New Year, New Purchasing Option

[krpalmer]

While I took the path of least resistance and have been buying anime Blu-Rays from the “Crunchyroll Store” for a bit over a year now, I’ve at least dabbled in alternatives, ordering Sentai discs from that company’s own store and AnimEigo discs from the “MediaOCD Store.” Becoming aware the cardboard spacers Right Stuf used to put inside its boxes are no longer in use has a bit to do with that for all that whatever desire I once had to get expensive deluxe sets and “quasi-imports” burned out some time ago.

As for one company whose releases aren’t that elaborate, but which I have the habit of buying a lot of, I’ve wondered if Discotek Blu-Rays might ever become available through more avenues. With the new ownership of AnimEigo having been involved with Discotek productions, my thoughts had drifted in that direction, but in the past I’d seen official comments the MediaOCD Store didn’t have space to stock Discotek’s numerous titles.

Then, I happened on a new official comment those cross-company sales would be happening. For a little while I wondered if any particular Discotek title would only be available through the MediaOCD Store for a limited period, and then I did notice a bit more to the comment about “some of the back catalogue” being added later. Even if I can be pretty quick to order what Discotek titles catch my eye, the option seems welcome.
