Actually if you look at the running times it says 60 minutes which would be
the first 2 episodes. Not to defend the company but it's general marketing
practice to place the sub atc a higher rate due to the lower sales involved
with the Sub. I could get into detail about the same price sub/dub thing but
I feel it would be more appropriate to discuss this Via Personal E-mail (I
have a ton of Insider stuff that most don't tell you).
On an unrelated (sorta) note The new Yuna series should be out by ADV in May
or June.
