I’ll put in my order at RightStuf, then, while I still can. Meh, I’m just going to buy the remaining four DVDs I need to complete the series; it’ll be cheaper.

Gankutsuou is probably the title everyone will want to buy before it disappears, so don’t hang around ;p. Full series boxset was supposed to be out this month (which is before the November cutoff date for new releases), so there’s still a chance some retailers will be stocking a few copies of that too.

Do you think Gankutsuou would count as an obscure title? xD

Provided it’s nothing too obscure, it should be possible to get what DVDs you want in the near future- retailers are basically going to be selling off what they stock they have until it runs out, and then there’s no more coming from the distributor. Of course, since everyone with money is going to want to get the DVDs while they last, it’s best not to wait around too long.

(On another note, I don’t know how this will affect companies like MVM and Madman that distribute Geneon licensed titles in other countries- in principle they can still print DVDs from their own masters, but I don’t know if there’ll be legal reasons why they can’t do so.)

So, quick question, w/r/t the Geneon crash-and-burn — if I order the DVDs from, say, the Right Stuf fairly soon, will I be able to get them?

Beneath that flabby body lies a wealth of knowledge ;p…and he was saying ‘punyu’, but our in-house translators thought it would be easier on everyone to offer the English equivalent. Similarly, Mikoto’s meows were translated.

I never knew President Aria could say anything else that ‘Punyu’. And that he had so much knowledge on anime.

And thanks for the news on the KgNE OVA, I thought it had been cancelled after all this time.
