Why would you think this set would be drastically cheaper than the first? |

1 less episode (though about 50 less minutes since the first episode of the original box art was a double episode), so it makes sense to be slightly lower priced. Won't stop the haters though that think they should be able to buy anime right as it releases in Japan for American prices though.

Almost one hour per Blu-ray and that's almost. It makes me feel dumb for thinking Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood part 1 was a good deal for having 4 Blu-ray discs with a total length of a mere 825 minutes. But it's space well exploited or well, exploited. Again, what's the point? Something's seriously wrong when it's easier to stream four episodes than it is to play a BD or two. Maybe three... Complain about the price? Hell, why can't they encode properly? They're not selling it seperately, they don't have to bleed the audience after they bought the set. |

Even if the encode uses every bit available to it, there are still a couple of hours available for a two-sided BD. Discs are only a few cents each, so any number of little considerations could've pushed them to do it that way.

The most likely being in that this is how BD releases are done in Japan. If you put a lot more episodes on one disc, there is no benefit to the publisher, and theres a potential for people to complain about why more releases don't put that many episodes on one disc. Why bother going down that route? |

They could also be planning on releasing singles later down the road, so they could just reuse these discs without issue.

Price complaints aside, am I the only one who was disturbed by this part of description:

When something's first released as a boxed set, rather than singles, you might have a point about putting more episodes on the discs. Are you advocating that every series get released in one-cours $450msrp boxed sets, so that there can be fewer discs for the same number of episodes? Or should they just double the price and put double the number of episodes on their singles?
Think of all the beautiful disc art, digipak art, and cover art that we'd be missing out on if there were fewer BDs in the set... ^^; |

Actually it isn't anything like what you might expect. |

This leaves me feeling... unsurprised. Also, unwilling to purchase it. Hopefully, there will eventually be a BD release with all 26 episodes for under $100. When that happens, I'll probably buy it, but not until then.

Maybe in a few years once they feel they can't wring out any more from the international markets, and the fervor in Japan has calmed down. |
