Re: MangaUK Going Blu-Ray Only With Ben-To And Good Luck Gir

Why miss out on DvD sales if DvD sales are viable? AoT is most certainly big enough to support both a BD and DvD release, why should they go BD only when they can make a profit on doing DvD aswell despite having to author twice?

On the flip side as you've said, these are B-list titles that are going BD only, would they sell enough to justify a double author? Sure they could be boring and go the DvD only route, but they feel the numbers back up that if they are going single format BD is the choice. Kinda hard to criticise a company for picking a superior format that costs less for them to make that their data shows has profitable margins.

If it doesn't pan out we'll just see more DvD only stuff, that's not really them being conservative, that's market data showing that the BD wasn't as big as they thought and they need to wait a while.
