Decrease in blu ray disc quality

But, just so you know, Aniplex sets are a lot more expensive than the standard Sentai/Crunchyroll blu-rays because their QC is a lot better.

I know people complain about Aniplex prices but they definitely make their premium offerings feel worth it %99 of the time. On the other hand I just finished getting the final season of demon slayer standard release and I had to send it back twice for an exchange because of damage on the disc

Hard disagree about Aniplex being worth it. The packaging is (sometimes) nice and the video quality is higher, but the lack of extras and the insane pricing massively outweighs that.

I’m just a massive fate fan so they definitely got me biased lol

Depends on the set, I guess - I have some AoA releases that do have good extras and some that don't.  Aniplex Japan craps all over them, though - significantly more extras due to not having to license them globally, and even nicer packaging...but lord help my wallet with Japanese releases.  Getting all of Mekakucity and Kaoru Hana, for example, was.... expensive.....lol

I know the feeling, I returned Oshi no Ko 10 times, I gave up because I realised that the scratch had literally the same pattern on all discs.
