    Yeah pretty sure bandai supplied like 1/3rd minimum of the shows on toonami/early adult swim.

    Oh and i think i heard that Unicorn will be okay but not 100% on that and pretty scared it won't be. I just have 2 expensive overpriced blu ray discs to go.

    Yeah, I'm quite sick of DVD-only anime releases here in the states.

  6. K-On came out in Bluray in the US. That was just a budget box set.

  7. Stephanie Sheh was complaining on her Twitter (and to some degree Facebook) about all the Pirates and people who watch the Fan Subs. Meanwhile she herself says she makes 4 times as much voicing a video game. Plus, she's Orihime for Viz media and that's no going anywhere.

    Say what you want about Sentai (Old ADV) & FUNimation - they know how to adapt & evolve. Bandai had license to 3 enormous potential cash-cows "Gundam", "Haruhi", & "K-On!" it's their own fault if they can't figure out how to turn a profit in America.

    Shit, I'd Kill for "K-On!" t-shirts or something I could buy in the USA. Hell, I have 1 Hatuhi T-shirt (that I love) and I paid $15 to some in Sinapore on Ebay (Same with my 2 Mikuru figures). Haruhi would be HUGE on "Adult Swim" - but Bandai wants people to PAY for something WITHOUT seeing it?? When 75% of it's USA fanbase is from people who saw the Subs??

    This is NOT the age of Video-Tape (Early 1990's) where you bought something 'Sight Unseen' and got stuck with it if it sucked! Now, EVERYTHING is cheaper to make and Easily TRADE-ABLE at a GameStop. No one wants to "Take a Chance" on ANYTHING without seeing it first! This is why TV series sales on DVD are so huge! People saw it first, Liked It! and wanted a Quality Copy in a nice Box! This isn't rocket-science Bandai.

    Get your stuff on Hulu or TV and Maybe someone will see it.

  8. I highly doubt Haruhi would work on Adult Swim.

    How did you not know that? Though technically, ADV still exists as a company what with the lawsuit against Gainax still going on.

    I haven't really been keeping up. I only noticed Sentai filmworks existed a few months ago.

    DUDE! They did "High School of the Dead" & "Demon King Daimon" dubs...pretty good actually. I liked Demon King better though.
    The recently did "Angel Beats" and Hilary Haag was Yui.
