This is not a new story, but it brings up a good issue.
Sentai Filmworks a North American anime licencor was going to release the Blu-Ray to the Persona 4 animated series with both English dubs and Japanese subs, however due to Japanese licencor request the subs were pulled. This caused Sentai Filmworks to reprice the Blu-Ray to $59.99 ten dollars down the original price. (original price $69.99).
I can watch both the subs and the dubs depending on the anime itself, the situation, where its located, and how much racial ambiguity is there, but people want a choice. Fans will get their hands on the Persona 4 whether it be importing from the UK or using torrents. It's just disappointing to see this happen, period. Not only might this hurt the sales but it also may hurt whatever momentum they had with the release of the video game.
