Hmmm... more people need to buy the first season of Kaleido Star (regular DVDs or the possible thinpak) so that ADV can release the second season of it.
Also, Yugo the Negotiator should be pretty easy to buy since they are releasing it at a cheap price (license must have been really cheap) Also, they said the DVD release of season 1 for Gantz actually cost them more money to produce than a normal release for the same size series, so they won't be doing this anymore.

The second link does not lead to the Funimation report. It leads to a page of past con reports by Funimation, but the Anime Next one isn't listed.

That's very disappointing. I expected to buy each DVD of New Wings as it came out. Now I get the indication that they won't bother unless selling it in thinpak does well? I really dislike ADV's take on this. It's almost enough for me to find fansubs of the 2nd season so I can at least enjoy it. While I dislike the idea of obtaining fansubs of licensed series, ADV has raised a big question mark as to whether it will be released or not. If they do so, I will buy it... I just don't like the feeling of being in limbo. |

I'm very pleased that Abenobashi is getting a thin-pack though I am still gonna be patient just awhile longer for the angelic layer think-pack. There is one series in particular that I'm wondering about, Sakura Wars TV. I bought dvd 1 a long time ago and I barely had the money to finish it. With all the thin-packs coming out, I wonder if ADV will ever give this series the same treatment.

I almost got lost there, because some people refer to Dragonball Z as Dragonball. |

Could it be that Kaleido Star isn't doing that well in sales, and thats why they are doing that? |

MOST INTERESTING INDEED! I'm now actually interested in Yugo the Negotiator. With a sweet price like that and all this apparent pride they have in the effort that went into it, it looks to be worth checking out. Also, very happy to see Speed Grapher licensed. The sooner the better, afterall. I'd like to see this dubbed. And I love them for never giving up on Lupin. :') |

GANTZ's release patern was an experiement. But it backfire on them because production cost was more than they could handle. Now they're releasing the last 13 episode on 4 dvd which would cost more than the first 6 dvd.
So college and high school studen feel that 30 dollar is too much for an anime dvd? Why not lower the price in the first place (to maybe 20-25) and get more volumes sold which would offset the cost. I get all my dvd online or at bestbuy so I never paid full price. |

They already stated that it didn't do as well as expected. It's a shame for such a good series. It was also shown on The Anime Network... then again, I know a few dub lovers out there who were turned off by the series because of how the dub was handled. Can't say I blame them. Whether or not that affected sales though is another matter altogether. |

Wow...Funi is certaintly stepping it up a notice. I don't recall any other company doing something like this. (If someone else has had these kinds of contests I would like to know what to compare and contrast) ANN had already reported about the Noir boxset (which is now apparently a "thinpack"). I'm not surpirsed by these releases. ADV is going down the drain and thier trying to make up for recent anime market satuartion. I'm not bashing ADV I'm being more sypithetic than anything else, but it IS time that another dub company reigh supreme in the anime world and Funi is looking like a pretty good candidate right now.... Just as a thought, has anyone wondered if since the anime market is so saturated, why does the general public still associate anime with Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh, and other animes like that when it's much more diverse now? |

What about the news that ADV has passed on the Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pich license ?
Does this mean they don't have the licence anymore or that it was successfully licenced to one of the networks ? (english isn't my mother language..) |
