| Yay! I personally don't buy anything from them but it's certainly a relief to hear a US anime company doing well |

It is rather nice to hear that a company is expanding rather than pulling back, isn't it. |

Same here, I'm a Sub only fan, and it's great not to be paying $10+ Extra for a Dub I never even watch, plus I get more Episodes on a DVD too as there's more space! |

| At any rate, they're not downsizing. I think that brings about some good news of relief with all of the other news we've been hearing about certain other companies. |

Media Blasters has a pretty diverse list of foreign/cult offerings (obligatory fist pump for Shaw Brothers films) outside of anime that bring in a lot of niche buyers, so their eggs are spread into a couple of different baskets so-to-speak. Though their stuff might not be for everybody, Media Blasters has always struck me for knowing the right titles to fit their audience. |

| Glad to see that at least one company is expanding these days. That's at least one good sign of the state of US anime industry. |

| Hm... a new location to increase distro. Maybe they could offer their services to Geneon, for a fee, so those series that were still worked on could actually be released. *futile wishing* |

I too am glad to hear of an anime company expanding instead of downsizing.
Now here's hoping they'll finish GaoGaiGar and bring over Kamen Rider: The Next since they have The First. |

With Phoenix and the upcoming Kujubiki Unbalance, both included dubs and were offered at the same price as their subonly discs with similar episode counts, so it's a winning situation all around for fandom, really. MB are really pushing things forward [without going overboard] |
