In the rush to get new shows streamed or out on DVD to appease the fans that want the new shows as soon as Japan, it appears that companies have forgotten that some shows they already have have sequels, OVAs and movies. The reason for this maybe that the shows did not sell so well or the price of licenses are just to high on shows that did sell (who is going to spend twice as much to make the same or less?). Another reason could be with all the companies coming, going and changing their names nobody knows who has what licenses or wants to jump in and only have the later series (people who can't get the earlier stuff are not likely to buy just the new).
What chance do we have of getting some of the sequels out there if they go out of the 1-2 year time frame it used to take to get things to Western DVDs from Japanese broadcast. Some, none, sub only?
Some shows I am personally waiting for are Shakugan no Shana, Hell Girl, Moonlight Mile, Familiar of Zero and Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple I know some of these may not be the best titles available, but I want to have the rest of the stories. Also several of these shows have a big enough following that I can't understand why they have not been picked up.
So what shows are people waiting for?
