Not to mention how much they ream retailers. Most of the time markup is
~40% from wholesale, but the way Pioneer sells their discs only allows
retailers to mark up around 25% or so (IIRC), even considering the high
costs of their discs to begin with! I love Pioneer but they are moving
in the wrong direction. Need to shape up, they do.

I've been impressed and pleased with ADV's stuff within the last year.
They're really starting to produce some quality stuff. I haven't seen
enough of Funimation's aquisitions to say anything about them. The one
Lupin disc I checked out was eh, but that's cause it was a post-'95
Lupin and didn't have the original VA. Very sad.

I would agree if they made more of their stuff available through
retailers. I've missed many boxsets because they only did a direct
release and I didn't know about it or didn't have the money...
