 |
|
Including back titles they said they would.
I recently sent them an e-mail about Beck, and this is the reply I got
| Quote: | Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately we will no longer be releasing the remaining volumes of Beck as previously scheduled and currently do not have plans to release other FUNimation titles this year.
I would advise that you contact FUNimation directly if you need any more information about their plans with the UK releases.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with.
Regards,
Pria

I sent Manga UK an e-mail asking about their FUNimation releases, but have had no reply as yet. |

| Well someone is telling porkys then. I've emailed FUNi direct for clarification, as their furum is proving to be totally useless about this. No reply as yet. |

Phew! At least they finished off Mushishi. I feel sorry for those who bought series from Rev films out of loyalty to the UK market. This is why now I won't ever buy single volumes again.

I'm really disappointed if this is true. Despite the erratic schedule, the quality of releases (the box sets are quite nice, and bringing over Art boxes was cool of them), the faithfulness of their releases to the US counterpart (The one thing that annoys me about Manga's Funi releases) and the price point (which I honestly believe was part of the reason MVM lowered their RRPs).
Certainly predictable, but a little disappointing all the same. Revelation could have been a force in the UK anime scene had they continued with the force they entered it with. |

They could have just been giving a standard response that hasn't been updated recently. |

| I fathom this'll result in more people importing. Good news for Customs, bad for Revelation. |

Well you say that, but Manga have more than taken up the slack of Funimation releases, and more to the point, Manga are releasing series at a competitive price compared to the US releases. (in most cases, the Manga price is pretty much the same as the Funi US price, for the same number of episodes) |

I doubt it. It was sent last Tuesday. As for Manga releasing Funi titles, when and what was the last?  |

Since last Autumn
they started with xxxHolic, then Baldr Force EXE, Claymore, Ouran High School Host Club, Negima OVAs, Negima S2, Origin Spirits of the Past, Shigurui Death Frenzy, Darker Than Black, Ghost Hunt...
The last one would be Negima S2 Part 1. No that's delayed til 17th August. Then the last one would be Ghost Hunt S1 Part 2. There you go.
They've also got something called Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood coming up next year. Dunno what that's about. |

Manga also released Black Blood Brothers, and I thought Origin was a title they got from Gonzo. |

| So if Manga are now the UK distributor, why haven't they picked up the titles that haven't been finished by Revelation then? Seems a bit silly not doing that IMO. |
