Question for anime fans about DVD

[anti_shrub]

What's the difference when I see 2 box sets for the same show, but one has (MI) after the name?

1. I don't know, but on an unrelated note...

...I'm totally thrilled after buying and watching the complete Neon Genesis Evangelion series. Got it cheap secondhand, too. Woo-hoo! I know this is unrelated to your question, just had to share. -ll

2. Nice

......but back to the question at hand, the (MI) set was cheaper but had, IMO, better looking box art.

7. I'm still working my way through NGE

But it freeping roxs! Anime on dvd is the way to go.

3. It stands for Manga International

It's a Hong Kong bootleg company usually the DVD quality that they produce is terrible because they rip from analog laser disks or even worse vhs tapes. Also the subtitles are worthless most times your lucky if you can read them and twice as lucky if what it reads makes sense. Manga International also goes by "Anime Cartoon International" (AC) and "Animation Japan International" (K). I would recommend that you stay away from the company and see if you can buy a legitimate copy of the movie, something that comes region 1 not region 0.

4. Thats what I thought

but the set I'm looking at has good ratings from customers so far, so perhaps its worth it? I'm not big on subtitles....

6. hmmmm

Guess there's not as many anime fans here as I thought.....


(sorry for so much self-kickery, I don't want to get stuck with crap quality DVDs)
