His point, I believe, is that sets represent the future for anime DVD releases...the single DVD (whether it has 3, 4, or 5 episodes), with high speed/broadband access becoming widespread, is becoming less popular. He also warned that there will still be difficulties since it will be impossible for companies to sell sets at the same price level as season sets for US TV series. Finally, he mentioned that the current licensing model limits the US anime companies, but it is up to the Japanese companies to revise the licensing scheme. @ Haesslich & Andrew

Paying 30 bucks for three episodes is freaking insane! How about 10 eps for 30 bucks. I agree with Haesslich. Paying 30 bucks for three episodes is freaking insane! How about 10 eps for 30 bucks.

Interestingly, manga sales in Japan have been declining...at least print manga. However, e-manga has been gaining popularity there.If I get the time, I may actually look at anime and manga sales in other countries. @ Julie Ho
