Bandai Tends to make ultimately Strong New York Anime Festival Announcements
Bandai Entertainment produced a definite splash at the New York Anime Festival/Comic Con at this time based on what you happen to be enthusiastic about. The panel covered numerous properties and in essence certainly only had a single new license announcement, however they also supplied significant Gundam news for old college fans, touch on KOn! as well as a extended requested Bluray release.
Bandai announced that they have ultimately, finally, acquired the Japanese language rights to the original Mobile Suit Gundam series, a thing that feels odd typing as there is usually been yet another word after Gundam as a result of all of the spinoff series. The show might be released in bilingual format in two Anime Legends components in 2011 together with the 42 episode series acquiring a appropriate release. Previously, the only edition available was the dubonly Television releases (which in no way produced it to a complete collection) or the 3 compilation films that numerous take into account to be superior for the Television series.
Bandai also announced that they've managed to obtain the release of Gundam Unicorn on DVD, even though it will likely be staggered from the Bluray release which is having a simultaneous worldwide release as they come out. The DVD editions will function two episodes per disc, producing it a 3 disc release, for $30 a disc. No dates or specs are but set, particularly because the second Gundam Unicorn OVA has but to be released.
Fans of KOn! will be delighted to know that it will likely be receiving a Bluray release, but fans of KOn! normally may possibly be dismayed that it along with the DVD release will be accomplished more than 4 volumes. It will be released in each common and restricted editions for every single volume (29.98, 39.98 for the DVD with CD inclusion as the LE, 34.98 and 44.98 respectively for the Bluray editions with CD for the limited there). No tracks have yet been decided plus the release is planned for the spring of 2011.
Bandai also touched around the Haruhi movie although only stating it would be released in the spring of 2011 and no specs are prepared but.
The panel also revealed the extended though awaited Bluray announcement for the Girl Who Leapt By means of Time, but declined to supply specs or perhaps a 2011 and date for it.
The new licensing announcement for the panel was the significantly expected Gundam 00 theatrical film which will be bilingual but nothing additional has been decided but.
they nevertheless wont say if KOn is going to be a hybrid bluray, or will we be stuck with english only, I would like to know, and the entire four disc release factor isn't a big deal, kinda closer for the japanese releases, but still cheaper epecially if it will likely be hybrid.
that's a single in the reaons I havent bought kurokami on bluray is as a result of it being english only
never liked gundam, so something gundam releated is usually a pass for me anyway,
but I hope they hold the original style of cases for Kon, and I hope the LE's is going to be worth it, I will just wait for the evaluation, then decide to buy it or not
(In ahead of hectotane tends to make the usual "bancoholding" rant.)
Gotta agree, Calibur454. For Bandai, it's one particular step forward, two steps backwards, and one step in the incorrect direction (in other words, small business as usual).
You'd consider that soon after releasing Haruhi Season 2 on DVD as a set that they would've learned their lesson, that singles do not sell any longer. Nicely, appears like they've learned nothing at all at all, as they are releasing KOn exactly the same way they released Haruhi S.1 and Fortunate Star (sorry, hardcore collectors, but there is a explanation why Best Stuf was selling off a enormous supply of limited editions of all of the Haruhi and most of the Lucky Star DVDs at deep discounts, and it absolutely wasn't since they sold like hotcakes. mmm, hotcakes). If it did not perform three years ago, a great deal significantly less two years ago, odds are it will not perform out like they had planned. I appear forward for the KOn Anime Legends box set in late 2012 or 2013 (and by "box set", I imply "four discs shoehorned into a case meant for only one").
Yeah, I am glad they're acquiring back in to the BluRay game with "The Girl Who Leapt By means of Time", but they're still miles behind the competition with regards to BluRays (hell, even Sentai Filmworks has/will have released extra BluRay series and films by the end of this year than Bandai will prior to the finish of subsequent year).
You'd think having a lighter release schedule, they'd really buckle down and rerelease some of Bandai Visual's titles at a reduced price tag. Nope, rather we get Gundam Unicorn on DVD for $30 per twoepisode DVD release. Has practically nothing been learned from the whole Bandai Visual USA debacle? And what is worse may be the "Haruhichan/Nyoron Churuyasan" miniseries is being released as a twoparter for $25 a disc when it should've been completed as a single disc (preferably as a part of the Haruhi S.two DVD set).
I was definitely hoping that issues would've changed for the better by the end of the year. Alas, Ken Iyadomi, Robert Napton and Loy Fruel are even more outofsync with basic anime fandom than Milli Vanilli and their singing (look it up, kids).
