Your Top Five Worst Anime DVDs

Cardcaptor Takato · Post by **Cardcaptor Takato** » Mon Aug 23, 2004 8:30 am

What're the top five worst anime DVDs you've purchashed, quality-wise from worse release to least worse release, and why? What I mean is not if the actual anime on the disc sucked or not, but how bad the quality of the disc itself was.

Sailor Moon R DVD boxset: ADV's DVD boxset for Sailor Moon R was even worse than their DVD boxset for Season One. While a lot of things I didn't like about this boxset are just things I'm picky about, there's a lot of major problems on it, too. First of all, there's the cases. For some reason, I have a lot of trouble closing the cases on these DVDs. I have no problem opening them, but I have to press down really hard to get the freaking thing to close. This really isn't a huge deal but I just find it to be annoying. Then, on the side of one of the cases, there's artwork of Chibi-usa. It looks really nice but there's one problem. She's wearing her transformation brooch! She's not supposed to get that thing until Sailor Moon S, an entire season later. How ADV could make a stupid mistake like that, I have no idea.

Then there's the DVD menu. It's too simplistic for my taste. All it is is just a plain purple background with the Sailor Moon logo in the corner and the little windows you select to play the episodes with clips of the episodes inside them. This isn't a huge deal either, but I would've liked to see at least some sort of animation in the background. I also would've liked to have sub-menus for the scene access. I know I can access the different parts of the episode manually with my DVD player remote control, but I still would've preferred a sub-menu for the scene access as most other anime DVDs seem to have those.

Then, there's the way the episode is presented. In the Japanese version of Sailor Moon, the episode preview is supposed to come first, then the opening credits, followed by the actual episode itself and then after the ending credits there's supposed to be the next episode preview. However, on ADV's DVDs, the opening credits come first, then the episode preview, after that the actual episode and the next episode previews aren't included at all on these discs. Why ADV did it this way I have no idea, but I think it looks sloppy. The video and audio quality has improved some since the Season One boxset but it still has a long way to go from being perfect in my eyes.

ADV also had the annoying habit of using dub terms in the subtitles. For example, they kept refferring to Sailor Moon's Cutie Heart Moon Rod as the "Moon Scepter". They also translated Sailor Moon's attack, "Moon Princess Halation" as, "Moon Princess Elimination." This was actually what Geneon called the attack in their dub of the R movie. I thought this was extremely stupid since the names are already spoken in clear English to begin with, so why would it be so hard to screw that up? I don't understand it at all. This is a supposed to be an uncut subbed release, so why they're using dub terms in the subtitles I have no idea.

The biggest problem with this set is that ADV skipped episode 67! That's right, they skipped an entire episode! This is supposed to be an uncut release so all the episodes should be included on the freaking set! Now even if Sailor Stars is released in the U.S. (which I seriously doubt will happen), we'll still come up one episode short thanks to our wonderful friends at Toei and ADV. We also don't get any explanation as to why the episode wasn't included on the set. We just know that it wasn't and that ADV has supposedly fought hard for the episode and Toei wouldn't give them the rights to it, but considering the other sloppy mistakes ADV has made with this set, I doubt they fought very hard.

To top it all off, episode 68 even had an audio glitch in it! There's a scene at the beginning of the episode where Usagi has a dream about her wedding with Mamoru. Usagi starts laughing, but on ADV's DVDs for a brief 30 seconds you can hear her dub laughter instead and a bit of dub music. Then, when the dream's over and Usagi wakes up, it goes back to normal. ADV at least was kind enough to do a recall on the set, but that was stupid and clearly they're fault. We can't do anything about the crappy video and audio quality of the discs as that was the problem with the crappy master copies, but this was cleary the fault of ADV. Even though they did do a recall, they should've checked the discs in the first place before sending them out, so they wouldn't have to waste so much time and money and their resources.

Sailor Moon Season One-This is another awful DVD release. The artwork on this set looks great and I wouldn't change it for the world, but once again, the cases are so freaking annoyingly hard to keep close. The DVD menus are still too simplistic looking for my taste; they still need a sub-menu for the scene access; the episodes are still presented out of order; next episode previews still aren't included at all; video and audio quality looks awful; and dub terms are used in the subtitles. There's also a freaking video glitch in episode 24. It seemed like the screen was bouncy the entire episode or something. It was just really hard to be able to enjoy the actual episode when it keeps screwing up like that.

Like the R boxset, at least ADV was kind enough to do a recall for it, but the way they handled the recall for the Season One boxset was stupid. First, instead of having you send in only the defective disc, they have you send in the entire set. Then, it takes months for them to send it back and finally, they don't even mark which sets have the defective disc on them and which ones don't at the stores, so you have no clue how to tell. I sent my copy of the Season One boxset to be exchanged back last year around late September, but didn't get it back until a week before Christmas. I had to keep emailing them constantly to ask them where the heck my $150 is at. I also thought it was stupid for them to have this boxset priced that much when the quality is so craptacular. This really pissed me off so much, but I guess I should be glad to at least have access to the Japanese version.

Macross Plus: Movie Edition-This DVD wasn't as bad as the Sailor Moon boxsets, but it was still pretty bad. The video quality is very VHS like. It's almost like they just took their VHS master copies and slapped it on a disc and try to claim it to be a DVD. The tent they choose for the subtitles also looks very tacky to me, especially for a DVD release. There was also a scene somewhere on the disc where the screen pauses briefly for a few seconds. The extras on this DVD are very poor, too. Basically, all you get are trailers for the OVAs, the ending credits for the OVAs, a small art gallery, and these poorly written character profiles, which is what made me cringe the most. They were just so bad that fans could do a better job than they could. "Myung Fang Lone returns to Eden after many years" or some crap like that. That's what they call a profile? It doesn't even give any information about her bloodtype or personality! Why the heck is the one of the mechas included in the profile? It's not like the mechas are characters.

Macross 2- This DVD wasn't as bad as Macross Plus: Movie Edition, but it was still pretty bad. VHS-like quality, tacky choice of tent for the subtitles, and the screen pauses briefly at one point on the disc. At least the extras are a little better here than the Macross Plus: Movie Edition DVD since the character profiles are actually pretty well written here, IMO. It also came with a "music video" which is actually a textless ending credit for Macross 2. Why Manga Entertainment called this OVA series a "movie" I still have no idea.

Rayearth OVAs: This DVD release actually isn't too bad, but it could've been better. The actual quality of the video and audio is pretty good, but like the other two DVDs from Manga Enterainment I've purchased, the screen pauses briefly at one point on the disc. The extras are kind of lacking, too. You basically just get the North American home video trailer for the OVAs and character profiles. These character profiles are very detailed and nicely written, but I have two problems with them. One: They're written in bright yellow, so after a while of reading them, it starts to hurt your eyes. Two: They like to mix up facts from the tvseries and the OVAs, which annoys the heck out of me since it confuses everything.

Do we not have enough topics basing ADV's boxsets? Yes, we all get it. They fucked up. But we can all please stop whining about it?

Sailor Moon R boxset- for the same reasons already presented.
Sailor Moon Season 1- also for the same reasons already presented.

Uh... that's it. I never had a problem with any other anime DVDs I bought. Well, I've got bootlegs that I bought in Chinatown and stuff, but I don't think those should count, since they are not ligitimate releases.

ADMIN MODE: I sincerely hope this doesn't turn into an ADV/SMR-SMS BOXSET Bash-fest. If I see it leaning that way, this topic will be locked, becuase there's no reason for anymore possible discussion on these boxsets. We have an entire thread dedicated to them.

I don't own any anime DVDs that suck. You know why? I'm picky. If I'm iffy on a show, I'll rent the first DVD or watch it elsewhere to decide if I like it enough to buy it.

I don't need fancy menus or anything like that to be happy with a DVD. If it has the series I want in pretty good quality sound and video, then I'm happy. I could care less about extras or any of that.

Sure, the ADV SM sets weren't perfect. But you know what? I'd rather have a less-perfect set than no set at all, because it took SO long for them to be released at all.

I don't think newer anime fans realize exactly how GOOD they have it these days. I've been watching anime since around 1995 and 1996, and it was really hard to get stuff back then. You couldn't just walk into most stores and grab a DVD or tape from the shelves unless you were either in a large city or you were going to Japan. And fansubs? Unless you could plunk down the cash and wait for VHS to get there, you were out of luck.

Now? Even in the tiny town I went to college in, which had 10,000 residents on a good day, you can walk into a store and grab a DVD release of a lot of series right off the shelf. And people think waiting a week for a fansubbed show is terrible.

So, yeah. It's good these days, and most people don't realize exactly how good it is.

Maybe so, but I think the high level of discontent is a good thing. Fans need to get on the companies to produce more value for less money. We shouldn't even have to have conversations over DVDs that suck. They're all supposed to be done well. The mindset of the fandom has for so long been that we have to sacrifice value because anime is a: imported and b: unpopular, and that we have to be grateful for any effort toward mainstreaming. Well, now that the products are in the stores, I think we can afford to be a bit more discriminating and start asking for the same things on every other DVD. be it menus, extras, super-high A/V quality, etc. Not to mention quality translations.

I agree whole-heartedly. I remember when I first started watching anime, and tried to buy it. What was available? DBZ, Sailor Moon, Akira and on the rare occasion, Robotech. And none of these were subtitled. I am amazed by the status of anime today. I can go to Best Buy, and find probably just as much anime as a typical Japanese shop (one that doesn't specialize). Fansubs are insanely easy to get, though I don't download fansubs because it seems that every show that gets fansubbed is released legit just a few months later.

I agree as well about the menus. I want anime. I don't care about special features, flashy menus, or whatnot. I just want anime.

And ya know what? I didn't buy R. I refuse to. But I made the decision, and I've moved on. I have better things to worry about.

I don't own too many anime DVDs because of the priceyness. Of the ones that I do own, here are the only bad ones:

Tenchi Muyo in Love Movie 1 - Worst
I don't blame Pioneer for this since I do recall this was their first anime DVD release (at least I think). The bad thing is the menus! It's really very inconvenient. When you click left/right to navigate, it takes about several seconds in order to load the short animation clip/sound clip. So, it's like surfing the web with dial-up, it lags.

Each menu screen is very amateurish and sloppily done. Whenever I highlight the "Back to main menu" screen, it lags another few seconds just to load the cabbit's "nya".

The chapter selection menu is really really long! There are pages and pages and pages of chapters. Thankfully, there are no annoying "nya's" and no animation clips so it loads pretty fast. But still, they can organize it better.

Another bad thing is it has automatic closed-captioning. I have set my TV with the CC for the local news and such in case they speak too fast. The CC is also dubtitles so I have to switch the function off every time I want to watch this DVD. Very annoying.

The good thing about this release is that the menus have a Japanese and English version. You can toggle between the two. Besides the usual English subtitles, you also get Japanese subtitles! Surprise, surprise! Unfortunately, Geneon doesn't do this anymore.

Vampire Princess Miyu Vol.1
This one isn't so bad actually. The only problem (for those die-hard collectors) is the menu. It is inconsistent with the rest of the DVDs. Since I only rented this one from Blockbuster a few years ago, I forgot what it looked like. The buttons were blocky though. But I do know the rest of the DVDs have very abstract-looking menus and the images have a brownish, sepia, feel to them.

Gungrave Vol.1
This volume is among one of Geneon's newest releases. It has an English Dolby Digital 5.1 track and a Japanese DTS 5.1 track. For me, I mostly go with DTS because I think it's far more superior to DD. But after comparing the two, the gunshots in the DD5.1 has more "omph" in it. I am disappointed there's no Japanese DD5.1.

Pet Shop Of Horrors

The worse DVD coverart. ever. Seriously, it's just a poorly mixed screencap glore, and hell the only picture of Count D is a VERY small screencap. And for some reason, Episodes 2 and 3 (or 4) don't have ending songs. And they aren't subtitled etiher. Plus, the dub is pretty bad. That 'fake asian accent and trying to be gay' voice is not Count D. It's really not.

All three volumes of Saber Marionette J skip and get all wierd, especially on their second disks (it's worst in the third collection). Although I think this is at least partially the fault of my PS2 (which is my DVD player)...

The first time I saw that, I didn't see Count D. Someone later had to point him out for me.

And for some reason, Episodes 2 and 3 (or 4) don't have ending songs. And they aren't subtitled etiher.

I wanted to buy this DVD, but it's fifty dollars so I have to decide carefully. The missing songs I can handle (as long as it's on their some where). But what do you mean by episodes 2 and 3 aren't subtitled? You turn on the Japanese audio and the subtitles don't show up? Are they on the other episodes?

Plus, the dub is pretty bad. That 'fake asian accent and trying to be gay' voice is not Count D. It's really not.

Do you know where I can find a clip of Count D's original voice? I'm dieing to hear it (peachy is a BIG Count D fangirl). I actually liked the English voice though, how can you not laugh at the squeal (I don't need to be specific, if you've watched PSOH you know what I'm talking about ~_^).

Sure, some companies kick up the price a little, but really, don't tell me there's no value. I paid over $100 for fansubbed VHS years ago and that wasn't even a whole season of a show. When I can walk in and pick up one DVD for $20 or a boxed set for $80, that isn't bad.

And what does anyone need a fancy menu for? You don't need something flashy to get from point A to point B, you just need something that works!

I'm less concerned with the menu as I am with things like: are the chapter cuts on time and in logical places? Are the subtitles clean and readable? For a movie, is there both full-screen and letterbox? Did they bother to karaoke-sub the OP/ED? Are there any glaring errors? (To grasp at an example, the SuperS DVDs refer to Fish Eye as "she" in the subtitles an episode before Tiger's Eye declares, "But we're all boys!") Also, while it'd be difficult to get extras like commentary or making-of specials, having them would be a real show of care. The Sailor Moon LDs had the little omake, why not get them and sub them?

I guess it all depends on one's point of view. We can compare anime today to anime yesterday, or to other DVDs today. But it can't be both ways, especially for the companies themselves. They can't on the one hand say that they can just throw the show on a DVD and be done with it on the grounds that fans are used to it, and then charge the same as a mainstream movie or TV show. If that's the case, DVDs need to be $10 and $15, not $15 and $20. And if that's the case I don't want to hear them complaining about fansubbers. But rather I'd see them keep charging ~$20, but make the DVDs up to the high standards of Western movie DVDs.

Jumbled Thoughts · Post by **MarioKnight** » Tue Aug 24, 2004 12:55 pm

After looking at my shelves and thinking long and hard, I can finally make a small list. I'm only judging on how the actual anime itself was handled, not the menus or extras.

Sailor Moon Season One Uncut: Worst
http://www.smuncensored.com/editorial.php?article=14
http://www.smuncensored.com/editorial.php?article=15

The poor quality of this release sparked not one but two editorials for me to write. I refuse to buy R and I'm actually selling this first box to an online friend (though if she decides she doesn't want to buy it anymore, I might put it up for grabs in a contest of some sort here).

Saint Tail DVD1
This DVD left a bad taste in my mouth just as bad as the first SM box did. Being a fan of shoujo series such as this, as well as a bunch of people in the MKBO DC hub loving this series, I naturally bought the disc with high hopes. It had just come out, and Best Buy and other select retailers had a Limited Edition of the release that came with DVD1 and the first manga in a box. My joy ended when I watched the disc. Not because of the series, I throughouly enjoyed the episodes, but the poor way it was put together. Chapter stops seemed random, there was only one OP in the start of the disc and one ED at the end of the disc, overall very hard to navigate and no breaks between each episode. It was so bad that I almost didn't continue on in the series because of the overall poorness of the disc. Thankfully, they changed their ways with the next disc and stayed with those changes on all discs afterwards.

Other things that deserve mention for the release of the series is the dropping of the dub from disc 5 on, and delaying the release of the final three discs for over a year and releasing them all in a brick instead of three individual cases, looking awfully weird on the shelf. The entire series was pretty much ruined by Tokyopop's poor marketing skills and planning back four years ago, but this first disc is the only one that really deserves a mention as a poorly made disc.

Magic Knight Rayearth: Discs 1 - 5 (Season 1)
The series which is argubly my favorite anime series had a poor release in it's first season, and ironically one of the best releases in the second season. To start, even though I'm trying to not mention menus in this post, I should mention that no menu comes up when you first put the disc in, so the user can't decide if they want to change the language or subtitles before it starts. So unless someone wants to watch in with the dub (which is a great dub) you'll always have to press the menu button as the disc starts up. Another thing with these discs is how Media Blasters tried to save space on them. Since the OP and ED were all the same, they decided to have them on the disc once. However, they knew that fans don't like it when there's only one OP and ED on a disc (see Saint Tail DVD1 above), so to keep only one of each on a disc and still have the OP and ED play before and after each episode, there's a lot of chapter paths complicating things from a technical standpoint, also sometimes lagging during these chapter changes.

Other than the discs mentioned above, I've had no problems with any of my anime discs, and with the exception of SM Season 1 (since I already have better subs), nothing really takes away from watching the discs, though the one OP/ED per disc thing is annoying with Saint Tail DVD1 and all my Pokémon DVDs. I would say that the worst DVD making company is Tokyopop as they are the only company who I'm wary when purchasing discs.

I still find it suspicious that Classic and R get such bad American releases and then not long afterwards Toei releases excellent quality DVDs of those seasons in Japan (at the very least it begs the question "why not give that version to ADV?")...

I'll definitely be waiting for that one.

Here's another minor gripe of mines on the new ROD The TV Vol.1 from Geneon. This is the same kind of thing that happened to the Sailormoon boxsets. The ending previews were left out of the episode order. Instead, they are put into the Extras menu. I mean, what's the point of sitting through 4 previews in a row without anything else? I mean, they don't even serve that purpose. They're supposed to be a preview for the next episode at the end of each episode. I really have to wonder why these companies do this.

You know, I completely forgot about that! I got a little annoyed at that, but it didn't bother me too much.

I just received the two first DVDs of Revolutionary Girl Utena in the mail and find them to be pretty odd. At one point, we see 1. the original Japanese ending followed by 2. Next episode preview, capped off by 3. Original Japanese ending (again) and then 4. Edited English opening.

The chapter stops are all over the place, the songs are sometimes hard subbed, occasionally soft subbed and the covers don't match at all. Every few episodes or so we get a commercial eyecatch, but I suppose you have to be lucky. And the English logo is absolutely hideous. If I didn't like Utena so much, I wouldn't have bought them... it's even weirder, since the movie's release, also from Software Sculptors, was really very good.
For those who have the Black Rose and Apocalyse Saga volumes, do these errors continue?

Prons · Post by **Prons** » Tue Aug 31, 2004 6:11 pm

I personally think most of my DVDs are of high quality, how ever I want to complain about the Big O Season II DVD 1 ( I assume the rest of the Big O II DVDs are like that) While the show is spectacular the DVD menus I do not like, I get DANG tired of DVD menus trying to "Recreate" the Cock pits in Giant Robots!
As for extras. well, there is a mini poster and some lame concept Art or some crap. I really do not like CONCEPT ART as a DVD Feature.
