NEWS: Media Blasters Drops Lodoss Wars Release Plans

Cartoon boobs even sell in America, huh? I always thought Americans hated ecchi but I guess not.

Makes me sad that good classic anime gets the shaft while there is shit like Squid Girl being released.

I believe that Nozomi's policy is not to go to the expense of an English dub anymore. I believe that the last Nozomi title that was dubbed in English was The Third, which was released mostly in 2007.

True, although I think that was when they were just getting started in the industry. Now that they have a bit of a grapple right now, maybe they could try again. ...

It's good to hear they'll dub all of QB at least. It's a terrible show, but I watched the first season in passing on Netflix, and I really enjoyed hearing Excel screeching again...hopefully she doesn't damage her vocal chords and get replaced again.

I wouldn't hold my breath for it. I'm expecting in a few weeks to hear that they aren't going to dub it after all.

Looks like Media Blasters will be dead soon.

Sub-porn isn't breaking a company that's been responsible for bring in real porn for decades.

It hurts the industry when that's all a company (That isn't expresively in it for the porn) puts out (...huh).

Queen's Blade should have been a foundation upon which stuff like Lodss War and Bakuman should have come forth.

Instead, it's the only, really crappy, game in town. You want things that ADV or Funi won't release? Better hope someone else comes pops out of nowhere to do it because all Media Blasters wants is to fart out some more awful crap that, frankly, is an embarrassment to the idea of animated porn.

You make it seem like Media Blasters is just full of perverts who want to release nothing but ecchi anime even as it kills their bottomline.

Anime companies are not some charity who are going to release shows that they don't think will sell just because you really want the Lodoss war OVA.

All I see is proof that Queen's Blade is superior to both Lodoss War and Bakuman and people like it more.

Once their Queen's Blade cow dries up, that means they'll have to release Qwaser next. To which I rejoice.

lol, is sub-porn a new category? I have never viewed animated T & A as anywhere close to being pornography. Although I did think Queens Blade was rather cheesy, like the "B" movies with bimbos made in America. But shocking, or offensivie? Puhleeze, not at all.

I'm saying nothing, I'll just let you stew in the fact that you just called Queens Blade better than Bakuman and Lodoss War and realise how utterly stupid that statement is.

Then again, if you're calling for Qwaser as well, there might not be any saving you..

And people Said Queens Blade wouldn't hurt the industry. Well, here we are, in a world where Lodss War is getting denied it's Blu Ray release and we're getting as much badly done sub-porn as we want.

If you think the over the top, but firmly tongue in cheek sensuality Queen's Blade is an affront to humanity and the evolution of this artform, try watching Kite: Uncut, Bondage Game, Bible Black or Apocalypse Zero... just do so with a bucket handy. You might need it.

Read jsevakis' posts in the dang thread, guy. We were never getting a Blu-ray release of Lodoss War, and it's not any other title's fault. The fact that Media Blasters didn't do their homework before announcing the license doesn't mean anything other than John Sirabella is good at shooting his mouth off without anything substantial enough to back it up.

You clearly have zero grasp of the titles that established Media Blasters as a successful company. They had stuff like Kenshin and Berserk and some real high-quality mainstream TV shows, sure, but they were literally founded on fun, exploitive garbage, and their Exploitation Digital and Kitty Media sublabels have released explicit hardcore material that must number well into the hundreds!
