Oh bloody hell Manga, I get that you're using the Collections but why do that when you have Part 5 on its own it will just piss people off (like myself, I don't want to have 1-2, 3-4, 5 on my shelf).

Minor issue tbh, your buying it because you love the show, not because you like boxes to all be the same size. If anything I'd be more annoyed having to pay that much more for 1-4 on BD if I already had the DvD.
 
I just spotted Robotech: Love Live Alive coming to DVD January 27th 2014 under 'Revelation Films Ltd'.

Lieutenant "Lancer" Belmont, a veteran of the Robotech's New Generation, recounts his journey from before his first encounter with Scott Bernard to the aftermath following Admiral Rick Hunter's expedition to liberate the Earth from the mysterious Invid race.

Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning on BD too. Which I imagine is to do with Siren's cancellation till next year of it?

I feel for Andrew & Co, all these push backs = [

11 titles? madness. We already know one is Dusk Maiden Of Amnesia. They practically confirmed Infinite Stratos on their FB the other week. Excited for the other 9 :)
 
Basically for anyone wondering why so many delays - the prior mentioned close death in my family was a terminal cancer, so I spent the last two months taking care of them on and off with another family member. Won't give the details beyond that as it's pretty raw but my family given the degree I went to there you can guess how close it was probably.

Each delay explanation is accurate however the real root cause is the above as a result of it was I was working remotely as I could for the two months before at about 50% of my usual efficiency. The trade offs are things take longer to be checked or remedied without me around as some of my team are still learning the ropes. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused to anyone by this but hopefully there's a degree of understanding afforded to it compassionately.

Simulcasts have been kept on schedule thanks to support and my priority now is to ensure no delays bleed into our 2014 slate such as Gurren Lagann, Durarara or otherwise and next week is when we go through all Q1 items to ensure this.

I'd rather let actions speak louder than words from this point forwards though so watch this space for the future.

Bless you, I understand. Hopefully you didn't put down anything said as bitching as no one here is like that. Personal issues like the ones you're dealing with come before what's been going on with the company IMO, I would of done the same thing.

I know I'm just a fan and you're part of a business that I'm a fan of but my thoughts are with you during these hard times.
 
Judging by the Twitter image MVM have posted. I can probably guess Hakuoki might be one of the secret titles alongside Dusk Maiden of Amnesia to arrive from MVM in the UK.

Another Hanabee title too .. I wonder if they've picked up anything else from their catalog....
 
Then I guess it's time to play the guessing game.

Surely someone will give us Toradora, especially as the complete collection and OAV either didn't happen or sold out almost immediately in Australia, fingers crossed
 
Oh god, the new DBZ blu-rays look WORSE than the orange bricks. I didn't even think that was possible :eek: They've been DNR'd to hell and back, when you combine that with the cropping it makes this release worthless. It's such a pity, the Level sets seemed to look gorgeous. Shame it was just too expensive to do the transfers in that way I guess.

The simultaneous dub news for Space Dandy is amazing.
