Nice to see MVM moving ahead with several new series. The only one on this list I'll be actively following is "Noein - To your other self".
 
I wonder how MVM are going to do with a long series like Ah! My Goddess. FMA didn't turn out too well even before Funi decided to pull out.


I'm not personally interested in anything on the list though except maybe Noein.

AMG is only 26 episodes long. The second series has not been licenced since Media Blasters passed up on their option on it due to poor sales of the first series.

Despite what you say about MVM and FMA, they did a good job releasing that right up until the point where their distribution agency was cut a couple of months (or more) back. The releases by Revelation Films will, by all accounts, be identical since both MVM and themselves simply use what is supplied by FUNimation.

Didn't know that. I thought it just counted as 52 episodes as a single series. Seems kinda weird that they would licence a series that did so bad in the US that they didn't bother to licence the second though. Doesn't give it much hope for a release over here.

Also the LONG delays between volumes were very poor no matter how you look at it.

It wasn't so much that AMG did badly, but rather that it didn't do as well as Media Blasters hoped. Besides, according to this post over at Anime On DVD from their rep there, Media Blasters did try to license the second series, but they weren't prepared to pay the full asking price whereas another (as yet unknown) company was.
 
Finally the second tenchi movie is coming over here, what was with them releasing movie 1 and 3 ages ago but not the second ah well we have it now,thats all that matters.

A mistake by the European licensors saw an Italian company get the rights to the Uk version of the second movie who consequently sat on the licence until it ran out recently (or let it go of their own accord).
 
I'm quite interested in Noein. It's nice to have Fruits Basket all in one box too - hats off to Revelation for sorting that out so quickly.
