Kalo Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'm so frustrating about the accessibility of asian animations, you can't rent them on amazon instant. they are never on netflix and redbox scarcely has them. and I don't want to spend $20 on a movie I'm not even sure I will like, so I can hardly ever see them.

It is annoying that they don't get wide releases and they are always expensive on home viewing. But then, they play to a very niche audience, so it's understandable.
