Who was it that said that Media-Blasters seemed like "some guy selling stuff out of the back of a van" a number of years ago? Because they've been proven right once again.

Kruszer, any update from RS? I'm curious to know what the delay was... as it seems they sold out of the stock they received. The product page says unavailable at the moment so something if going on with the release, minus the disk error that was reported on facebook.


The guy I talked to said something about their warehouse being jam-packed and over cluttered and that he thinks it was waiting for Tokyo Ravens part 2 in order to ship and that it should ship out whenever they get more of it. Meanwhile Tokyo Ravens part 2 has been listed as in-stock for a long time now according to the website, but I think I trust his computer's records more than the new semi-dysfunctional website.


...And I got a shipping email from them for both Yosuga no Sora and the 2nd half of Tokyo Ravens today.

Is this the first proper confirmation that this is getting a BD release? I know it was listed on Amazon, but since MB hasn't said anything (unless I missed it), I didn't really trust it. But if RightStuf lists it, I'm inclined to believe it's really coming out.

I feel the same way. Now I just need confirmation on whether they not they have the specials.

^^^

You do know what those specials are, right? I would never hinge my decision to buy that series on whether or not a handful of badly animated POV strip teases are included.

Yes I know what they are, and that's why I care. I don't need to buy the show to see it, so if I buy it I want it to be complete.

The BD actually appeared on TRSI first, but it disappeared for a while after the site changeover. It was also included in an Allegro Media catalogue: http://issuu.com/allegrographics/docs/aug_15video

Another delay for Ladies Versus Butlers. Now it could be February 2, 2016... according to Amazon and Rakutan anyway. Rightstuf just lists it as "out of stock" so... yeah. 2016. Already expected it.

I don't know anymore, I mean "any more". Since 2013, every MB release is a "well, that happened" for me.

I preordered the Nov 3 version because I don't expect it to be around for long but I'm also hedging my bet with "not at all" at around 40%.

Media Blasters just needs to kick the bucket already. I don't think anybody expects them to actually release anything anyway.

Pretty amusing because this week's Shelf Life even had a little blurb about it, but I guess it should be removed. MB just can't do anything right, and I still doubt the all-important extras are on there.
