Smashing Pumpkins

This thread cropped up some time last week on the AoD forums. The debate still rages, I see.

The series' protagonist reacts to FUNimation's release strategy.

My take on this whole thing

I think it sucks that volume 5 probably won’t see a re-release and volume 6 won’t see release at all. I almost started buying the singles for this series during my artbox craze. I’m also concerned I might be in a similar situation with Red Garden and Welcome to the NHK. Both are series I bought singles and artboxes for. Will I get screwed over, too?

Oh, and the two collected sets? Is that really necessary? Wouldn’t a single Viridian collection have sufficed? Eh, but then I suppose that forces the singles-buying fans to double dip in order to complete the series.

I really wish Sojitz hadn’t yanked all those titles away from ADV. Then we’d have gotten all the volumes, and even some nice complete thinpak collections.
