Oh...Bellville! Right outside of Newark. I'm pleased to hear that you've tranferred to NJ. I wish you guys the best of luck in your relocation. Mystery solved everyone. MB no longer operates in New York. They're NOT dead, they're transferring operations to a different state. |

You know, the way you're flipping out over this makes you look pretty unprofessional. I don't know what exactly happened with the email and why it didn't go through but ANN obviously made every effort to contact you. It seems pretty disingenuous to loose your shit over not getting emailed when they also called you a bunch...and called your associate...and emailed your associate. Evidently this one is on you. Hence, freaking out over this one specific thing just seems like a BS deflection. |

Did you read any of the other posts they made? He said twice they only moved their Fever Dream office so they have more space for filming. He never said once that they moves offices. He even told us all why they were listed as dissolved and it had nothing to do with moving to New Jersey. If it was that simple, that's what he would have said instead of giving the tax explanation. You really need to think before you post. |

Freaking out? You do not get it, do you?
MB is not just faceless company, MB is like a child to me. I go to the cons, I speak with fans and have been since 1996. So yes I take it personal... One day when you have something you love and care for that much and someone does something like this to it and not even given a chance to respond, you will understand. But in the end I do need to move on and just keep releasing and going forward. Last edited by blaster on Fri May 04, 2012 5:41 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I see. You've been busy unpacking and organizing the new suite and therefore just emaling John S. & waiting for email would have anwsered MacDonald's inquiry. Problem solved. BTW, Mr. John S, Chris Beveridge left AnimeOnDVD a year ago. He now runs TheFandomPost. He can be easily contacted there. |

Please don't blame him for "losing his shit." People lose their shit all the time when the press uncovers stuff like this, and to be honest, I'd lose my shit if I was in his shoes too. This is going to seriously freak out his licensors, vendors and creditors (if they weren't previously informed of the situation). John probably has a very unpleasant week ahead of him (depending on how many partners he previously informed of this situation), and I genuinely feel sorry for him. It's just unfortunate that he either chose to ignore my voicemails, or for whatever reason did not receive them. Although, to be 100% clear, had they responded, the article still would have been posted, however it would have included their statement, as it does now.

i knew this was going to happen one way or the other. I will miss media blasters but it's time for them to go. I just hope some companies are able to pick up their licenses.

I think what IKillChicken was trying to say is that something like this should probably be taken care of behind the scenes, instead of in the comments where everyone can see and it looks bad overall for Media Blaster image. I don't blame him for being distraught, since this is probably a bad situation for his company, but there are other ways to handle it.

He is completely delusional at most times and has been banned at time from various forums for spreading rumors and outright lies, often falsely sourcing voice actors or anime producers that never coaberate his stories. No matter how many times he is corrected, he will keep insisting that his fairy tales are true. |

How are you reading "FD offices" here? What are you thinking it is an abbreviation for? Bear in mind that a previous message reads:
"have been in NJ" implies that he's now back from NJ. Which implies that the main office isn't in NJ.
No, the mystery was solved when they said:
See, that explains it. File for extensions in 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Secretary of State office denies the extensions now, or else the extension from 2009 expires before the paperwork is brought up to date (extensions being contingent on the return being filed in the allowed time), and so if the clock started ticking in April 2009, then two years from that date would be April 2011. Now they have to bring everything up to date. The connection with the move of the "FD location" to a location where they have more room for shooting would seem to be nothing but your attachment to the notion that Media Blasters is moving through front office to New Jersey.

Let's give Mr. Sirabella the benefit of the doubt and assume that everything he says is true. If that's the case, then this whole ordeal does not signal the end of Media Blasters. It's not yet time to write their obituary and say "I saw this coming." -t |

Nobody has "done" anything to your company. I totally understand that you're upset. This is obviously going to be a huge clusterfuck for you. However, trying to turn this into something ANN did to your company is just silly. Take some responsibility instead of blaming everyone else.
This. Again, being upset is understandable. Having a big old public shit fit on ANN's forum just seems unprofessional to me. |

My shitfit is not cause of the story, the story is true but without context from MB nor further research it simply is a story of us going out of business and spreads rumors.
If they could have contacted me and got the right information, the story would not be simply a defamation on MB but instead an explanation of the paper and actions we are taking. Maybe they could hire agila61, who through our post got it right quickly... See, that explains it. File for extensions in 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Secretary of State office denies the extensions now, or else the extension from 2009 expires before the paperwork is brought up to date (extensions being contingent on the return being filed in the allowed time), and so if the clock started ticking in April 2009, then two years from that date would be April 2011. Now they have to bring everything up to date. |
