Didn't really feel like watching it, no offense.

The starting picture alone was bad enough for me unless it was ment as a joke, because it is sad to see how some people treat Sayaka. I watched the live screening of Episode 1 on the internet last Friday with one of my friends, and right when Sayaka appeared on screen, some said in the comments "Here comes dead girl." I personally don't see why they need to be mean to her, because she is a good character.

Then again, my watching of the live screening of Episode 1 was still good.

Agreed, but I see it as a joke.

This is good news for people like me who are interested in the series but don't want to pay at minimum $30 to watch it and see if they'd enjoy it.

That is quite good news. Most everyone in this thread watched it as it aired, but this is great for other people. And also great for Crunchyroll. And since it's not dubbed, whoever it was that licensed the show still will benefit a lot from this.

I'd honestly not have Aniplex do well with this. I want the series to succeed here, but they need a hard lesson on how bad their business practices are. The prices for Madoka are highway robbery, and the prices for Fate/Zero are damn near grand theft.

I agree. But, I'm just stating why they likely let CR stream it.

It is ridiculous to charge almost $100 for 4 episodes on blu ray. But Otaku.co.uk are only charging about £35 for the blu ray (That's about half the price Aniplex mark it down for in USD). I reckon the blu ray box set will be better value and that's what most will wait for.

I guess no one realizes that Kara no Kyoukai is still 50000yen (which is around 620USD).

We realize how much they rape you guys with prices over there. But, that doesn't make it okay.

[Daverost]

It's not just them. They weren't charging us much less for it.

[vampko]

I see, well, that's why I will never buy that. The majority of anime are priced reasonably over here though, that's why people are against this pricing.

You gotta wonder what Otaku are doing to be able to afford the Blu rays and stuff over there.

My parents usually pay for it, and I have a PayPal account that I put some money in. My school doesn't like paying for stuff so they pay me to design the T-shirts sometimes, but only in an extreme scenario. There are about 2-3 artists at the same school who draw waaaay better than I do.

So what is the average income of a Japanese person doing something basic for a job?
