Okay, this is something that's been bugging me for awhile and I have to point it out. Those DVDs he's bitching about, assuming they are the TRUE AND HONEST officially released ones that ADV put out, ARE.FUCKING.AWFUL. Words can not even begin to describe how shitty the quality was on them. I was really active in the Sailormoon fandom around the time they were released and was excited to buy them but refused when people started reviewing them. Everyone compared them to bootlegs because they were so awful. At that same time, the show was being re-released/re-mastered in Japan and the results were fucking gorgeous. People honest to god speculated that Toei had purposfully given ADV shitty, inferior copies for the North American release so that Japanese people wouldn't import the cheaper American ones. THAT IS HOW FUCKING AWFUL THESE DVDS WERE. The audio was so low that you could barely hear anything. Is that a song playing in the background? Hell if I know because it all sounds like it's being muffled through a blanket. I can't find any comparisons to show how bad they were but these two links are the best I can find for now.
Basically my point is, picture the worst quality DVD you've ever watched, now put it in a blender and throw it in a sack. Those are the DVDs Chris is bitching about. Those are the shitastic, half assed DVDs he will not let go.
Thanks for clearing that up, like someone else said, this is probably why Megan asked for the originals. I don't think Chris noticed, given that he's someone who has fond memories of the Ghostbusters cartoon nobody's heard of and thinks "The Adventures of the American Rabbit" is one of the greatest movies ever made. Chris doesn't have a discerning palate, so to speak.
I still think that someone just getting him the fucking DVDs will shut him up and maybe save Megan. Hell, maybe it's possible that he's going on a Megan tirade because of his financial situation and is upset about the lack of money he has.
To be honest, I think he probably already had pirated DVDs; I believe he mentioned having the Sailor Stars season on DVD which never got an official release in the US. On top of which, the official DVDs were expensive when they first got released ($150 or so for each boxset of the first two seasons, and at least $25 a DVD for Seasons 3 and 4, of which there were 6 and 7 DVDs respectively). These only went up in price for the years after.
