Btw, can't help but wonder why MVM licensed all the seasons of GochiUsa at once but didn't do the same with Aria.
Aria is an older series, the first 2 seasons are in 4:3 rather than widescreen, and the 2nd season in particular is 26 rather than 13 episodes long, unlike the 1st and 3rd seasons, so the US has that split over 2 releases, which is something MVM (to their credit IMO) don't seem fond of doing, but might not have a choice.
If season 2 is more expensive to license on account of the episode count, which seems likely, they would either have to have a single release at a higher price than the first season, or do the same as the US and spread it over 2 releases, both of which could put people off picking it up, so I really can't blame MVM for being a little more cautious with this title than they were with Is the Order a Rabbit?.
A part of me
was kind of hoping that AL would bring the series over, partly because the released Amanchu (still holding out hope for a season 2 release of that too, dag namit!), not so much because I'd want a CE for each release, but I would've loved just an outer box to hold the ama-rays.
