NEWS: Right Stuf's Nozomi Adds More Dirty Pair, Gasaraki, Nadesico

They are remastering the Nadesico discs, which means no more sucky ADV overlays that almost ruined my viewing of the original DVD release.

Yep, Because every publisher should model their business to you alone. Why don't you give Right Stuf some suggestion on what kind of expensive titles they should be picking up, that way when they don't sell it will be the end of them.

if you think money doesn't matter in the anime industry, you are a fool.
Did you not see borders go out of business?
Do you not see anime and comic shops going out of business left and right, every month?

ADV dropped these licenses for a reason.
the show did not sell well when it was re-released a few years ago.
if you think people buy old anime you are misinformed.

some old shows are worth buying, such as what funimation is doing with yu yu hakusho on bluray. But others like nadesico should be left alone or released at a super budget price in the vast sea of monthly releases.

and aniplex announced puella magica I believe, so that is at least something.

Obviously they can make money on licensing these old titles, otherwise they wouldn't. And Nozomi has the ability to see exactly how product moves because they can read their own sales numbers. I'm going to imagine they're very cheap licenses, and they have an established audience of older anime fans who want them. There likely isn't a whole lot to lose.

I don't mind if they license older shows, but I have to say that I am disappointed at all the re-releases. There is nothing here that I will buy this time around, and that is kind of unusual for me with Nozomi.

Well if you are a dub fan, re-mastered stuff is all you can hope for from RS/Nozomi. Anything new will most likely be released as a glorified fansub (i.e., sub-only release). That's why I usually cringe when I see one of these "Coming Soon" announcements. It normally means it's one less anime that's going to be getting a dub. But I always hope against hope they'll do a dub.

Nope. not a dub/sub debate. I buy either if I like the show. That wasn't my issue here at all.

Well, then your only problem would be if they came out with new stuff or not.
