They're buying 'em on credit!

->If Planetes could be rescue-relesed with the Japanese extras and all the NASA videos, I would be ecstatic. ->If Planetes & all the extras were rescue-released and Sentai redubbed the series, I would be beatified. ->If Planetes & all the extras were rescue-released with a new dub, and the 2nd season of Moonlight Mile were to also be released dubbed, I would have the stereotypical anime nosebleed and die of the resulting exsanguination or happiness. Whichever would happen first.
C'mon Sentai! On this movie, I've never heard of it, but I'll probably buy it. Sentai might indeed go bankrupt, but it won't be for lack of support from me.   [/list]

Or somewhat less ominously: if the studios don't care about our market, they are becoming increasingly willing to take more of a tail (and lower the boot) in case of a surprise success. Royalties... all the fun of credit, but with a much lower chance of bankruptcy. |

Well it might be that for: DVDs 11-13 episodes they charge $50 24-26 episodes they charge $70 Blu-Rays 11-13 episodes they charge $60 24-26 episodes they charge $90 If they have been recently dubbed under Sentai Filmworks they add another $10, however all Blu-Rays are dubs. And it looks like they knock off around $10 from ordering from their rightstuf page. |

A lot of titles are being acquired for little or no money up front, according to reps from Funi and Sentai. For certain properties, the rights holders are sometimes just getting a percentage of sales. So the only initial costs would be the localization and production costs (replication,etc). Sometimes the rights holders are willing to accept a lower upfront fee for a higher percentage of sales down the line. It could be why we've seen prices creep up a little the past year from most companies. |

Guess I'm in the minority that isn't surprised by Sentai's growth and success.
They've released more dubs since 2010 (releases with dubs usually sell better tha sub-only stuff), and licensing some popular and best-seller titles like Highschool of the Dead and Samurai Girls (ecchi = $$$) probably brings in a nice cashflow. Since Planzet is a CoMix Wave title I wonder if it was part of a bundle deal. Maybe Sentai has Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo (Children who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below) also? 
Though the movies I really want Sentai to get is the Fist of the North Star: Legends of the True Savior saga!

In fact considering how they've picked up the frequency of their dubs, I'd say there are prominent signs they are finally feeling quite stable again and able to get back to business, which has been shown in some of their very strong pickups. |
