So when we say season, what do they mean? Thirteen episodes, 26, 52? The characters in the show seem to only make the distinction by the year. |

ADV IS dead. This is Sentai
You forgot we had to milk the cow for our milk so we could have healthy bones, go out in the fields & pick the food to be cooked into dinner. Someone had to go up on the roof & monkey with the antenna so we could get reception on the 3 networks on air & each channel probably had to point in a different direction... Gatsu-yeah, $200 was too much for FY which is why I held out until they put out that Signature line & bought it as singles for less. Unfortunatley I was left hanging on the El Hazard OVA-one or 2 eps shy so the only option is to buy the set when I have 3/4ths of the eps from the signature line or do without.
I hope you mean this license round, because if you're saying you have never heard of Fist of the North Star, You're Under Arrest, Mahoromatic, or He is My Master, that's nothing to be proud of. You need to read up a bit more on your hobby. Even though I have no interest in He is My Master, I've at least heard of it, To Love-Ru, hell, I've heard of every name listed in the encyclopedia under their entry even if I may have no idea what each title is about. One sees them listed in news items, etc. on this site. |

Gintamaaaa!!! So happy to see it released in R1, so sad that it has a pigs-flying-in-Hell chance of ever being dubbed
 Hope it has lots of extras, and I want to see the Italian dubbed version with subs now more than ever. One of the fun things about watching anime on DVD is listening to different audio tracks and comparing the voice performances.

It's great seeing the very funny Gintama licensed along with the touching and emotional Asatte no Houkou, guaranteed buys from me.
I am wondering why Sentai dubbed a random live action Japanese film (although it was a 'Ghost Stories' kinda dub script) but don't announce at least one new anime dub project...  I just miss all the old ADV actors.

Most R1 anime companies do not require retailers to sign contracts forcing retailers to honor street dates. It is simply too much hassle to track the sales and see if someone has violated them. It's the same reason that Right Stuf and Anime Corner are allowed to ship product out early for most companies. The only exception to this is Viz, which is distributed by Warner. Since Warner now handles it, they require all their street dates to be honored, which includes Viz product. Should we have held the product back? Yes, but honestly, no one notices or cares when street dates on anime are broken, unless it's something like a Studio Ghibli title. Besides selling it all now insures that we will get replenished before the actual street date. |

I know this for a fact. I went to SakuraCon in 2009 and while there one booth was selling a new Funimation title (can't remember which one, I bought so many there) so I went to the Funimation booth to get it there as they had the best prices at the convention. They said it wasn't out for two weeks. When I told them that a booth across the convention hall had it for sale they took it out and released it on the spot. Good for me as I bought the first half of the series earlier that day and now I had the second half and at a good price. |

Yeah, technically we are suppose to honor the street dates on all product, and at least at my store we usually do. But in the case of anime, there are no penalties if you don't. While if you violate the street date on a Warner product, you cannot only get fined but not be allowed to cary their product, or be forced to release it AFTER the actual street date.
Most DVD and Bluray new releases come in boxes that are repeatedly marked with street date, as to help prevent copies going out early. But anime releases generally do not, and often come in with replenishment product that is already out. A lot of employees at Best Buy and FYE won't check the dates on these, or just don't care. So they will sneak out pretty easily. Plus, Skull Man had an awesome cover. I didn't want to hide it in our warehouse. But I have to say I was surprised by how many Best Buys are carrying it. They must have slightly higher expectations for it. |

" Dear Sentai (formally known as ADV): In my opinion Gintama is not a very good title, therefore I will not be purchasing it should it ever get a UK licence. Please try to do better in future, as I know you can. Kind Regards Conan-san. " I hope this is useful. |

So was that legitimate UK slang?

Indeed it was. Our friend Conan-san appears to show some dissatisfaction towards the subtitling present within the title in question.
Regardless of the legitimacy of such a complaint, I remain indifferent on the matter of Gintama. Issues of subject matter aside, I find myself repelled from shows featuring very high episode counts. |

That's pretty interesting, considering neither he nor any of us have seen the subs that will be present on the DVD. I think he needs to get over the Clannad sets, as Sentai no longer hire JN to do their subs after those. |
