i don't mean to single out baseball fans here, because you see this in lots of fan communities, but in certain corners people talk as though baseball is real. they think all the players are real people and the stadiums are places you can actually visit. to each their own, but that cannot be healthy

I have put in a support ticket for a replacement (that I'm sure won't come because lol), but let's see what happens. The delays were one thing, but I didn't pay for this subpar quality, and plan on getting my money back.

Having this issue as well. What happened to all those months of QC???

🎃Michael 'Wolfboy' Rookard🎃 @jikorijo.bsky.social · 22d

Going through my Dirty Pair Kickstarter blu-ray, making sure everything's alright, and I noticed that the Japanese 5.1 audio for ep. 24 doesn't sync with what's happening on screen. The other audio tracks (the two English dub tracks/the other Japanese tracks) match up. Anyone else had this problem?

Just noting here for posterity, my copy has this issue too.

In a five-disc release, you have a case made for four discs. Unsurprisingly, the last disc was just rattling around in the case. God knows what happened in transit and if it even works.

I've been trying to remain chill during all the delays of @crunchyroll.com's Dirty Pair release, but waiting several years only to hear of production issues, and having a loose disc in the subpar packaging is really the final straw for me.

I'm over hounding everyone for spending their time/money differently than me, especially when it comes to virtue signaling. But I also can't imagine getting het up about current political events, being handed an easy ticket to push back, and giving it up for *this*.
