Especially Gunslinger Girls since both seasons and the OVA are already out on BD.
Now that's a question that needs answering.

Alright. I'm pissed off that everything I was really interested in got pushed back, but at least it wasn't too far. February seems to chilled out, but March is still huge, so I expect a lot of those to go May, since April is now pretty filled out too.

These delays are actually kind of a relief. Gives me a bit of time to save up some money for the ones I want. Anime hyper

Good news:

Most are only a couple weeks

My February and March are pretty slim with only 4 items for both months (Chrome Shelled Regios LE, Summer Wars BD, FLCL, YuYu Hakusho BD).


Bad news:

My April is now huge with 6 items (High School of the Dead volume 2 manga, EVA 2.22 BD, Rideback LE, Ga-Rei Zero BD LE, Soul Eater 1+2 BD, King of Eden BD).


*sigh* Well, at least most of my stuff is now in one month, meaning I don't have to hold money over several months.

I like the way Rob described it here:

Rob wrote:
RS grabs anything they can out of planning meetings, or things the product managers say are in the works and might be coming out at such and such a time, and posts them to the store knowing they can just change them around later if they don't actually end up on the 'official' schedule. So just because it shows up on RS's site doesn't mean they actually know when, or if, it's coming out. Last fall they posted the 3 GITS movies on BluRay for pre-order and listed them streeting in December 2010. Who ever they got that info from was totally wrong as MV, to date, has never actually done a release card for them. Being first always seems to trump being right these days.


I can believe that someone at Funimation mentioned release estimations somewhere that turned out to be off. And because they aren't "official", it's not really Funimation's fault (or anyones), if they push it back to fine tune it, or whatever they're doing. If this was Section23, Bandai or Media Blasters, companies that do official press releases to announce this stuff, it'd be much more annoying in my opinion.
