This may be a stupid question...I think it is...but I am just weird. 
Are they/did they put Furrin Kazan on dvd...like..for people to buy it!? 
If so...can I buy it in America...or do I have to get it off the internet..?

truthfully, alot of DVDs in japan are expensive. @.@ but not like THAT!

Ah I see. But why is it THAT expensive? That's insane!

DVD boxes of dramas are very expensive in general in Japan. A box set of a regular drama (mostly between nine and twelve episodes) usually costs $200 and more. As for why they are so expensive, I really have no idea. I personally think they're really not worth the money because let's face it, how many times are you probably going to watch one and the same drama... And they never carry subtitles so for people who can't understand Japanese it's so not worth it even more.

but even with regular dvds, like tv shows, they are cheap in comparison to the Fuurin Kazan DVDs.

Youre right about it not being entirely worth buying. PLUS, it's in the old style of Japanese. Even if you did know Japanese, it may not help you :/

But you have to keep in mind that Fuurin Kazan consists of 50 episodes and runtime is about 2200 minutes which is way more than most things that get put on DVD so the price will be equally higher. Not that I think the high price is justified, I just want to point out how it comes that it is so expensive.

Usually I'm all for buying original merchandise but for drama DVDs, it's a different matter XD;

(lol I was thinking for a while what to write in this comment and all the time I had to stare at your icon. It made me dizzy XD~)

Good point! I think NHK is making each episode a bit more expensive than it should be, unless cool shit comes on each disk (like easter eggs, or behind the scenes stuff, etc.)

If i can afford it, I will buy it. Of if I find a better deal, I WILL take it. XD

(that is how i weaken my opponents, or anyone. lol my secret weapon!)
