You think that's bad? Try looking up Blue Sub 6, or the Solbianca remake. One episode per disc, thirty bucks per disc. I remember being annoyed at how much it would cost to collect the entirety of Neon Genesis: Evangelion at four episodes a disc. I gave up completely when they started packing three episodes on instead, and kept using the shittiest masters imaginable. I had second generation VHS copies that looked better than some of those episodes.
Mind you, thirty bucks for a few episodes is nothing new. Buying anime on VHS for the same price set a precedent that they certainly weren't going to give up in the face of a new medium.
