Oh, Bandai Rolling Eyes They have more date changes than releases.

So then, they're releasing Kurokami in singles instead of parts and now the long awaited BR is dub only. I'm a dub fan through and through, but I'm also against single audio releases that aren't Pokemon, Bakguan, or Yugi-oh because then you just single out the fan base and cut sales. Wasn't this stuff supposed to die out with VHS's?

Good thing I already own most of the stuff I wanted from them because I'm very worried.

Which is the second time My-Otome has been bumped. Maybe somebody can enlighten me: what could cause delays like this given that what is being released has already been put out in single volumes (i.e. all relevant material is already available)? It's really annoying.

$30 for 6 Kurokami episodes is a joke because Bandai is obsessed with singles not boxsets from the get go. If it was 8-9 episodes, then it's more of my taste.

How many times has R2 now been bumped up? ROFL.

I'm seriously considering boycotting Bandai from now on. This is [removed] at it's highest.

[Mod Edit: Seriously, is that kind of language really necessary? It's not only inappropriate for the boards, but it's insulting and inflammatory towards towards that portion of our society. If you can't make a post without insulting or attacking people, or even use offensive language that serves no other purpose but to attack people, then don't post at all. - Keonyn]

John, I really wish you'd stop sugar-coating your words and, for once, come out and tell us how you really feel about something. Laughing

So basically Bandai moves their entire release schedule back one to two months? Can't say I'm surprised since it seems most of their titles seem to jump all over the map every month. The third time I've had to update my schedule? Bad form Bandai, bad form indeed.

Blood-, I positively (blood joke) think John is acting like me. That is, me agreeing with something and not stating their opinion further.

Given that they seem to be pushing back releases more than actually releasing anything, I suppose that means that the chances of seeing a Code Geass complete collection anytime soon are pretty slim. Maybe by time R2 is fully released? So in the next two years. Maybe by then I'll bite the bullet. Although a BD release of it would be nice...

In all unglazed, de-greased seriousness though, this really is bulls***. First Geneon then ADV. Is Bandai next? And worse yet...are they next not due to the economy, but their own dumba** business decisions?
