MVM have a new anime licence and it's...

I'm going to make a guess it most likely won't be, just for the sake of it...Lupin III. C'mon, Diskotek now have season 1 in the US!

It's really unlikely. But so was it getting licensed in the US in the first place.

If they do, I hope they pick up S2 aswell.
 
Lupin TV? Now that IS optimistic :p

There are so many reason that won't happen, the most obvious being that Diskotek almost certainly won't be producing a dub. Monster's too long. Utena has no Australian release, so no PAL masters, and MVM aren't known for producing their own. Sorry to brutally murder everyone's hopes ^_^;

Ping Pong Club would be awesome though. Oh man. More people need to be exposed to such wonder as the protruding pecker serve.

You know, the X: TV Series discs are coauthored with Madman, but I have never been able to find a Madman release of X on their website.
 
I had never considered it before, and it falls over somewhat because most fall firmly in the "too long to be practical" category, but the Monster idea is genius as there are a whole bunch of marooned shows Viz has in the US which it steadfastly refuses to put out on DVD, even though they have dubs and a ton of production work all done. That would be a fantastic coup in my dream universe where longer series have a chance. Full Moon, Monster, PoT...

It's a shame we have to rely on hand me downs from R1/R4 due to the fixation on dubs and the daft PAL nonsense. I'd be much more excited if it wasn't something I was guaranteed already to have already (or at least have preordered) but these always end up with me feeling depressed I can't support the release as I don't want to rebuy it.

Maybe MVM have gone nuts and they're going to start doing sub-only stuff in partnership with Siren. I could get into that as I haven't got around to placing a R4 order recently. Or sub-only stuff of their own aimed at the non-NTSC phobic majority of fans. I love the idea of MVM. I want to be buying their stuff more. It sucks that so many decks are stacked against them.

MVM’s Moribito discs were also authored by Madman, even though Moribito hasn't been released/licensed in oz yet.

I thought of an older title, which could be a possibility, Karin.

X released in Oz by Siren visual, not Madman.

But the MVM discs have different episode counts and specs compared to the Siren release, and Madman and MVM logos prominent in the disc credit screen.

okay that's just bonkers, why do that. Or are Madman cheaper than outsourceing to a normal authoring house.

I don't know what the original R4 release was like, but I guess it would have followed the first US release on 8 discs.

Siren re-released (remastered) it in 2007. 24 episodes on 3 discs. Yes, 3 discs. Obviously there were no extras, and sound was limited to DD 2.0 English and Japanese.

The MVM release, and the Madman masters are based on the US Remix release, although they ditch the 5.1 Japanese audio. They still have 5.1 English and 2.0 Japanese, and they spread all the episodes across a reasonable 6 discs. They also include the Episode 0 prequel OVA, and a handful of extras, including an interview with Yoshiaki Kawajiri.

I guess that Madman got the licence for the Remix series, they just haven't got round to releasing it.
