Blessing of the Campanella is not part of the survey, make sure you ask for it in question 21.

Maybe they already have dvd options on it? I had missed that while filling out the survey. Hoping we'll definitely see Princess Jellyfish considering that this whole thing was kicked off by Funi asking fans on Facebook if they wanted dvd's/blurays of Princess J

The way the poll was worded, I'm guessing they're also investigating which series to release simultaneously on dvd/bluray, and whcih ones to just kick off with dvd first

Just Freezing and Fractale for me. Freezing I think especially merits a home video release, because the broadcast version is so censored.

So I'm guessing Strike Witches and Blessing might already have dvd releases scheduled/planned, or the plans for those might come for after the time frame Funi did this poll for. Anyhoo, looks like they do have dvd rights to those series.

Also, wasn't Baka and Test's dub cast already announced? Surprised to see it on the poll, though maybe it's to check into interest for BluRay versions.

I'm thinking that's exactly what it is. I mean, Sekirei sold out at retailers the week it was released, there's no way they're not releasing Pure Engagement on DVD.

I believe another reason for having shows they're already releasing is to benchmark things. Like, if they know 20% of respondents said they'd buy a show, that doesn't tell them much about actual sale numbers. But if they know 20% of respondents said they'd buy a show, vs 10% of respondents who said they buy a show they already released and sold [X] units...that's better for estimating potential actual sale numbers.

I would think Blessing of the Campanella would be on the survey since Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, & One Piece are on it.
