Well, it's Kaze. Disappointment is their specialty.

The first date I have is October, which was announced back in the Summer (as "Q4" initially). It was originally supposed to be released in 2013...IncendiaryLemon said:

Is there any method to the madness re:slipboxes when it comes to Animatsu releases? Nadia, Sidonia and Love.....all have one, but then something like Samurai Jam, priced in line with Sidonia and Love doesn't have one.
The artwork for Beyond The boundary seems to suggest it will have one, but don't like the inconsistency.

But the MVM version has the aniplex discs! The only thing that can go wrong is logos on the spine...thedoctor2016 said:

That's sad to hear. Haven't bought it myself yet but I plan on in the future. Has he said anything on how Chunibyo did?

Hope that doesn't mean they're not planning on licensing the rest of the Raildex series.

I think the whole Raildex thing was an issue from the get-go.
USA got DVD only, then complete (super cheap) Blu-Rays. So when people finally had a chance to get a UK version, I think the US prices / release might of made a big dent.
Shame, as it was much appreciated of Manga/Animatsu to take a chance on it.

Don't forget the front
I don't think that may be an issue with UBW. The Hanabee release has a slip to put all of the logos etc on there.
Then again MVM didn't use it to its advantage with Garden of Sinners: They had the logos on the slip!
..only to print the box with the logos on there.

That was so ridiculous it wasn't even funny...

That's a shame, I would have looked at getting it at some point, then I watched Heavy Object and I don't think Kazuma Kamachi's works are for me. I suppose we have to ask if people were clamouring for a release they had no intention of buying or if Animatsu simply didn't deliver what people wanted. I haven't read any complaints about the release, so I'd assume it was the former, in which case why would people clamour for a release they have no intention of buying?
Perhaps what we should be taking from this is that now things have settled format-wise, maybe there's a cut-off point at which a series is too old for people to buy as a recent title, but not old enough for people to (re)buy as a "classic", meaning some shows get left in a kind of wasteland and whether that might impact what get picked up from now on.
Then again "disappointing" doesn't say much, perhaps Animatsu had unrealistic expectations and we're reading far too much into this.

Actually pretty surprised to hear that. Would have thought the show a bit too fan servicey for you. Haven't seen the show myself but If the multitude of gifs are anything to go by, the shows can leans pretty heavy on that stuff.
