They ought to price boxed sets of the TV shows at prices that people could afford. The Ghost in the shell TV series would be a good exception to that rule, as you can get each season (26 episodes each) for about 70-100$ on amazon, but for most anime stuff, that would hardly get you half a season. When people look at 30$ for 3-4 episodes (or for 1 with the freedom HD-DVDs) versus something like 30-40$ for an entire season of a lot of American shows (animated or live action) I think they just balk at it and buy something else. There are a lot of series I would buy if they were 50-100$ a season rather than what they cost now.
you must be buying them individually b/c there are a lot of places that sell them much cheaper if you wait for the complete seasons. anime corner store amazon - buy it used for even less (if you can trust them) buy . com OR... you can be smart like me and rent them through netflix or rentanime all good choices and i'm sure there's plenty more
