I think that that kind of inflexible consumer-unfriendly pricing is the worst thing and just because you're doing it because you know people are crazy enough to pay your prices to compensate for the sane people you lose doesn't mean you should do it.

yeah but the japanese prices are just as silly, and who knows how much leeway distributors are given in pricing.

I'd feel it would be an unfriendly option if there were no alternatives, but Aniplex is legit really good at getting their shows out on as many streaming services as possible.

They only want to target low-end (streaming) and high-end (expensive boxsets) customers and heck, I can't blame them for going that route since it's pretty safe.

Especially since not all of their stuff is hella expensive, they are quite good at nailing down a good price range for various types of shows.

The Japanese prices shouldn't be that high to begin with. Just because that's how it works doesn't mean that should be how it works. That's like going "well he only stabbed you once, at least you weren't stabbed three times, right" to use a very overdramatic metaphor.

The business model is the scummiest thing possible. And if nobody buys it they just go "well i guess nobody wanted it" and blame the consumer and pick up their toys and leave.

Streaming does make it far, far, far less of an issue, but it shouldn't be an issue in the first place. It's not fair to people who aren't happy to pay many times what they should be for a physical product.

i've read that japanese pricing is due to anime being super-niche as well as the vast majority of people in japan renting or buying used rather than getting stuff new, so sales wouldn't increase significantly even if prices were cut across the board. absolutely no idea how true any of that is though, since it all comes from Online Japanese Culture Experts

but there's no reason for the Japanese market to change with the prevalence of rentals and the fact that mostly anime exists to sell things other than itself. i dunno if lower prices would even sell enough to make up for it

It makes a lot more sense when you consider the expensive blu-rays to be more collector's items than something practical.
