assuming that all of the BD's volumes have now been released in Japan, mid spring, early summer would be a good guess.

you want to watch an anime movie to decide if you want to buy the series or not? i'm not sure what you are smoking but you should stop.

I think that Fujiko was released last month (or August?) in Japan as a boxed set.

Looking forward to the eventual blu-ray for that myself, the eps I saw were pretty gorgeous.

At least the Tenchi OVAs weren't delayed too far. From December 4th to December 18th. At least they'll still be released before Christmas, and hence I still have a Christmas gift for my brother.  I'm a happy camper.

The answer I've heard for both of these is "Spring of next year".

If this were true, I would not blame FUNi. This is a business, and they should be competitive. |
Actually considering Funi's comments in the past about not wanting to flood the market, one would think they would be less likely to do that. Entertainment companies generally attempt to avoid releasing major titles at the same time as each other. Sure you may steal some sales, but you will also likely lose some, especially in a niche market like anime. Fans only have so much money, which they seem less and less willing to part with these days. Loading up certain weeks with multiple large titles isn't a good business practice for anyone.
Usually, it seems that Sentai and Funimation attempt to avoid scheduling major release during the same weeks, whether that is coincidence or not is hard to tell. I have a feeling the delays have more to do with the fact that several major release from the large Hollywood studios are being replicated at this time, and smaller companies like Funi are being forced to wait to have their discs produced. A lot of smaller home video companies delay releases during the late fall and early winter.

Most of the stuff I wanted or ordered didn't get pushed back that far so whatever, Im cool |
Well shit, sorry you guys don't have friends that you were buying these things for. I mean it's not like a december 4th release date being switched to January 15th is a big difference or anything.
Even ignoring the massive inconvenience of this, funimation is just having a bad track record of screwing over their customers all around this year. Hopefully 2013 will be different.

As sad as delays are, it is not like Funimation is not releasing anything at all this month.
Index and Steins;Gate are both coming out this month. Probably other stuff too.
