Well someone's intolerant. Your attitude is exactly the kind of thing that NISA was afraid of. They did nothing wrong and you are complaining about a recap episode being excluded. They would have put it in if it was financially viable but it wasn't, but that's just not good enough for you now is it. |

CrownKlown: At least NISA is being completely honest here. Very few companies (let alone anime companies) are this honest anymore, so for that, I give NISA credit for. This level of honesty and openness is hardly ever seen these days, so I find this very refreshing to be able to see this again. I've been buying NISA games for over a decade and recently started buying their anime as well. You have to remember though, while NISA is a large video game company, in terms of anime, that section isn't as large. If including this recap episode was financially feasible, NISA would include that with the DVD, but at least that is all that being omitted form this DVD. It's not that I don't see where your coming from, but I also see this from NISA's point of view as well. |

I have some reservations with this explanation myself.
By NISA's projected release date of the second set, the Japanese BD release will have been out for a little over six months. Certainly NISA was apprised of the inclusion of the 16th episode in that release even before then. US companies used to be able to get 3 or 4 full DVD singles of a series released during that same time period. NISA can't append one single episode somewhere on one of the discs in that amount of time? As a (mostly) recap episode, I don't imagine it even needed much translation or script-work at all. I know nothing about DVD/BD production or release timelines, but I still think they could and should have been able to get it on there if they really wanted to. This was their initial explanation on their forums: "We're not including the recap show because it's just that - a recap. It doesn't have any new content (and the "next episode" preview for the previous episode skips right over it) so in the interest of saving time and resources, we decided not to include it. A recap episode makes sense for TV, when each episode has a week-long gap in between, but it's not quite as necessary when you can literally watch one episode right after the other." http://nisamerica.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8209 I believe that... aside from the fact that the episode does include some original content, as I understand it. And even if it didn't, IIRC it's unheard of to omit recaps in American releases. What a fun new precedent. I'm still disappointed, though the new response makes up for it at least a little. =/ |

I am defiantly going to buy this series as a Limited edition now. I don't care that much about the recap episode I was somewhat annoyed by it when it first came out fan subbed. this is one of my favorite series and I wasn't sure if I wanted to pay that much for it though. but now I want to also support NIS due to their honesty and sincerity. we don't know how long ago the discs for this release started to be made so I don't think we can really comment on that portion of the problem, I want to show them thanks for dealing with me in such a respectful manner, for a minor problem that was not there fault.

When I watch an anime again, I usually watch every episode in order, so I'm disappointed to hear that this release will be incomplete, but at least NIS gave a plausible explanation. I don't really remember this episode, but if it was important enough to broadcast, it is important enough to include on DVD.
Also, surely I'm not the only person who noticed that there is a typo in the article's title? |

That's not how it works. Recap episodes are only important in that it gives the staffers a breather week to catch up on things. They ostensibly allow viewers who are new to the broadcast a chance to catch up on what has happened. Recap episodes are never important enough to be put on the DVD (although they almost always are), unless the episode has significant new content. |
