Well, that's interesting.
Here's hoping for a Blu-Ray set too... |

There won't be. I don't think there has ever been an Anime Legends BD set.

If they do turn around and release a BD version this Legends release, I'm going to have Very Unkind Words for BEI. Very unkind. :/

To be fair, I don't think they really had enough to bother making an Anime Legends BD; the only other shows they released were "Kurokami" and "Star Driver," and the first volume of the former isn't even quite 2 years old. |

cheap full season run of k-on on blu-ray I can hear the japanese otaku screaming for it that didn't import the singles of the US release |

I wanted a BD box
Why choose the inferior option Bandai? Don't you want to go out with a bang? |

Man, whatever happened to the Zegapain Anime Legends set?
Anyways, I wonder if rightstuf will have something like the CPM liquidation event when licenses start expiring. Star Driver BDs were an easy buy. I'm on the fence about picking up the K-On BDs, though I may end up getting them sooner than later. I'm still very reluctant about the Kurokami BD singles, partially due to their crippled nature. |

I take it the reason why the Anime Legends isn't collected onto Blu-ray is because Japan is scared of reverse importers? So it seems like the only place that's going to get a K-ON! BD boxset is England...and that's if MangaUK don't cancel it like so many other blu-rays.
Rather than this being a sign that Bandai are still living; I'd say this release was planned quite a while ago and this will be one of their last releases (After all, didn't they say February was when they'd be closing up shop?). |

This is just one more reason why I don't like bandai. If this were Funimation or Sentai Filmworks, there would've been a blu-ray complete collection from the beginning instead of those outdated volume releases. As much I love to support the anime industry, if this doesn't get a complete blu-ray collection boxset, there goes another opportunity to have my money. :/
I wish Bandai would just go away and leave their anime to better US distributors such as Funimation and Sentai Filmworks, who are getting my money. I also like Nozomi/RightStuf but I wish they'd get on the BD wagon too. |

Manga UK have just announced that the K-On BD boxset is cancelled: http://www.uk-anime.net/newsitem/K-ON!_UK_box_set_release_confirmed_as_DVD_only.html We never even got BD singles. |

MangaUK were being really indecisive about that...on Facebook yesterday they said it was unlikely, on Twitter they were saying it's out in April. "Great" to see that it's finally cancelled >> Yeah, the UK BD market is crap for anime. MangaUK apparently wouldn't have sold enough blu-rays with single releases - hell; our Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was cancelled after 2 volumes >> Might as well get a multi-region player now... |

I'm not really surprised that the BD market isn't great over here; the only people I know who buy BD's are PS3 owners, and being a PS3 owner doesn't necessarily mean you're a person who will buy anime on BD, so... :/

I think this Fandom Post article from 8:14AM this morning does a good job summarizing the pros and cons of the Anime Legends release. Personally, I'm glad Bandai is doing this release, because I wasn't going to buy the singles.
