I'm interested in what Project Mirai Remix is, because Asia is getting it too. I thought that we'd just get Project Mirai 2, but I guess SEGA were waiting for the newer Japanese game to come out and release it overseas closer to the Japanese release?
EDIT: Ah, so it's a remix of Mirai 2.

21st October... the October line-up has yet to be revealed until a few weeks time. Maybe 3.33 might be out for US at that month (21st is a Tuesday, US sets are out on a Tuesday).
While I'm guessing that, I wonder what else would be on October's schedule.
- One Piece Season 6 has been rumoured for that month.
- Sankarea Uncut version would work perfectly for Halloween, though nothing has been said.
- Hellsing Ultimate 9/10 would also work for Halloween and we know it's coming before 2015.
- For new shows, Danganronpa could.
- And of course Shana Season 3 SAVE and Fairy Tail Part 12 as a possibility.
Meanwhile, in the Twitter Manga archive:

I somehow get the impression Kizumonogatari has been kicked to the end of the shows run, once they finish the rest they'll let us have the prequel that explains a bunch of the stuff that's only been hinted at through the rest of the episodes.
Quite a delay for Eva, is it out in Japan on BD? If not I'd assume they are tweaking the footage like mad (Evagelion 3.33 We must [Redo] every scene and line of dialogue), otherwise it must be some crazy reason or other for not letting the rest of the world have it.

It's been out in Japan since April 2013. The problem isn't the footage, it's the English dub (pretty much confirmed).

Heh, I heavily presumed JoJo's was the "big" title they were going to announce this month ..guess not after all. Hope maybe, just maybe we can get a UK release, fingers crossed.
Sounds like it might be the like the Pokemon situation. The massive fuss over on my FB, even from non-anime watchers once that become viewable on Netflix was crazy big ..shame no ones able to get it for physical release, there's a whole new younger generation being shown Pokemon now.. there's money in releasing the series, shame.

Though could you see parents plopping £25 a half season for that when it's mostly there on Netflix for a fiver a month?
I mean having a physical copy is fine to a certain extent but this is Pokémon, it's sort of up there with One Piece in "Series that will outspan my house before I have it all on physical media"

The Pokémon situation could basically be summed up as "The Pokémon Company International's office world map only has Japan and America on it".
Seriously, the PokémonCenter.com store that's opening in August, doesn't even ship to Canada - never mind Europe.

I know that feeling but unless it means us getting dicked out of the Game Releases I'm not that bothered, actually.

WARNING: I come in peace. I do not mean any harm to you or your families and would like to warn you for some stuff I'm too lazy to list.
I think @Anime could do the UK a good few favors if it's remotely possible to do. I'm personally all in for a Clannad BD if this needed some play-testing.
(I really want to own Clannad on Blu-ray... ^_^)
But, to the point: I think your trailer for the English dubbed Giovanni's Island shall greatly influence my decision about getting this movie, as I can't tell whether I'd like (to watch) it.
1) I rather have a "limited edition" with 3000 copies floating around than with Fate/Zero where you basically have one month to order your copy.
2) 1500 copies feels small, it makes me panic about what to do with certain titles, especially since the messed up spines devalue a lot of their titles.
3) The word "limited" means there's a limit to it that has been defined beforehand. So whether that limit is above the standard run (of a different company) doesn't matter. So it's truly limited.
4) Doing 1000 copies might not be more viable than doing a print run of 3000. I mean, to maximize profits of the LEs Anime Ltd releases they like to delay the regular edition by a year.*
---> Let's say they run out of LEs to sell after 6 weeks like with Fate/Zero, that'd mean they "can't" fill in demand for customers for 46~ weeks to stick to their usual business model.
---> I mean, if there's one thing you better not do, it is piss people expecting it to be unavailable for so long off by moving something forward a lot as "they could have waited if they had known".
---> (there're always people who'd rather buy a regular edition, but simply can't wait a year, but can eg. wait an extra 3 months)
---> [I know I didn't explain this point all that well, but I think it's not hard to understand what I'm coming from]
5) ...
* Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann being an exception, Andrew has explained why that is before. (And for who's wondering, I'm still fed up by the release format of TTGL)
So what is to the point is that I want it, and I want it yesterday. I WANT IT, and that's ALL I have to say about it.
And if you think I'm wrong... *changes camera to right-sided frog perspective* KILL. ME. BABY. [\serious]
Nota bene: If it failed in Japan, and got an English dub in USA, isn't it reason the more to expect it to be licensed in the UK next to in the USA?
While I haven't seen OreImo myself, it can't be that bad... Enough people like to watch a thriller/horror. (;P) [\serious]
Plus, quite honestly, I think some people's reasoning for not liking OreImo is flawed... And don't get me wrong, I respect your opinion and am not trying to convince you incest is alright.
But what I'm getting at is the fact people giving up "incest" as the reason why they don't like OreImo often don't tend to use the same logic/reasoning when judging other anime...
Which makes me sometimes suspect I'm reading stuff from and/or talking to future detainees, outlaws or inmates.
Don't get me wrong, I do NOT condone of incest in real life either (just like I don't condone of some other stuff I like in anime)! ^_~
Nota bene: "you" is a metaphor for any hater of OreImo for the reason of "incest".
Note bene 2: I apologize to anyone who feels offended by what I just said.
As far as I'm aware MVM actually got shipped Blu-ray Disc copies from Sentai Filmworks for Another (and a few other titles), instead of Hanabee, so it isn't impossible for MVM to query the new 3-disc complete collection.
Especially since the initial volumes of Bodacious Space Pirates were region A+B, the new complete collection could/should be as well.
You know what would be crazy, as in awesome, if you could somehow license Clannad for France and get a deal with Manga where you add the English dub and subs to the BD and get Manga let's say eg. 750 copies to sell in the UK. =3anime_andrew said:

Hey, know what? I don't care whether it bombed in Japan in this case. Whether it bombed elsewhere is not to the point, it has an English dub and seems like a fun series.Lawrence said:

I believe they initially told Mangaranga they were planning to use the Hanabee discs, but on FaceBook it sounded like they might be delaying it in favor of seeing whether the new Sentai version is better.Shiroi Hane said:

Waiting patiently to see if Viz has this in the US[/quote]
They have Stardust Crusaders or at least are dubbing it for Warner Brothers I think.. They announced it and some of the cast last week.

The negativity is strong in this one. I'm pretty sure at some point you must of been walking past a park and seen Jerome and Jeremy playing football with a kitten or something haha
But on topic is that something you would buy? It gets manga off the fence about proper 'collector's editions' (yes I do like their steel books but 1 every 2 years ain't enough) and would take the sting out of printing costs. And to take the risk down even further only do 1,000 copies like a true limited edition. No offense to Andrew but giving Durarara!! a 3,000 print run and calling it "limited" really isn't considering MVM's standard print run is 1,500
No offence taken - but it's again about perception. If it's not going to be reprinted ever then it is a limited run - especially if using fancier packaging than a standard Amaray
. Also a large majority of "Limited" titles outside of anime are at smallest 4,000 - 5,000 so it really just depends on the context I guess.I'm experimenting with what is viable - but the less units there are, the more you have to charge to output the same level of quality being done already...
Conan - In regards to OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire, I can probably guess as to why we're getting a delayed European release - the leaks of XY started in Italy. Canada doesn't have a release date yet, which is another region largely responsible for leaks. With only seven days separating the Japanese/US release with the Europe, I'd wager that all the seven game languages will be on one cartridge, like with X and Y.
Obviously, nothing has officially been said on the subject, but it's the only one that makes sense for me. We do get Hyrule Warriors a week before the US and Fantasy Life a whole month before them though.
