Angry Spirited Away Fans Strike Back

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the colorized-classics dept.

peter_gzowski writes "Anime News Network is reporting that, 'The Japanese consumers in the Kyoto and Hyogo prefectures of Japan have filed a lawsuit against Walt Disney Japan over the red tint on the Japanese DVD release of Spirited Away.' Japanese consumers who purchased the Spirited Away DVD were very disappointed when they discovered a red tint to the film. A hundred thousand consumers complained, but Buena Vista Home Entertainment Japan (a subsidiary of Walt Disney) pretended nothing was wrong with the disc. The original source of news of the suit can be found (in Japanese) at Mainichi. No response from Disney yet."

      I think we can now conclude with complete certanity that video games aren't just marketed at pimply faced hypercephalic adolescent and pre-adolescent boys. Nope, nosiree. They're also apparently marketed at any male creature thing that has never quite gotten used to the appearance of a female midriff. . .
