Regarding the LiSA albums: do any of those contain the any of the songs she did for "Angel Beats!"? Not that I would expect Aniplex to call attention to AB, since it was from a different studio (P.A. Works, licensed here by Sentai)

Aniplex is Sony and the Angel Beats music I'm pretty sure is Sony Music label so I don't think there'd be much if any conflict of interest.

Seemed like a fairly biennale event.

Aniplex is a Production company, not an animation studio.

Considering that the Angel Beats! BDs were released by Aniplex in Japan...

As of right now, nothing with the Girls Dead Monster label is released. I think all they have right now is uh... Letters To U, oath sign, LOVER'S'MILE, and crossing field. They count singles as albums.

Don't think they'll reach into the back catalog to release any of the GDM singles or Keep The Beats.

"For Fate/Zero, Rivera said that once the Blu-ray Disc set sells out, Aniplex will then consider a DVD re-release." - I assume this means no domestic BD for Rakkyo either. This makes me sad. Not everyone can afford to spend $400-$700 on a single series. They will be missing out on a rather large amount of untapped money.

A Japanese BD box was announced the other day so that may be it! We've been waiting far too long.

Taiwan had to suffer through the F/Z BD Box import as well, and their first DVD single comes out today. The more and more stuff coming from Taiwan, the less and less I think reverse importation fears are legit and there are other reasons for our issues.

I've seen you mention this Rakkyo before - what is it? I did an Encyclopedia search on that title and there's no listing for a show with that title.

Fate/Zero was offered import BD-Boxes option (like AoA). Mighty Media had noted early on that they plan to release the series on DVD and Blu-ray (of which was revealed they weren't allowed to do so at this time).

There is also Blue Exorcist (Muse). They had intended to release both DVD and Blu-ray. They were able to release DVD only. No word on Blu-ray (it's likely they weren't allowed to do so).

The latest would be the Madoka Magica movies (first two). Muse won't be able to release it on Blu-ray. This development is rather odd since they were one of the first distributors to release the TV series on Blu-ray outside of Japan. This could mean that Aniplex (JP) may be planning some sort of international import release (possibly with at least English subtitles option). I will not be surprised if AoA end of offering the first two movies as direct Japan imports. Obviously all this is speculation until the Japan home video release gets solicited (and we may know more one way or another).
