Yay for Shana! Glad season 1 will at least be released here but did anyone ask Madman if they've tried contacting Geneon USA for the OVA? I know the chances of that getting released is very slim after the whole demise of Geneon USA but it doesn't hurt to ask. Also, will Madman consider making a box for it once all the individual volumes are released? The US people didn't get one as it was supposed to come with the OVA but we all know what happened after the whole fiasco of Geneon USA shutting down production.

No doubt they will, regardless if we get the OVA or not

The panel had more on this, not much but some.

Yes, Madman will contact a company that has ceased to exist. No box was mentioned. Sorry that I didn't ask about the OVA but i'm not that familar with the property.

I've added the manga information, man I forgot all about that >.<

The news about the Adult Swim block on Cartoon Network Australia is really bad, that was only way to regularly see anime on TV. The ABC and SBS show so few anime series, with even less kids anime series shown by Toasted TV on Ten now.

Good to see Madman will be matching the Naruto collections in the USA, much better than single releases.

Yes, I doubt anything further will be released under their Tokyo Night Train label in future.

Plus a friend of mine will be happier too as he wants the series but he wants to buy as much as possible to which he wants to actually import the individual volumes as there are more of them o.O (episode wise)

I imagine that CN will expand their Adult Swim cartoons into the section that formerly contained anime. They have enough stuff to fill out the entire block with that stuff. Which is pretty great if you're a fan of Williams Street. _________________ XBL: Tamaaya \| PSN: Stormo \| Manifest I have a big gun I took it from my lord sick with justice I just want to feel you

On the licensing front, it doesn't so much matter that Geneon USA is no more; last I heard Madman were going to the Japanese companies to license titles. The only real issue is the production of a dub, I have no idea if it'd sell well enough here for Madman to cover the cost of that. Or would it be possible for Madman to produce R1 NTSC discs as well and sell them to the American market?

Adult Swim is dropping the anime block but may still show anime. Both Air Gear and Le Chevalier D'Eon will be finishing up this week but Bleach, Eureka 7 and Inu Yasha are still listed until the end of the year so technically it is no longer a "block". Unfortuately their guide doesn't show January to confirm this. http://www.adultswim.com.au/jsp/schedule/index.jsp _________________ "Adams' first law of television: The weight of the backside is greater than the force of the intellect" Phillip Adams (1939-)

Shakugan no Shana (season 1 at least) was completely released in the US. Geneon brought out the last disc quiet a few months before announcing that they were no longer releasing anything. I almost got volumes 3-6 to complete my collection started with the TNT releases. It's simply a case of Madman getting the subtitle scripts and dub track for their DVDs which is pretty normal for when they go via the Japanese liscensor.

Black Lagoon Second Barrage is an odder case. The first season was released no problems but at least one of the VA's confirmed on their blog that despite Geneon folding that production of the dub for Second Barrage was continuing. Of course TNT never said if their lisence for Black Lagoon included both seasons or just the first.

I'm of mixed opinions about the cancellation of the anime block on CN, but that's mostly becuase I watch subs and listening to dubs sounds weird for anything except El-Hazard OAVs.
I don't particularly care if Naruto is being relesead fatpack or single collection either given that 95% of the episodes end on a cliffhanger anyways. Will still be buying it.

Now my only real decision will be do I replace the TNT versions of Shana Vol 1 adn Vol 2 with the Madman versions or just collect from Vol 3 onwards. The extras may decide for me.

Including the OVA? Because that's what we were unsure on a release of.

well geneon unmistakably has some good titles in which they should at least finish... or they should just release the 'high-profile' titles which will at least give them some money. but oh well. oh and about adult swim.. naruto and bleach (etc) draw heaps of viewers to CN, so even without the block they will still show them.

iirc, Sly said something along the lines of ABC2 showing interest, and that they were talking/going to with other channels, but that really nothing was confirmed yet.

I hope ABC2 does end up picking up more anime though, as it'll further justify my purchase of an analogue/digital TV tuner card. I don't really use the digital that much yet, and I don't really feel like forking out for sattelite, since I don't watch much TV anyway.

I doubt the ABC would have the required funding to offer much more anime. The ABC always have to fight for decent funding and would be focusing on their new ABC3 kids channel next year, if it still goes ahead.

But the kids channel will need programming for the teens at night. Also I believe Death Note will be on ABC2 early next year.

Well the initial news articles on the ABC3 channel mentioned it would be targeted at children under 15, and screening 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily.

Considering the large amount of time slots to cover with programming, and the targeted age group. I don't see the ABC licensing much more anime series, and been limited to only G/PG rated anime series.

V10 in Feb
V11 in April
V12 in May

"Madman will also be discontinuing the release of individual Naruto volumes with volume 12 and restarting with fatpack collections similar to the US release. These will begin with volume 1 in May and will retail for $49.95 and will remain uncut." Wells that's what I read and that's how I interpreted it...Keywords being "discontinuing" "restarting". _________________ Currently Watching... Soul Eater D.Gray-Man Ben 10: Alien Force Bleach

They are discontinuing the individual release (so you can still finish box 2 off) and are restarting the series as fatpacks. You'll still be able to finish Naruto off. Each fatpack'd have the standard number of eps you get per box now. You'd just have to start from where box 2 finishes.

Don't think I can make it more clear that's not the case with Volume 10-12 that WILL be released in Feb, April and May respectively so that it WILL finish off the second collection, so what's the problem?

There are 6 slots in the second box. 12 volumes. All 12 volumes will be released.

I think the point Low Lines was trying to make is that the new collections won't be consistent with the existing ones. Those who have actually been forking out for the singles are going to have two chunky boxes plus a bunch of fatpacks that probably don't match.

Yep - Austar shares many channels with Foxtel - Cartoon Network is the same on both.

CN is canceling the Adult Swim block? Hot damn! I thought it was kinda weird when a new show didn't replace Air Gear and instead Inu Yasha was pushed back half an hour. Now I guess I know why. Damn it, I was really enjoying Bleach. Guess I'll have to rely on the manga from now on (Well, when my useless comic shop FINALLY gets my copy of volume 3 in I will, anyway) Oh, and I've made sure to e-mail a complaint in myself. Doubt they'll care though, what with me not being a a school age kiddy. Guess this just means I'll be avoiding CN once the anime block dies. (Except for Boomerang.

WTF!! Naruto in fat packs - i don't mind them from the perspective that they are cheaper but they don't look as cool and now my 2 art boxes are going to look really out of place...way to screw people for buying individual releases from the start but on the + side you guys got Shana and Black Lagoon which basically makes up for the appauling news above, now all you need is Kamichu and Strawberry Panic. On a side note I'd like to congratulate everyone who didn't support TNT - (those bastards didn't even make artboxes + they were releasing titles madman would have anyway) _________________ PSN= Tiger_Tim "Fix you... or the world?

CN is canceling the Adult Swim block? Hot damn! I thought it was kinda weird when a new show didn't replace Air Gear and instead Inu Yasha was pushed back half an hour.

actually they showed two eps of inu last night and hopefully they'll do the same tonight and until they stop the anime block...

So there won't be complete collections of the first two boxes of Naruto but fatpacks instead? Is that what I'm reading? If this is the case then it's a shame. I decided not to buy Naruto when it came out because I was waiting for the complete collections but it looks like I'm going to have to track down both boxes now before it's too late. I just hope this doesn't happen with Bleach too. _________________ For all the latest J-Pop news, releases and in-depth discussions, please visit: http://www.jpopkpop.net/forums

I have just been looking at what is screened on the US version of Adult Swim - Death Note, Blood+, Bleach (beyond ep.52), Shin Chan, Samurai Champloo, Big O, Fullmetal Alchemist, Inu Yasha and Astro Boy. - We are being ripped off! _________________ "Adams' first law of television: The weight of the backside is greater than the force of the intellect" Phillip Adams (1939-)

I just learnt about Anime Action night being canceled on CN, I am absolutely DEVASTATED Anime Action was my ONLY source of anime and I wanted to catch up on some eps I missed out on of Eureka Seven and the French show, i'll never watch CN again in protest How am I suppose to finish Inuyasha now? well at least Bleach ended (it's up to ep52 but only the first 52 eps have been dubbed so far) in closing, a terrible occurence you know, in fact if it were possible I would get rid of the whole cartoon channels and save myself some money

Cartoon Network started season 3 of Naruto last night and Astroboy (1980) will start mid January on Boomerang so all is not lost. I actually haven't seen the 80s Astroboy yet (sacrilege) so it will be good to catch up. _________________ "Adams' first law of television: The weight of the backside is greater than the force of the intellect" Phillip Adams (1939-)
