Is there a legal way to watch the Mirai Nikki OVA, Redial? It doesn't appear to be on the US DVD.

Redial was released way after the US DVD was released. Funimation don't have the rights and pretty much it will be forgotten.

I feel this happens quite a bit with OVA's, rights get grabbed quickly at the start and then we lose out on OVA's later on because they jumped in early.

That's one problem. The other is that apparently certain OVAs released for manga aren't available for license. :x

Kodansha couldn't even convince their own corporate sibling to let them do a region 2 DVD for the UK release of Attack on Titan Vol. 17 (the UK version also includes a Region 1 DVD), god only knows how hard it must be for companies who aren't corporate siblings of the licensor to sort it out...

Anywhere to get the kizumonogatari LN apart from amazon? It's sold out :/
It's sold out everywhere I checked. The book just got released and I guess there's stock issues. Vertical probably underestimated the demand.

Is there anyplace that has the Psycho pass Season 1 LE from FUNi?
Also did anyone receive the AoT Vol 17 LE as mine got cancelled by amazon?

Psycho Pass Season 1 Premium Edition has been sold out for well over a year. I guess eBay will be the only place you can look for it.

Also it's been confirmed that the Attack on Titan OVA released with Volume 17's Limited Edition is Region 1 only (Kodansha Comics doesn't have the rights outside of America), effectively screwing everyone outside of America. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason for Amazon cancelling it.

So they were able to convince the Japanese licensor to let them release a fancy audiobook/radio play-type thing, but they couldn't clear a Kindle release? If you aren't even going to try for digital, the least you could do is make sure your book is actually available.

I kinda felt bad that Kodansha Comics had digitally reissued large portions of Vertical's back catalogue, but if Vertical declined digital rights, kinda serves them right. Anybody got any idea why Kodansha are just dumping graphic novels out there with no promo though? I find it really weird that 8 volumes of Space Brothers dropped over 2 months, without even a word reaching me. I even had it selected for the AUKN Poll until I found it on Comixology...
 
My Attack On Titan 17 shipped from Amazon USA a few days ago. Seems a bit pointless to region lock DVDs in this day and age but it doesn't bother me.
