Isn't the Trailblazer movie just a compilation of the OAVs?
I wish they'd take the money when they ship - I understand why - but still...

Yes there are 4 movies but the 3 OVAs are the entire show with new scenes and on top of that, they are only in Japanese with English subs. Only Trailblazer movie has English dub.

Trailblazers is also very divisive.
I was tempted to import from Madman but in the end I have a hard time to justify buying what is essentially only the first six episodes of a fifty episodes long series. Which is counter intuitive, I know, since if this isn't a big sell there is zero chance for Madman bringing the rest of the series over. The bottom line I try to convey is that if - and this is a far off possibility - AL or any other British company would bring it over then please bring the whole series over, don't just limit the release to what would be an incomplete version.

I agree with this, if Madman were releasing the series then I would have pre-ordered as soon as it was possible - no question. A movie edit (a glorified extra really) has decidedly less appeal, but it's a rock/hard place situation as if it doesn't sell well then it's just going to perpetuate the idea that there isn't a market for this kind of content. Hopefully the buzz around Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! will lead to someone licensing Future Boy Conan...

I've never heard so from any authoritative source, just things along the lines of 'it hasn't been released, so there must be rights issues' but that hasn't prevented a release in France, Italy and Spain. I wouldn't be surprised if it came down to NHK / Nippon putting a high price tag on it.

Trailblazer is an original movie. The breakdown is thus:
Season one- 25 episodes.
Season two- 25 episodes, set 4 years later.
Movie- Set 2 years later.
The 3 compilations cover the 50 episode TV show.
Aside from that, there's a range of light novels and manga that occur before, during and after the animated works. 00P for instance covers the testing of the second generation Gundams in the years before the first episode of the anime.

Andrew has said there is good chance of March S2 not so much for Sound

Ye think it was something about March season 2 mainly being about time, probably aniplex wanting a long exclusivity period. Sound season 2 I think he said it was possible, but seemed quite unlikely.

As much as I really want Sound S2, importing it (two volumes at £85 each) is not an option either
I imported those when they were on sale, £150. Too bloody expensive for what they are, but I couldn’t live without them.

We ain’t got the retellings so even with S2 the English sets are incomplete so I never bothered (and ALs S1 ain’t the best disc quality so no point having great S2 discs if S1’s aren’t)
Got both Sound and March last year when they had the "School-Starting-Thingie" sale. Sadly, unlike March (which far exceeded my already high expectations), Sound was a bit of a let down to be honest. Which is weird since I generally like Kyoani stuff. Is the S2 better then the first one?
