Funimation putting more episodes per DVD?  Bullshit!!!

The typical practice nowadays with Anime Companies is to put either 4 to
5 episodes per disc in North America; I don't see this changing.

And then there are your of Fruits Basket, which is going to be released
in six volumes.  However, the first volume of the series is suggested
retail price of $39.95.  Now tell me if that's a deal?

Frankly speaking, it will most likely be $24.98-$29.98 per volume
(depending is they go six or eight volumes).  Most likely going to air
on Cartoon Network (because if they don't, then what was the point of
them getting it); and will probably have crappy dailogue!

Personally, I would have felt better if Bandai or ADV got it instead of
Funimation.
