Yeah definitely makes sense now. I've also just been told that in order for them to make anime they have to spend thousands and compressing them to an episode takes thousands too. So, I guess looking at it that way, it makes sense how they're expensive.

With the technology been so advanced and being so quick and everything...it kinda makes you think that they've at least, somehow found a way to minimise costs or created a larger capacity disc for DVD makers or something.

There are alternatives, but they cost a lot more to implement. For example, a company could put its media on a double-layered DVD, which effectively doubles the space available. The reasons why it hasn't been as widely used is both a higher price than normal, single-layer DVDs and potential incompatibility with some players.

Blu-Ray and other technologies are coming out, and they will be good for future media, but in the DVD age not a lot of people are going to re-buy Blu-Ray versions of media they already have. That's pretty much been the doom of the UMD format -- even though you can watch them on PSPs easily, no one's going to front the same cost as the DVD they already own just to get it on their portable player.

Yeah, that's true. Guess it makes sense. Which means we'll have to wait until Double Layer DVD Players becomes popular in order for them to make the Dual-Layer DVDs. However, I suspect ANIME dual-layer DVDs will come out after the normal movie dual-lyaer DVDs. After all, comparing the ANIME section to normal movie section, they have a lot more selection than ANIME.

Ok you guys, from what I've read, you obviously have seen the show a lot more than me and have actually watched it ALL THE WAY THROUGH, but I have a really big question that's been nagging at me for awhile. The last time I actually saw the show, it must have been close to three years and I only got see see...roughly fifteen episodes, but I didn't actually start watching it from the beginning. What was the main problem in the anime show? Like, what was the plot? :oops: You people know so much about it...I kinda feel stupid asking such a lame question. From what I saw of the show, it looked awesome, but I never got the chance to watch the entire thing. :x

Ha ha! Well, like I said, it's been awhile, so the episodes I saw a billion years ago are kinda hazy. But like ok....how am I gonna put this...just for starters, who is the main character again? The red-haired guy right and he's all cool with his sword (I know I like him, he be 8-) ), right?....wrong? OH! Who's the guy with the big huge sword he fights with..has black spikey hair (man this is bad, I used to know his name. He's the friend of the red-haired guy)

(oh gawd, this is gonna take forever...but what the heck, you just said you can talk about it all day! So... :D ) But I'm just a little desperate.

Red hair? Black spiky hair? Are we talking about the same series?

Anyway, the main character is Inuyasha, a half-dog demon with long white hair and dog ears. (Some describe them as cat ears, but they're dog ears.) He was sealed to a tree by a priestess named Kikyo sometime in the 1500s. Then Kikyo's supposed reincarnation, Kagome, gets dragged down a magic well on the grounds of her family's shrine. Kagome is from our time and the well takes her to Inuyasha's, plus fifty years. Kagome unseals Inuyasha so that he can save her from a demonic centiped. But after killing the centiped Inuyasha turns on her because she has a magic stone called the Skikon Jewel. It's because he'd stolen that jewel that he'd been sealed to the tree in the first place.

Before Inuyasha can really hurt Kagome, though, Kikyo's younger sister, now an old lady and the local priestess, puts some enchanted beads around his neck that permits Kagome to subdue Inuyasha with a single word. (Kagome chooses the word 'sit' or 'osuwari' because of Inuyasha's dog-like features.)

More stuff happens and the jewel gets shattered, each piece zooming off for who knows where. So Kagome and Inuyasha are forced to work together to collect the shards and on the way they meet friends, enemies (lots of enemies), and grow to like each other. A lot.

That's a pretty lame sounding summary, but there you have it.
