Very pleased that Maiden Japan have all of Votoms. I just hope these shows along with Xabungle and Ideon eventually find their way out on home video also.

I'd be so sad and frustrated if they fell into streaming only like Urashiman has. I still find that painful as I would love to watch that series in good quality.
 
I hear that it’s been confirmed that they have physical media rights to Ideon, Xabungle and Votoms though no format has been confirmed. I’m only really dying to get my hands on a Blu-Ray release of Ideon; I’d love to see Anime Limited put it out over here. There might be more chance of it happening if there was multi-territory cooperation

Whoop.
If they reeeeeally loved Anime they could try a bit harder to follow either the Devilman Crybaby model (all episodes in a worldwide realease at the same time - they've actually done this a few times already) or the Violet Evergarden model (simulcast, they could let the Yanks in next time 😉) instead of keeping them captive.
 
If Netflix would rather put them all out at once, surely they could just release them all when the final episode airs? Why wait 3 months after it's already finished? Ridiculous.

I've already watched most of HisoMaso and it's great. Don't feel guilty either.
