Considering its a Crunchyroll Original, it's probably going to happen at any moment.

At least Ex-Arm has enough name recognition that some people will buy it because it's terrible. Gibiate, on the other hand, will probably sell so badly that it'll be less than half of its EB price in every sale from next year until the license expires.

They're still trying to get rid of copies of the 009 Re: Cyborg 9 LE 9 years after release.

Despite the lovely art work, that can't even save me from wanting to get it, I remember hearing a lot of negativity about it when it originally aired... though I haven't seen it myself so I shouldn't fully judge but regardless, there's been enough that it's probably warranted.

Hey now, I actually liked 009, lol - I even own a copy of the JP 3D release I can watch in my 3D-capable projection theater at home.

A bit of a hard sell in the UK though being a movie based on a franchise that has never seen a prior UK release. Surprisingly the mid 2000s version was broadcast on Irish childrens tv.

Didn't mind the movie myself either, nothing crazy but an alright time.
Was my first exposure to the series, since then I've only watched the Devilman crossover which was fun though I've wanted to pick up Discotek's release of one of the series.
Pretty sure Netflix had another entry in the series which was a sequel or prequel to Re:Cyborg? not sure if it's still on there though as I'm pretty sure the Devilman crossover isn't on there anymore.
I don't have Netflix currently so can't check.

It's probably part of a package that a licensor forced on them when they bidded for a more popular show, and now they're stuck trying to recoup their losses. It's hardly a good look for their image as a boutique label though.
Meanwhile Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu and Dance Dance Danseur remain unreleased in the west. There is no justice.

There was another Re: Cyborg movie (I don't think it was a series?) that I saw later on where the Cyborg group was hiding out on a ranch somewhere, and were being attacked by the bad guys, I remember it vaguely because it's been so long since I saw it. IIRC I think it was a better story than 009. Is that perhaps the mid 2000's version you are referring to?

Hopefully whoever they hire will start doing the monthly Newswire announcements again.

It was a series, it was broadcast in Japan in 2001 and was shown on Toonami in the US. It's one of the early 2000s series locked in Sony hell like Blood+.

A series that has been available on Blu-ray for the past several years in the UK via MVM, & they are asking £40 for a CE. No way this is going to sell well. I will wait & pick it up in a sale, once it drops below £20.

There are still copies of the MVM release floating around for about £12 too.

Now that I think about it, I'm sure it has been in MVM's Blu-ray clearance sale for £4.99 for the past year or so.

They probably had to wait for the last stock in the clearance sale to finally go.Just checked the product page & the release date is 22/7/24. Never seen a product go up for EB after the release date before.
