The only Asian-produced DVD originals are the ODEX brands. Not sure about the Technogram ones though.

All others are rips. They are either:
01. Translated in-house (the ones with crappy undecipherable subs)
02. Ripped from R1 region DVDs

Don't trust the TULEN sticker. They can't differentiate originals from rips.

Kindly refer here.

no.

Hmm can clarify more on this (the process etc)? Want to hear the distributor side of the story..

he's not that upset and he just told you about what u need to know. if u find it very offensive, that's your problem. everyone here know that the local distributor wasn't selling the original copy of the said anime directly granted from the anime studio themselves.

well refer to steno's and quaz's post. you may learn something about what is bootleg and original copy and the said LICENCE

Original anime medias carry around 2-4 episodes per disc only
Those with more than that are not original, just bootlegs with the tulen sticker, heck every tom, d*** and harry can do that

as for the price, prepare to pay a premium price for original as well. Those from S&M shopping mall and etc....naaahhhhh....

KHEDN need to do some research before giving the ori sticker to the local distributor. Local distributor on the other hand must seek permission to make the copy of some said anime legally and grant to be sold in malaysia soil

Funimation fits 6 to 7 episodes per DVD as their releases are now in 13-episode batches split between 2 DVDs. Of course, they remove all bonus materials other than trailers.

i remember buying a local "original" dvd box set of cowboy bebop. it has all 26 ep and the movie, knocking on heaven's door in one dvd. back then i dont know much about fan subs, original distributor and stuff. i rewatch the dvd recently, and it was horrible. the image quality was extremely bad, and the subs were inaccurate. it was rm50 or something like that. and thinking that i wasnt even supporting the industry but just made some ******* who didnt pay for copyright richer made me pissed.

pic or gtfo

alot of us here have bought original dvd worth 100 over ringgit. so either you show us proof or just shut up

I have bought onegai sensei madman original dvd worth 160 and it have 13 episode over 4 disc

DVD? how about Blu-ray?

fyi, i used to have more than anime dvd set that worth almost RM10k while i was in japan. If the quality can be the same as japan at least like this

then i wont complain


not only the dvd/bd are expensive even for japanese, as we for malaysian, we need to pay more than 3times than the japanese pay in term of buying power

example, lets say:
retail price of 1 tin of coke
japan: 150yen
malaysia: RM1.50
so think 100yen = RM1 for japanese

(in real life 100 Japanese yen = 3.80537559 Malaysian ringgits)
get what i mean?

we need to earn/work 3.8times harder than japanese to buy the same thing lol

wtf? kanon japanese bd with...eng subs? wtf?

Agree - I only purchase Ori when I'm head over heels with the series. It's for collection sake

Most of the DVDs sold in Petaling Street like Hero, Hong Kong Video Shop etc are bootlegs. I guess when you're looking for Ori, there's only AnimeTech.

Like others, Collection Sake. I'm sure that I'd finished watching it somewhere else LOL.

news for you brother, the one they sold at anime tech, speed, sun comic, kedai video ah seng isnt ori, its a rip off bootleg.

Another one bites the dust.

No, sorry to break it in to ya, but AnimeTech is selling bootlegs as well. All of them.

no.

Before running your mouth off and getting embarrased in the process, how about you make some research on more recent Funimation release trends first. I said Funimation, not some other studios like Madman, Nozomi, etc.

All my original animes are imported, so I know what I'm saying. Proof of my imported purchases are provided. Plus, I bought both Tokyo Majin and The Wallflower (both are Funimation releases) where 13 episodes are crammed into two discs.

I'm at my workplace, so no pics readily available but if you want verification, there's always Amazon if you actually take the effort to look it up. I only have the abovementioned proof of purchase (i.e. purchase order) with me as I always have the goods delivered to my office.

Tokyo Majin Season 1 : 2 Discs, 350 minutes (13 Ep)
Kaze no Stigma Part 1 : 2 Discs, 290 minutes (12 Ep)
The Wallflower Part 1 : 2 Discs, 325 minutes (13 Ep)
