Outlaw Star news:

Manly tears today, we signed off on the DDP for Outlaw Star. Meaning when uploaded at start of next week - it's off to replication! (AP)
I take it this is DDP as in Disc Decryption Protocol, which means I can only say one thing: FIN_AL_LEE!
(Bad pun intended)
This doesn't mean I'm not disappointed by the lack of news we've had this week (so far), where are all the promised pieces of news/updates?!

@Agent347 If Siren haven't done it on BD yet, chances are we won't either. BUT...the collection isn't due yet so #NeverSayNever
This is about Needless, this is at
the top of
my list of titles I want to see upgraded by MVM Entertainment to BD.
Their reply was in regards to a title that does have an US Blu-Ray release, but region A only, and no BD of it has been released in Australia as of yet.
So I think MVM's reply extends to ANY title not given the Blu-Ray treatment in Australia (or even in the US).
I REALLY hope they can arrange something for both Needless and Heaven's Memo Pad though. I'm really upset with my status of "not owning" those two, next to Clannad.
I have in the past been really unlucky by the choices of which titles get the BD treatment by MVM, still hope for some luck.
Another was supposed to be the first MVM BD I really wanted to get, that has shuffled to Fate/Zero now, which reminds me I still need to confirm my pre-order. xD Oops. xD

@Agent347 Thanks to our new deal, we have plans for lots of our older and newer titles to upgrade to BD. More news at MCM in May.
I think they'll announce upgrades for about 5 titles at MCM for August to December.
(Inevitably incl. Samurai Champloo & Mayo Chiki)

MVM to release Another on BD on June 23rd:
tweet.
Imported the US release when they announced they had cancelled the BD initially last summer.
Nobody makes me a
personal promise and simply gets away with it unpunished when not fulfilling it over something I was looking forward to get a lot. Sorry.
I'm glad to hear it's now going to happen anyway, kudos to you guys at MVM! ^_^ Cannot afford double dipping on this one for the time being. Maybe in a few years I can!
To comment on Sentai Filmworks August 2014 Solicitations:
- [DUB+SUB] 05 August 2014 — DVD & BLU-RAY — Short Peace: Complete Collection
- [DUB+SUB] 12 August 2014 — DVD & BLU-RAY — From the New World: Collection 2
- [DUB+SUB] 19 August 2014 — DVD & BLU-RAY — Mayo Chiki: Complete Collection
- [DUB+SUB] 26 August 2014 — DVD & BLU-RAY — Watamote: Complete Collection
All titles that received a dub this month seem somewhat interesting.
I'll be awaiting the complete UK collection for From the New World, I will await news on MVM's upgrade for Mayo Chiki which must be inevitable and I hope MVM will release Watamote on BD.
Also, releasing Watamote on 26 august is a splendid choice by Sentai. :3 I hope the series fits me as much as I anticipate it will, like Chu2Koi.
- [SUB-only] 05 August 2014 — DVD & BLU-RAY — Love Lab: Complete Collection
- [SUB-only] 05 August 2014 — BLU-RAY ONLY — Yuyushiki: Complete Collection
- [SUB-only] 12 August 2014 — DVD & BLU-RAY — Fantasista Doll: Complete Collection
- [SUB-only] 26 August 2014 — DVD & BLU-RAY — Kinmoza!: Complete Collection
- [SUB-only] 26 August 2014 — DVD & BLU-RAY — Uta no Prince Sama 2000%: Complete Collection
I'm a bit surprised by the sub-only for Love Lab, and think I previously stated it for Yuyushiki as well.. Ahh well, it's not as big of a deal to me like Pet Girl of Sakurasou and Henneko.
At the moment of speaking I have zero plans to watch Fantasista Doll or Uta no Prince Sama, even if they had gotten dubbed. Love Lab is a plausible watch-through and Yuyushiki as well.
As for Kiniro Mosaic, I watched it subbed last year and kind of thought it would be hard to dub appropiately given the British-Japanese bond which would evaporate when dubbed to British English-American English...
Kiniro Mosaic BD is being released on my birthday, YAY. Sad it's going to be authored on one disc though. I can't recall there being a lot of dark scenes, so I expect softness.
One part of me hopes this show gets an UK Blu-Ray release, but I'm afraid chances are slim. Andrew? Tony? Jerome? #KinMoza
To make a few small comments on other pieces of news from the past week:
-
Sankarea: I am already really annoyed by the lack of updates, I expect the UK release to get bumped back another 4 to 6 months as well.
-
Railgun S dub cast: I'll judge for myself somewhere in the next 16 years.
-
Evangelion 3.33: -_-"
-
Heaven's Lost Property packaging: >_< Are you /*salsa/* kidding me?!
-
Fr4me case: I don't dislike it, but finding a property enough people would want to show off would prove difficult. So I'd play it safe and not use it.
-
Giovanni No Shima: Not sure it's something for me. I might give it a chance in the long term, but it's not a title I anticipate being great.
