Media Blasters news
Yamibo will be coming to blu-ray. They will make sure it is not the blurry TV version and will provide an option to upgrade from DVD. No M&E track so it won't be dubbed.

That's good news.
I should honestly pickup their Blu-rays, I actually quite liked what I heard of the dub for LvB.

MPEG2 can be just fine on Blu-Ray since the data flow output limit is fairly high, the downsides are the larger filesize (so it ends up on 2 BD50 instead of one BD50 + BD25 for a one cour show)Mangaranga said:

RUN! IT'S GOJIRA!
Funimation announced two new things over at San Diego Comic Con panel.
Ergo Proxy will be released on Blu-ray in 2016 to celebrate the show's 10th anniversary. All 23 episodes in one set. The regions will be A only as MVM acquired the UK rights during the initial DVD release.
Hideaki Anno's Shin Gojira (Godzilla Resurgence) has also been picked up. More news is expected shortly. The live-action Japanese film will be in Japanese theaters on July 29th.

I will definitely buy Knights of Sidonia: Battle for Planet Nine , hopefully Animatsu will release it here but I doubt they will , I don't think season 1 sold very well .

Re: RUN! IT'S GOJIRA!
Do we know for sure whether MVM have Bluray rights though? This could be a similar case to Baccano as the Blu-ray box wasn't released in Japan until July 2012. MVM started releasing the show in August of 2007.NormanicGrav said:

Nah, it's an NBC Universal Ent. Japan title. Usually they end up being A only (though recent titles like Rage of Bahamut, Seraph & Arslan say otherwise). Unless of course Funimation decides to make their sets B compatible for MVM.

Ergo Proxy BD? GEEZ IT! I don't really care who releases it, if no one over here does then Funi it is, I just want it.

I've already been putting off watching my MVM DVDs, maybe I should put it off a little longer to get the BDs...

Re: [Overseas] US/Foreign Anime News & Announcements
I would argue MVM will be the one handling the license, given they have the DVD rights. Heck they went back and got Serial Experiments Lain, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki 1 & 2 and Haibane Renmei, both of which are Universal shows.
With Universal UK I see them going after the newer titles (like they did with Berserk and Drifters) while also notable shows not yet acquired over here (for instance Higurashi is a potential license).
