What I actually said was ALMOST no one, but I didn't mean to get sand under anyone's saddle blanket. Sorry if I opened up an ugly can of worms.
But you must admit that Shout! Factory has, by and large, not only released more than most other companies for this genre than most other outfits combined, AND they continue to release stuff we R1 folks here NEVER thought we'd see in the USA. Based on what I've read, it's pretty obvious that they'd have much rather have had full TBS participation and pristine source material to use for their "Q" and "7" releases, but thanks to the legal asshattery tied to the Chaiyo/TBS baloney they had to take what they could get. Who knows. perhaps one day in the future TBS will get this mess 100% straightened out once and for all and we'll see razor sharp Blu-Ray releases from the Ultra cannon with source materials direct from the TBS vaults WITH their full cooperation. (Hey, I can dream, can't I?)
