Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

What in tarnation...
Stuff targeted to super fans is always really expensive in Japan. Even back in the 80s in Japan, OVA tapes would be expensive af. Here's a neat reddit comment that shows an old ad from Newtype magazine and tries to hash out the cost.
I think in Japan, "normal" people just watch stuff on TV or read cheaply printed manga magazines (they even have manga cafes for this) and the true sickos spend big bucks on blurays and tankobon collectors releases.
god damn i didn't realize it was that bad
I think most consumption of OVAs back then was through rentals, which makes a lot more sense than paying $50 in 2023 money per episode, but this is coming off of half-remembered Mobile Suit Breakdown episodes lol.
that's how the bluray industry works now, so i assume that's a carryover from back then
