This. This show is too good and too gorgeous (with a nice soundtrack too) for DVD. This and Psycho-Pass were my two favorites from this season. |

I had no clue whatsoever that Gyo had a movie made. I've only seen bits of the manga, but it seemed oddly fun. Not something I would buy, but I wouldn't mind seeing it sometime.

I also find it funny because I loved a good bit of Blast of Tempest and while I know it's obviously nowhere near as good as FMA, I so could have seen Funi selling this and dubbing it on some simmering FMA-hype due to the animation studio, visual style, and mix of modern and magic (I'm not saying they're similar or of equal quality but they're probably similar enough to try to hook FMA fans which is what got me to check out the show thanks to the trailers and Oshima's involvement with the OST and then I enjoyed the show).

People should get used to titles like Tempest, which are published by Aniplex, never going to the other licensers anymore. Aniplex of America is just picking up everything Aniplex produces now.

Unfortunately, this is extremely unlikely. 
I'll be buying Blast of Tempest. Good prices, Aniplex-wise. Six discs, not four. I'll take the chance. |

Last year, Sentai picked up the Persona 4 anime. That was an Aniplex title. They're also in negotiations for more Ginatma, also Aniplex. I wish Aniplex was doing what Sunrise is doing. They still hold the actual license, but distribute their products through other companies. |

While I really liked Blast of Tempest I agree in this case that it looks too good to not be on BD, that and no dub kind of kill my interest in this release. I might pick it up still but I'm not too sure I want it if they just end up releasing something better down the road.
Anyhow, it's not like didn't suspect they'd pull this shit from the moment they announced it anyway....

GYO was pure adorable insanity. There is no way my home will not house it at some point. I never did finish watching BoT when it was simulcast on CR (not because I wasn't enjoying it; I was. Just circumstances at that time resulted in me not finishing a bunch of shows). DVD is fine for me.

While I wouldn't have minded as such to import, it'll probably come out at around £40. I'll be waiting in hope for a UK or AU release.

Yeah, those are older titles. I'm talking about since the success of Aniplex of America came around, pretty much all titles are now being picked up instead of being handed over to other licensers. animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2013-04-01/aniplex-of-america-has-acquired-the-new-animated-series-valvrave-the-liberator animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-10-12/aniplex-usa-adds-sword-art-online-blast-of-tempest-magi-anime animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2013-03-04/aniplex-of-america-has-acquired-the-second-season-of-oreimo http://www.otakustudy.com/2013/01/aniplex-of-america-announce-oreshura-set-to-hit-crunchyroll-this-week/ http://www.otakustudy.com/2013/01/aniplex-of-america-announce-acquisition-of-vividred-operation-anime-series-to-simulcast-it-from-this-month/ The only Aniplex title I can think of to not get picked up by them since Fall 2012 is Shin Sekai Yori, but thats probably just because they don't think its fanbase would pay their normal prices (people in Japan didn't pay the high prices for it). |

Now prepare for the 2014 Syfy/Asylum live-action adaptation of GYO. When mutant fish attack Los Angeles, only a team of animal control agents can save the day! Starring Michael Madsen, Bruce Boxleitner and MC Hammer!
COMING SOON (yeah I'm excited, even with DVD only.) |

Great. I was looking forward to the usual shitty choice between a nice collector's BD that costs literally hundreds of dollars and a bare bones DVD that costs about what I'd expect the nice BD collector's edition to cost. Lovely to see I won't even have that choice. It seems that they've gone with the less palatable option as well. I mean, I might just consider going out and spending a couple hundred dollars on Tempest. I really enjoyed it. But if I'm gonna go out and drop $100+ on a TV show I'm sure as hell gonna be fully satisfied with what I'm getting and that's definitely NOT the case with a bare bones, sub only DVD. So yeah, I think this is a pass. Frankly, if I really decide I want a DVD so bad I'll just burn one myself. I feel zero compulsion to support a company with such blatant contempt for its customers. And hey, maybe we'll get a dubbed BD somewhere down the road that I can grudgingly spend hundreds of dollars on. |
