Eh, they still manage to cough up a title or two that a low-brow like me enjoys: i.e. Rainbow Gate and Ladies vs. Butlers. Yes, I am aware that a large number of people would lump those in with "not trying to release anything worth having." Wink

I get they aren't paying monster license fees, I'm sure the operation is absolutely tiny and bare bones, but I still wonder how they keep the lights on.

Oh, that is easy. I figure that the owner has one employee, himself, an office in his bedroom and a small warehouse full of unsold product. I could be wrong about the warehouse.


"Oh, I am a cook and a captain bold,
And the mate of the Nancy brig,
And a bo'sun tight, and a midshipmite,
And the crew of the captain's gig."

I suppose it depends on how you define "warehouse." Assuming you stretch the definition to include, "a corner of your mother's basement..."

I wonder if that's the correct running time (51min)? The regular version is about 45min and then I believe there was also an international cut at 47min. The original Uncut DVD (still sold by RS) was listed as 60min, but the actual runtime was 53min (I owned it at one point) while I believe the Director's Cut was also listed at 60min, but I think was in fact closer to 51min with a few shots cut-out.

Looks like this release may be the Director's Cut edition with the listed runtime.

One release a year... MB's like a flower growing out of a crack in the sidewalk. You know it doesn't have a chance to survive but you can't help but to cheer it on.

Amazed Media Blasters is even still running at this point given their irregular release scheduling and lack of major titles beyond yaoi, yuri, ecchi, and hentai titles. Laughing
