Oh My Goddess TV, Genshiken, Hinotori, and Phantom Acquired by Media Blasters (2005-02-20 10:57:59)
At their Katsucon panel today, Media Blasters announced that they hold the rights to the Oh! My Goddess TV series, Genshiken, Hinotori, and a 3-part OVA called Phantom.
Discuss. I'm rather fuming right now, so I'll add my thoughts later.
I figured we have enough Belldandy fanboys lying around here for this to warrent its own topic. _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

Media Blasters is one of the smaller Anime importing companies on the block. Their most famous work was the Kenshin series (the dub was respectable), but they're a far cry from say, AnimeEigo.
AnimeEigo, as many of you know, is another small licensing company, which did the AMG OVA--and made a supurb Sub/Dub (especially for 1995). Their VA cast is pretty much the universally accepted set of english voices for Keichi, Belldandy, Urd, Skuld, etc. Everyone is crossing their fingers and hoping that Media Blasters will hire the same crew, but its doubtful, meaning all four video releases of AMG series' will have a different set of English VAs.
So... Media Blasters could pull a big surprise on us all, start releasing episodes (either on air or on DVD) within a few weeks and make them good, or completely destroy the series. I'm leaning towards the latter, barring a miracle. _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

Media Blasters released the Invader Zim DVDs, so they're on my 'good' list. I've never seen OH! My Goddess, so I have nothing to complain about. _________________ anime is teh s uck

You know... I just realuzed that I'm acting like any of the Narutards. I should save my bitching for when they announce release dates / VA cast. _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

Who knows? Maybe they'll get the same VAs to do the TV that AE got to do the OVA?

Wow, I lose consciousness for a weekend, and I miss all kinds of stuff.
I'm not bitter or anything except surprised that it was Media Blasters that picked A!MG (I honestly expected Geneon).
Let alone Genshiken, Grenadier and the other titles they've recently announced.

I've been discussing this on another board, and we pretty much agree that it's not a bad thing that Media Blasters got it. If you like Scott Simpson and Juliet Cesario, then it's a good thing it's not Pioneer property. It's quite conceivable that MB would contract them, particularly given their publicly stated interest and the majority of fan opinion.
On the downside, Media Blasters is not well-known for delivering releases in a timely manner, although rumor is that the release will start in the fall. _________________ Krogoth uses Berserk.
