That's one reason why its so annoying.  There's no reason that they couldn't have
included both closed captions and normal subtitles (I have a handful of discs like
that), and given the profile of the movie (within the anime community at least), such

a thing would have made perfect sense.  Instead, they only included closed captioning.


I'm quite puzzled about this particular decision.
