TZ Talkback - Media Blasters Announces New May Titles Incl. "Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei"

Media Blasters has a habit of repackaging singles into box sets a few months after the last single is released and lowering the per-episode cost significantly when doing so. That's what they did / are doing with both seasons of Genshiken. So if you're interested in the show but can't justify the price, just wait a while.

It's not a bad business model in theory: gouge the Day One purchasers a little, give some time to let word of mouth get around, and then drop the price to lure the fence-sitters. Hope it's working out for them.
 
Glad to see this big news that people are so excited about, even when it's in sub-only singles. Based on that, I might have checked it out... if it weren't in sub-only singles.
 
The thing is, to me, Zetsubo was the first show they made that looked like a drug-addled production. That, and no budget/tight production schedule. Remeraber: the first few episodes of S1 began with black-and-white title carRAB for an OP sequence, and this was the OP for the first couple of episodes of Zan (S3).

I'll probably buy the singles.
 
Not to mention the fact that Zoku didn't even have a finished opening until the final episode (which I'm still not sure if it was a stylistic choice or if they seriously didn't have a color version done in time).
 
Hey...I liked those black and white card openings...so full of wisdom like

Space

Space is dangerous....


I really hope they are included as how the show was introduced on TV or at least as extras....
 
Yeah, for some reason, I always liked the black and white "we totally don't have any money to animate anything" card openings. They seemed lazy but were really unique.
