For several weeks I&#8217;ve been wanting desperately to watch this series again, but my lousy EP fansubs were of poor quality when I got them, and the intervening 6 years and numerous watches have done nothing to improve them.  Several episodes are completely unwatchable due to skipping.<\/p>\n<p>So I wanted to buy the series on DVD.  The whole thing.  But Viz, in spite of the fact that it&#8217;s been releasing the thing for ~8 years, has yet to actually FINISH.  And they haven&#8217;t released any of it on DVD yet.  What&#8217;s a girl to do?  It is available on R2, but without subtitles.  And I&#8217;m not comfortable watching a show like this without subtitles &#8212; I feel like I miss too much.  So&#8230; my money goes to the pirates.  And you know what? I don&#8217;t feel the least bit guilty over it.  If Viz had supplied the product in a timely fashion, I would have purchased it.  But they didn&#8217;t.  So too bad.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I have been immersed in MI all weekend. Only about halfway done.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; padding-bottom: 0.25em;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyoko is evil.Mitaka is an ass, but with a pinch of sweetness.Godai is sweet, but with a pinch of jackass.Why haven&#8217;t I watched this show for 2 years?
