I heard!

Cool movie, even with the continuity errors. (Somebody got the Tenseiga and Tokijin mixed up, for one.)

That's okay. It's the third movie, Swords of an Honorable Ruler. I rather like the character development, especially with Inuyasha's mom and dad. However, the continuity problems are rather glaring for fans. ~.~ *sigh*

Still, super cool movie, great fight scenes, and I just love how Inuyasha saved Kagome from a volleyball. ^^;

it was a bit funny, he popped it, threw it to the ground, and said:"How can you hurt Kagome with this?!" or something like that....I recorded the entire movie on tape! plus the episode that came after it!

LOL...that is funny.

Yeah, I totally agree, they should put more epsidoes on DVDs so that people don't feel ripped off. I know this place where they sell those special box sets (3 disc and has like 20 eps) and sell them for like $120.00 but my friend still buy it. She says that there's three discs and theres about 20 eps on all three, adding up disc with three eps each singlely, she says it's worth it. Of course, due to them being this much she doesn't get them often but when she does she buys a whole lot. Point is, if they put more episodes on them, people will buy them more. That's what I reakon anyway.

Definitely. I never really understood why they put so few episodes on each DVD. It isn't just with anime, either. The people who do DVDs do the same thing with shows like Doc and Full House.

It is so easy to think that these people are ripping us off on purpose.

It's not ripping you off, per se. The problem with putting more on a disc is you have to trade something off to get it on there.

DVDs at their best compression only hold anywhere from 90-120 minutes tops, and that's both video and one audio track. Adding extra tracks to a DVD adds more to the space required, and less to what can be put on there. This is why 3- and 4- episode DVDs are more common at the start.

In the case of many of these multiple-ep DVDs that are well over two hours, you will have a tradeoff in quality. I've heard many people complain about the first season Cardcaptor Sakura compilation because the quality compared to the original release is obviously poor. This is because, in order to keep the dub and subtitles on there, fitting as many episodes as they did, they had to make the video quality compress enough to fit it.

On that note, I like the way VIZ did the InuYasha First Season "English TV Version" (aka Wal-Mart) set. Instead of compromising quality (like the aforementioned CSS boxset), they opted to cram all of the first season on three DVDs by eliminating all but the English dubtrack and removing the subtitle tracks. The result of this is better video compression for a small three-disc set that's half the price of the normal boxset and you only get the dub (which is fine since the InuYasha dubs are the best dubwork I've heard in any media (excepting Inuyasha: Fedual Combat

)).

Ah, so that's it. Well, I guess that makes sense.

Kinda forgot that there are still limits on current disk storage capacity.
