Lets face it, they are the end of the chain and are always going to lose out, maybe in a few years the UK will be a more viable BR market and Manga will have a PR person that can tell us in advance that a BR is incoming so we don't go for the US version immediately.

The only way I will start buying more UK anime is if America gets more DVD only releases (like Heaven's Lost Property Season 2) or more crocked blu-rays (like Persona 4 The Animation which is dubbed only) due to it having the same region code as Japan.

I'm taking a similar stance atm, US BR and if it has to be DvD i'll go for UK/Aus becuase I can't stand the flickering I get with the R1 stuff.

Well that's their own damn fault as far as I'm concerned.Rosencrantz said:
Nothing says "Viable Market" than cancelling the first big series to be in the format and then not finishing any other series even those that only required two volumes to be published.

Well there's Phineas and Ferb and Motorcity on the channel, Pokemon Black and White (If you enjoy that sort of thing) and I think Gravity Falls is coming up on the channel soon.
Then again, those are just from the top of my head.
Pokémon airs on CITV first though.theirsbailiff said:Rosencrantz said:Disney XD just plain sucks, I used to enjoy Jetix but then we had a name change and a massive unwelcome influx of live action shows

Part of me thinks that had a hand in Inazuma being bumrushed through Disney XD as it did. I'm genuinely surprised that Nintendo didn't come down on Disney Like a ton of bricks for the whole fiasco.Joshawott said:Pokémon airs on CITV first though.theirsbailiff said:Rosencrantz said:Disney XD just plain sucks, I used to enjoy Jetix but then we had a name change and a massive unwelcome influx of live action shows

If I was running Nintendo Of Europe (and don't get me wrong, they've done some great stuff like the Rainfall games and I imagine the 3DS region locking debacle was not of thier choosing) the first thing that would have happened once it was clear DXD was not running E11 only after a month would be that I'd be pulling Pokémon from them and offering the rights to CN or something.
That and working on Getting Pokémon Kanto on Kix.
Genuinely surprised they're still running Motocity. Too awesome for that channel.
CITV had Pokémon before Disney XD had Inazuma 11. Disney XD started airing the show with the "Battle Dimension" season (2008-2009), but after that season, CITV started premièring the show first, with Disney XD airing them at a later date.ConanThe3rd said:Part of me thinks that had a hand in Inazuma being bumrushed through Disney XD as it did.

Not sure where else to put this so it might as well go here. In The Guardian's "Your next box set" feature this week they are covering GitS: Stand Alone Complex.

That's what I mean. I could see Disney geting sour about that.

Nicely positive review and GitS is the kinda thing you hope never goes out of print I reckon.

I still see GITSSAC in HMV all the time and I received the set for my birthday so, yeah, it's still out.

Just thought I would put this out there. Index finally has a release date of October on up1. I know how long people here have been looking forward to it. Now where is my railgun funi ?
MangaUK have said that there are currently no plans to license A Certain Scientific Index or A Certain Scientific Railgun, but that's only because it hasn't been offered to them. (Source). The "but only because it hasn’t ever been offered to us" bit is interesting in that they didn't outright dismiss the possibility if it was offered.
YES. Personally, I think Railgun might perform better, due to the manga being available here. In fact, I'm looking forward to Index simply because I enjoyed the Railgun manga.devilrules666 said:
