@Hanners @teetoni are project A-ko and the card captor sakura movie's going to be released soon?

After a daring, Mission Impossible-style high-wire raid into our production department, I managed to sneak in and assign myself as the product manager for Project A-KO (I'm only half-joking; I am handling this one but it didn't require any high-wire antics). So that's currently in progress and we'll hopefully have more to share over the next few months.

Card Captor Sakura movies are, as I understand it, more complex at this juncture - we'd still love to release them, but no news currently.

If we talk about wanted home video releases:

Is there any chance that March Comes in Like a Lion part 3 and 4 will ever get released? The Aniplex of America version is out of print, which means that nowadays you have to pay £1500 just for part 4... In the past (when the first 2 parts were released) the other parts were teased to be released 'in the future', but nothing has happened so far.

@Hanners , what about this one? Any news regarding the rest of March Comes in Like a Lion?

Unfortunately this one is no longer on our slate, as it wasn't something we were ultimately able to bring to fruition on home video - a real shame we know, and an unusual case, but these things happen from time to time.

Whilst you're here, there's a few older titles on my notes that I suspect are also 'no longer on the slate'?
  • Comet Lucifer
  • High School Fleet
  • Gakuen Basara: Samurai High School!

😭😭😭 Sigh. that's a huge letdown for me, after all this time waiting and waiting. I was so excited for the Blu-ray when you announced that license, but I guess it just rotted away... Alright, welp, guess I'll have to leave the forum now. No need for me to hang around here anymore, then. 🥺

Nah, I'm not really going to do that. I'm going to stick around and just start complaining big-time about everything, like everyone else on here, lol.... 😝

Well, at least I saved some fansubs for the series, since this was the only chance for it to ever be released physically.

Wasnt this on the "no longer on the slate" 1 or 2 years ago during the Q&A

Think it was something like - Andrews seen the same few people asking about it and doesnt want to disappoint but its been so long since it aired he doesnt think there is enough demand to justify the release so its very unlikely going to get a release

I imagine at the time they licensed it, they were still working with Aniplex so hoped to clone their disks. But Aniplex never released the set so would have to be a whole new disk author

Not enough demand added on to made it not worth it

Recall this being announced at the height of KanColle popularity.
 
So no news on when the Project A-KO moives get a release date and if it takes to long for them to get a release then I'm importing them from the US and anime limited will lose out on getting my money.

Apparently nowhere in Europe has news of GQuuuuuuX screenings. I'm likely off the mark (hope I am anyway) but given how disastrous the European release of SEED Freedom were I'm wondering if European chains just aren't interested. The UK release sounds to have gone fine but from what I heard from fans in places like France and Germany cinemas were selling tickets only to find they hadn't been sent the movie come screening time.
