3) Failed to answer phone... how basic is this?
4) Failed to keep fans posted on release schedules.

and, yeah, what Wervy said. This behavior goes back several years at least, maybe more if my memory serves.
Actually a lot of businesses have phone triage. Try calling Media Blasters and see if you get a response.

Bandai Ent is better to use email imo.

Really the only ones that are good with phones are Animeigo, FUNi (when a live person picks up), Nozomi, Urban Vison and VIZ. Synchpoint, when it was around, was also good with phones. It's all staff related. If you have the staff, then you can answer the phone.
