June:

Another overall round-up...

Other than the Bakuman S1P1 BD cancellation, all other releases are either released or soon to be released.

Queen's Blade 2 (DVD) shipped before the release date and it's in select Best Buy stores as well. Simoun (AnimeWorks Classic) has shipped out, but in-stock status may vary from retailer to retailer. Fushigi Yugi S1 and Strawberry Panic (AnimeWorks Classics) are both shipping out as well (in-stock status again will vary from retailer to retailer); and from the looks of it, both releases will be stocked at select Best Buy stores.

September:
[list][*]Kanokon - The Girl Who Cried Fox: TV & OVA Collection - 350 minutes - $39.99 - 9/11/12 (Was 5/8/12)


OK, I've preordered this from Amazon and I'll see if I get it soon, if at all. From the sites I purchase from, only Rightstuf has this listed for September as everyone else lists June.

Not the same June date, mind you.

Yeah, that Kanokon release won't be released tomorrow. It shouldn't be anyways. Allegro (MB's distributor) has the release as a September release along with Kite (edited) on Blu-ray.

Has anyone gotten the MB version of Fushigi Yugi season one? I'm curious about the case. Is it a stack pack like some of their recent releases or some other form of DVD case??

It's suppose to be a 4-disc release. I would imagine a standard keepcase/litebox will be used here.

EDIT: And now RACS has both Simoun and Fushigi Yugi S1 in-stock.

If anyone cares, the Media Blasters Fushigi Yugi is not a stack pac. It is the same size as a standard DVD case with two discs on each side. The discs do overlap on each side.

Ooh, shiny, Nighthead Genesis, I already have the series, but I quite enjoyed it to be quite honest. It starts off a bit slow, and with a lot of "nii-san" going on, but I think it's worth sticking out the first few eps for sure. For some reason, at Otakon, I noticed NHG in the "yaoi" section, which made no sense to me as the series isn't yaoi in the slightest (the two characters on the cover are brothers for one thing, and I can't think of any other yaoi stuff going on)

It's not yaoi, you can even ask the Media Blaster people, they'll tell you it's in the non-yaoi section. And it's a table, only have so much room. It's mostly in the 13+ place.

As long as Media Blasters doesn't delay or cancel the second half of it like they did for Bakuman, then I might be tempted to pick up both box sets of Fushigi Yuugi at some point.

Wish they'd pick up the later OVA releases because I think they only snagged rights to the TV series.

Nope, they have the OVAs picked up or that's what I've gotten form the facebook replies I've seen.
