ADV Films Shuts Down

newy:
Atm, I would say it is a big loss! Fuckimation will then have a monopoly in distributing anime in the US and that will also have consequences on the fansub community, definitely. Is there any other big player left? Or are there only small ones left (which will then not last long, I believe)

If anything i want to see them improve.More compititon breeds better
products/cheaper prices.

no your wrong in this case nearly 100%, nothing they do causes them to compete with eachother for dvd sales, they only competition is who can get licenses to series first. And expanding on that who bet money on the series that ended up being huge 6 months before it aired(one of the things they more or less do is invest in a show they think is gonna be good and if it pans out they spend more money to get it)

The problem being that there is no competition on dvd prices etc.
Its just like the credit card companies they technically have competition but the competition isnt exactly a race, its a running stalemate where they both dont care about winning customers because its not the price of the dvd that makes the sale its the content of the dvd.

More people are gonna buy the bleach and naruto dvds then people will buy school days dvds. So does that mean the company who puts school days out on dvd needs to cut the price to try and compete with bleach ?

no, because its sub section of the anime market.

Funimation just got lucky with dragonball z being RETARDEDLY successful in america and more or less using that to keep their company alive and allow it to expand
