hibiscuskazeneko: it seems like that was an extremely heavy-handed way of preventing japanese cds from being sold in other south-east asian markets also covered by avex brands :/

kepstin: It applies worldwide, not just in Southeast Asia. And it only covers titles handled by Avex Pictures, not other Avex divisions.

People have been speculating (since no official statement was ever made on the matter) that this is a tactic Avex Pictures (an anime producer/distributor) is using to drive up the asking price for international licenses.

They currently have THE hottest anime titles on the market, so they think they can get away with this.

For a smaller company with less-popular titles, this would be career suicide.

I imagine that their overseas sales of anime was basically nil anyways tho

(given that they don't normally have any languages other than japanese on them)

Someone estimated it's in the low hundreds (mainly die-hard collectors)
2017-02-28 05950, 2017
kepstin
so just really dedicated collectors and people doing ripping/pirating
this really needs a statement directly from avex if anyone is gonna know the actual truth behind it :/

pony canyon and aniplex do sell stuff directly overseas, which many anime fans find annoying since they often replicate the fewer episodes/higher prices model they use in japan, going for fewer sales but more money per sale.

That's been talked about a lot in recent years. It's been said this is done to prevent reverse importation, which is evidently a big problem in Japan.

For a while some distributors (e.g. Funimation) were selling some titles in dub-only format because of similar restrictions imposed by their licensors.

it's standard for english blu-rays to have subtitles forcibly enabled when the audio is set to japanese as a reverse-importation deturrent :/

2017-02-28 05942, 2017
CatQuest
"try connecting again later. If you continue to have problems (yes!), change the IP adress of this computer or the ip adress of the other device."

(this is why i repled to you with catcat btw reo, i was typing up all that)

iliekcomputers: Don't be sorry. Real life is more important than MeB stuff. While we'd love to have you help with the final touches on LB, it'd be terrible if you spending your energy on this (or spending energy on worrying or feeling guilty about not spending energy on it) caused you to fail your exams. We'll still be here once your exams are done. :)
