Love Hina Again is already out in the UK... I wouldn't imagine, based upon your oft-aired views, that any version of Love Hina would suit you. Still, as it goes, Love Hina Again is a continuation and conclusion to the TV series. Not ground-breaking but if you liked the TV series this is...

That leads to a vicious circle that will speed up their death rather than encourage them to release series. Not enough sales of the singles will mean that they will not do a boxed set which will ultimately mean a lot of people will never buy a title. Boxed sets, especially in ADV's case are...

There have been adverts for them in the likes of Neo (certainly in MVM's case) with many of their boxed-sets but there really is no big deal with them; they are released just as any other release. I have never noticed any US companies sending out press-releases for boxed sets in particular or...

The Viridian collections are the cut-price boxed sets released by FUNimation.

I am sure they said something akin to "they will try to wait at least a year" before a series was released to box and the more popular ones will be released in boxes first.

Well, MVM got into anime publishing after the English company for Bubblegum Crisis went under. Tony Allen was (and still is) running a shop and asked the US licensor (AnimEigo) what would happen to the title to which they replied, "why don't you pick up the licence?" At least that was the way...

Most Japanese releases do not have English subs; less have English dubs. A fairly large proportion of Ghibli releases include English subtitles with one or two special editions containing English dubs as well (Howl's Moving Castle was one such). I do not think any TV series has ever included...

Not particularly. In the case of Geneon they originally had a deal with ADV, which ultimately fell through at the last moment (and had nothing to do with the UK market). ADV have already signed a deal with another (as yet undisclosed) distributor and are in the process of transferring the...

And there we go again with another of Conan's irrational rants. The only anime distributed by Revelation that has been on TV has been Fullmetal Alchemist, which was on TV before they got the distribution rights to it and had absolutely nothing to do with them. Anime on TV generally is not...

Also mentioned are a couple of shoujo favourites in the form of Honey and Clover and Nana.

The hiatus purely reflects ADV UK. They are simply changing their (UK) distributors, much like FUNimation did at the top of last year moving from MVM to Revelation. This is not the same as going belly up but is a restructuring of the UK distribution.

The jumping is probably a slight misalignment of your satellite receiver rather than the box.

Regardless of where the authoring for the subtitles was done and the nationality of the translator, they would have used a native speaker to at least spell and quality check for them. Of course if the guy doing the checking happened to be British rather than American then that could account for...

Andrew has posted somewhere (Anime-on-DVD if I remember correctly) that an announcement about Gunbuster 2 is due in the near future. Pinnacle Vision (the DVD distributors for BEEZ) got a little ahead of themselves when they listed the release in the upcoming schedules and threw things out...

He actually said words to the effect that they would show shorter series if it became economically viable if memory serves correctly. Paying the same amount for 13 episodes as you would for 26 episodes is a hard sell for any executives of a TV channel. If ADV's anime comes in at a more...

The simple answer of why they are there is to ensure the box maintains its shape. On top of that cardboard is cheaper to manufacture, easier to dispose of (collapsible) and (although this is probably not a consideration to the manufacturers) is biodegradable.

Manga released that under the moniker, Legend of the Four Kings, although in the US (if I rememeber correctly) it was released as Legend of the Dragon Kings. It was a 12 part series

Probably not more than a month or two. The DVDs tend to get mastered several months (probably between 2 and 4 depending upon how quickly the publisher wants it/can manage it) ahead of their release. Once it has been mastered it becomes expensive and time consuming to remaster it, which could...

Despite what people say about how they feel of Jetix's handling of the Naruto TV series it has been on TV. The internet is okay for getting to know about stuff you already know about but the beauty of TV is that it introduces people to random stuff they would otherwise not seek out. I would not...

But Transformers started out as an American thing, including culture and style, so isn't really comparable. What they did with Transformers was to bring it up to modern technological (graphically speaking) standards.
