Funi is known for cramming a lot of episodes per disc. 6 isn't really overkill for a DVD9 but you do get some PQ benefit from splitting over multiple discs. Japanese discs are usually much better in that regard -- fewer episodes/disc means more bytes per episode, so a higher bit rate. Also usually only one audio track and no subs -- bitrate which can go to the video stream instead.

Funi's quality is hit or miss in that regard. Still not as bad as Sentai trying to fit 12 episodes on a BD50. I'm very wary of their Shirobako release for that.

My favorite's Jungle de Ikou, but I know it's entirely due to nostalgia.

>>137392769
the one with the loli turning into a titty monster through erotic dance/masturbation?
That one made me ashamed of the whole medium jesus christ
>>
>>137392832
If that startles you, then clearly you haven't read enough books or watched enough movies/shows/animation.

The thing was ass and clearly just an excuse to draw tits, but the three human kids were actually pretty likable for their minor presence and the designs were rather nice (even though the art driftedintk the worst kind of generic 90's shit at times).

It could have made for a strange magical girl series or at least a decent sex comedy, but...the OVA itself is just bad.

I've watched plenty and jungle de ikou is atrocious.

>Raping small children? Horrible bodily mutilation? Bah, young girls doing something analogous to masturbation and a big tittied women are FAR more scandalous!

I'm not even saying it's anything more than a bad OVA I have misplaced affection for, but you're being very silly if something this tame is what makes you ashamed of a medium of art.
>>

Haha NO.

Are you stupid or something?

I just said it's bad. My nostalgia has nothing to do with my taste because I actively dislike the show itself.

I'm saying that you have to be extremely sheltered to think something as tame as this should shake you to the core and make you ashamed of animation. Like, have you never watched porn? Were you unaware that other kids end up in sexual situations at ages like 11 and 12? Sure, it's gross, but goddamn man. Fucking Lolita is more hardcore than this, and that's a classic novel. It's a shit OVA, but really, it makes you "ashamed of anime?"

Nigga you are incredibly stupid.
It's boring as fuck and has no substance, but you can say that about plenty of shit shows, movies and OVAs. It's just bad, not some kind of defilement of the medium unless your entire exposure outside of it is Dragon Ball Z and Naruto.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is technically an OVA despite being 110 episodes (for the core series). If we exclude LOGH, Tsuiokuhen is the best OVA of all time. Then Seikai no Senki III. Then Seisouhen and Record of Lodoss War and Golden Boy and many others before FLCL.
