Why bother?, I mean Manga UK tried blu ray releases and they all flopped. MVM is better off just doing DVD releases anyway (Blu Ray releases would put them out of business)

Doing DVD only releases when there are BDs available to import might be equally likely to put them out of business.

I don't think the Bubblegum Crisis series will come out as that belongs to Manga. I had to import it. :(

But I would like to see more stuff in Blu-Ray... and out in boxsets no volumes. I say this because I got given 2 volumes of FMAB for my birthday on Blu-ray, only for Manga to bring out full boxset (on dvd) and say they won't bring out the third Blu-Ray volume for it. This now means I would have to import not knowing if the Blu-Ray was region free or not.

It would make me happy if they bough out Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni series as well as Umineko No Naku Koro Ni. Also would be awesome if they could release the following on Blu-Ray:

Martian Successor Nadesico series and movie
Tenchi Muyo series and movies
Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero
Mirai Nikki
Magic Knights Rayearth series (Manga used to hold the licence to just the OVA, but they no longer do.)
Shadow Skill series(Same here.)
D.N Angel (Licence is in limbo after ADV went under)
Vampire Princess Miyu (I know they lost the licence when Tokyo Pop died but it would be great to own this on Blu-Ray!)
InuYasha series and movies

I will stop for now!

I'd like to see some of those titles come out, but with regards to Mirai Nikki I'm pretty sure that it is a Kaze title, as it was streamed on Anime On Demand, so it will no doubt come out on Manga Entertainment.
 
Lain would be the main one. It has expired but they are considering getting it back, although they've already said BD is unlikely. i'm strongly considering importing FUNi's, especially what with the booklet.

Haibane Renmei would be another one, although to a lesser degree since I don't believe it benefits as much from the upgrade as Lain (due to Lain getting a lot of care and attention poured on the remaster, including re-animating digital elements).

Other than that...
Kiddy Grade - since I don't have enough copies already and the Japanese BDs have English dub but no subtitles (the movies have subtitles and no dub, but are cut down a lot). It's an upscale though, and I wouldn't say a particularly well done one either.
Ergo Proxy would be nice to see in HD, but it took me years to finally finish the series on DVD... I'd probably be happy with just the first episode ^^;

Someone mentioned Nadesico - it's not in MVM's back catalogue so doesn't really count, but I have always wanted a remastered copy without ADVs original overlays and BD would be icing on the cake.

A quick check on Wikipedia does indeed list Mirai Nikki as a Kaze title.
