Angry Spirited Away Fans Strike Back
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."
Does anyone happen to have screen shots of the Japanese version that we could look at? I would like to see first hand how bad this tint is to get that many complaints because in the year 2000 Japan only had ~126,926 people.

Isn't it about time that you Americans drastically change your legal system? How can someone claim damages for an imperfect product other than a simple money-back deal? We are not talking about explosive disks, right? And then there's still Microsoft...

My Jap's eye emits a subtle off-white liquid from time to time. Could be related.
Or maybe he's just sane, unlike the wannabe-otaku pussies who whine about every little thing. Anime fags, you're pathetic. Go back to your dreams of tentacle rape.
a lot of japanese have more sensitive eyes than most europeans (caucasian, white etc, this is not meant as a racist comment) and can detect subtle differences in hues of a colour that others don't.
Is this why their only real color adjectives are red, brown, yellow, blue, black, and white? (and brown is just "tea-colored")
Does this red tint really interfere with their enjoyment of the humiliation of women and suble pedophilia?
