While this may ease some tensions, the fact that ADV is suffering some financial issues is still unsettling to me. In light of all the trouble we've been hearing, i.e. Geneon, this small, unrevealing, statement isn't making me feel any better.

The best intentions of mice and men... While it is good to hear something from them, I will be waiting for a more complete answer before I breathe a sigh of relief. Short-term challenges can lead to long-term disasters, and till they say they are in the blue, then that means they are in the clouds. |

What bellyachers we all are. Some pages disappear from ADV's website and within three hours we're all whipping eachother into a frenzy about how ADV is done for, trying to encourage eachother not to buy anime DVDs anymore. A little good news comes through, with ADV pledging that they are not in-fact done for, and that they pledge themselves to continue delivering the things we want to us, and it's of no persuasive value to us. We'll take the gloom and despair to wallow in instead, please. For shame, you nervous nellies. |

On a brighter note, some of us in Houston were sad when ADV had canceled the last two Tuesday nite anime showings at Alamo Drafthouse with no explanation (although those two titles they were showing are on the list of currently removed titles), but its back to normal next week

Whew - thats a relief... I hope it also means that past discs will still be produced too - I had 20 titles from ADV to get - and about 4 on that list that I had recently gotten either most or all of...
At least I am down to only 3 series left to get from Geneon before all the discs dissapear from store shelves... |

Lol someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. I really don't think there are many that think that way. If they really thought anything like that they probably would just get the fansubs regardless. As for me this is really good news, because I just got my volume 2 + box for Kanon and it would be pretty lonely looking with just the first 2 volumes in it. And the spine of the box is just amazing looking. |

Please don't read things out of context in the future. Or at the very least when you quote a sentence try reading the one right after it to gain context. And I haven't critized you for looking through your rose tinted glasses and saying everything is honky dory. In fact I think it's great, I'm happy for you.

Thank god! Man, that was a scary episode right there. I'm so glad that they aren't pulling a Geneon on us. Granted, most anime I buy is ADV.

if you all want another view on what is being said take a look here...
http://animecornerstore.blogspot.com/ pretty much the same as ANN was told just different source (i assume) though it does reference the possiblity of a few late street dates... personal opinion sounds like ADV's partnership fell apart with Sojitz's "ARM" corporationg, and perhaps ADV has seen this coming for awhile, that might expalin why there have been so many cuts recently at ADV... they were working towards the possiblity of having to fund a lot of those licenses themselves, or perhaps with another 3rd party that wasn't able to put up as much funding... ^^^ just a guess/personal opinion... |

Here's hoping that ADV's issues are successfully resolved and I'm able to complete Pumpkin Scissors, Welcome to the NHK, and Kanon, as well as add Gurren Lagann to my collection.

Am I the only person who realizes that statement said absolutely nothing?
Short term difficulties? Okay, like what? Their version of 'short term difficulties' could be exactly what that screencapped (although now supposedly untrue) article said--licensing issues. Their version of 'short term' could be my version of long term--months or years. Yes, it's nice that words came out of ADV, but it would be even nicer if they had some substance to them other than "Uh, wait, we're working on it and we'll get back to you once we kind of figure this thing out..." Believe me, it is not my intention to whip up that panic again, but be a little more discerning. Don't just 'relax' and assume everything's just peachy until we get those promised details. We still don't know what's going on. It isn't panic time, but it's not relax on the beach time, either. ... and for heaven's sakes please don't turn this into another piracy thread while we wait. |

Yes you would be the only one... because that just isn't true now is it. |
