've put AnoHana instead of Moribito now that I think about it, though. |

One more time!!!! CHIHAYAFURU!!!!!!!! ...please?
I put Princess Jellyfish on my top five list along with OHSHC (blu-ray complete collection), NANA, Paradise Kiss (which I just finished collecting last month. It was pricey but worth it), and Tiger and Bunny (I'm getting episodes as they come out on itunes.) |

I don't think I would mind too much them releasing a few sub only shows if they released them on Blu Ray and not DVD only.
My top 5 buys in the past 3 years are: Toradora Hayate The Combat Butler Maria Watches Over Us Kimi Ni Todoke Bunny Drop |

My top five anime I've bought in the last three years:
Revolutionary Girl Utena Now and Then, Here and There AnoHana Natsume's Book of Friends Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood I guess what they can surmise from that is I'm a supporter of the releases from Nozomi and NIS America, though I still buy more mainstream anime as well. I also wrote that I'd rather they be honest when they need to wait to release titles on Blu-ray. After all, any anime fan who's had access to the internet has likely heard about all the reverse-importation fears between Japan and the U.S., so most fans would probably be more understanding with Blu-ray release delays if FUNi were just upfront about it from the start.
To be honest, even if FUNimation were to start releasing sub-only sets, I'd still rather see NIS America get Chihayafuru than FUNi. Chihayafuru deserves some special treatment, and the NISA packaging for it would likely be gorgeous. |

They wanted me to list the first DVD I ever bought? Which was when I was in high school, over 12 years ago?

I went with these five:
Fantastic Children Bunny Drop Toradora! Azumanga Daioh Princess Jellyfish That was such a hard question.
Same here. There are a lot of shows like that out there, like Wandering Son and Hanasaku Iroha (I honestly have no idea why these still haven't been licensed). |

I found that first DVD I bought question hard also. I've been buying since VHS days. I shifted to DVD as soon as I could. I have no idea what the first purchase was. Anyone know what was the first anime to come out on DVD?
