Bandai Entertainment: No New BDs. DVDs, Manga after February
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...dvds-bds-manga At least they'll still print out DVDs of their existing library until the licenses expire but I am very sad to hear that Gosick won't be released by them. I hope Sentai or Funimation license rescues that(although Funi getting it would mean that CR will lose another library title). I am sure that Nichijou being cancelled for a release will upset some. I hope that Sentai picks up the second season of K-On so I can buy that(and maybe down the line be able to do a boxset of the first season with the right music in one scene and with the JP extras). |

<sigh> I can only buy so many products, more anime fans need to actually buy what they like... Some of the industry I've said, "Good riddance" but Bandai I always appreciated.

Ohh man
I was planning on buying the first season of K-On, I have yet to watch it but I hear a lot of positive things about it. I'm glad i'll still be able to buy it for the time being, but I guess the second season is a no go Does this also include the K-On movie being effected?

Anyway, I hope that the second Gundam 0079 set actually makes it out. That's the only thing they have left on their schedule I'm interested in other than Nichijou. And I seriously hope Nichijou doesn't end up in some sort of licensing hell that prevents a R1 disc release. It would suck if they don't sub-license it for DVD release by someone else and just stream it (or never release it at all). |

What would be best is if they lose their licenses and someone like Funimation picks Code Geass and Gundam 00 up and gives us blu-ray releases.
Seriously, Bandai has made some really poor choices. They release Unicorn in two movie parts on DVD only... *shakes head*...

Nah. There is Sentai, NISA, Section23 and I"m sure I'm forgetting others.

They also should have revised their release style. No three parted volumes or anything. Funi did their homework and found the consumer prefers to have more episodes in a release and I think it's working out well for them.
