I really can't think of too many examples of Bandai using anyone but Bang Zoom! in Cali lately though. I had no idea they were using NY VA at all. Well I never bother watching Kurokami so there you go.

jsevakis: If Macek can (sort of) make a comeback, I'm hoping for the same from John O'Donnell. I don't care if it's not the same operation as long as the guy doesn't go down with a whimper.

That's a real shame that Central Park Media went under. I just got into the Overfiend series and was really hoping that Central Park Media was going to redistribute the series at some point in the near future. Now, I have to hope that some other company gets the license for it. (I'm keeping my fingers crossed)

You are correct on all the above Justin but it makes no sense and since we both worked there, you after me you may know more in terms of the later CPM but I know quite a bit about the numbers per say. I believe this was in some ways planned or a general riding off into the pasture scenario but from what I have heard about the numbers this story is not over. It was something I brought up to you during cons...one adult anime a month could have easily sustained the operation not to mention all their evergreen titles. Sorry it does not equal up... -js |

Careful now. You may give some of us some hope with statements like that.

I believe the hope comes down to what Justin said. Whimper or a Fight? That is something I have also struggled with myself over many years as your business goes year after year it becomes tougher to wake up every morning and continue the hard fight. Only one person in this case holds the answer... -js |

nyc: O'Donnell should cut some sort of deal with TP or DMP get those goddamn yaoi yakuza f**ks off their backs, and split the profits from the sales in exchange.

Now this officialy sucks. Another decent company bites the dust due to the economy,and lack of sales which we all know who's responsible. I'm seeing the next one to go will be media blasters/anime works and if that happens, it'll be crisis city.

Is this a "worst-case" scenario that you are pointing out or is Media Blasters really in trouble? (I thought they were doing well, financially, but I could have missed an article about it) |

How can you expect a company that never releases any new titles to stay afloat? They didn't bother to re release any of their older titles like Now and Then, Here and There. |

That's so sad about CPM, I wonder what all those New York dub actors are going to do? I hate the fact that they might not be able to find work, and living in New York is expensive.

CPM hasn't dubbed an anime for years. So it's likely the New York dub actors just moved on. |

Since Media Blasters put Genshiken two on to be announced schedule (which often means it won't be released or it will take several months) and has only licensed average shows, I would not be surprized if Media Blasters went chapter seven. Shows like Ah My Buddha have been alreadly 100 times and is quite average, so why would anyone buy it? I bought the Kujibiki Unbalence series in good faith that Media Blasters would license Genshiken two, but now its on TBA. I wouldn't want anyone to lose their job, but I don't appreiciate waiting for possibly another year to Genshiken two. |

You could say the same thing about <insert name of shounen fighting show here>. (That said, even as someone who likes harem shows, I think Ah My Buddha is crap.) |

I blame illegal streaming & downloading, as well as renting and borrowing.
