Oh, but there is. There's a HUGE market for such stuff. And there's not many companies that can get to sell those movies.

It's actually kind of cool, but I think this'll hurt their reputation.

Kitty Media is responsible for the Hentai and the 70's classic erotica. The Yaoi stuff is published through Kitty Media as well.

I don't think it's too strange, since Media Blasters already releases Asian live-action stuff as well as cult cinema offerings. This is another niche market for them, and likely a profitable one.

It's good for Media Blasters.

It gives them another steady stream........of income. That means hopefully that they'll be able to massage more titles out of Japan.

It's good for Media Blasters so it should be good for us.

Oh Yeeeeeees.

All the Best,

Nani?

Media Blasters isn't exclusively an anime company. Kitty and Anime Works are their anime labels. They also release live action movies under the Tokyo Shock and Shriek Show labels.

oO; great, now I bet somehow anti-fans will get onto our case more about Anime being pure porno.

Laughing Most likely not. I would laugh if this were to happen though. Kinda like when someone says anime's porn, I laugh. I gave up on explaining.

Those titles should be like classic art now, as most of the "stars" are either old wrinklies, or dead by drugs, AIDS, or both by now. Wink
