Yeah, I agree. I buy my absolute favorite series when I can afford them, but I still grumble about the $10-per-episode thing. What pisses me off is that it's not as if they can't fit 2-3 times that amount of episodes onto a dual-layer dvd, but that they just don't. Every anime disc I've ripped has only used about 55% of their allotted 9gb, leading me to believe it's a marketing decision rather than a technical limitation.
