This week myself and Aaron from the Weekly Anime Review take a look at Super Dimension Century Orguss, a classic series from the 1980′s. You know “the before time”. Anywho, a hiccup has meant that the two volumes I own and the one volume Aaron owns, are the only ones we can have at the moment. Imaginasian and TMS are working to start printing more DVD’s soon but it’s not looking good folks.
This show is the twin to my appearance on the WARP anime podcast hosted by Aaron. Check out it here. Aaron released his show AGES ago before he even went on holiday! Oh, well.

I can chime in regarding ImaginAsian’s inability to ship overseas. They’re license is for N. America, and since they have the direct relationship with the licensing party for both broadcast and home media so they have something to lose if they violate that contract. BUT if they sell to a 3rd party, then that 3rd party can do whatever they want with it because ImaginAsian has enough degrees of seperation from them.

Ah ha. Again the eternal problem rears it’s ugly head. ImaginAsian need to sell to the more people the better. But they can’t (we can pretty much guess they tried and failed) attract the attention of Amazon etc. So they run with the biggest gun they can find: RightStuf. Problem is that RS simply doesn’t the infrastructure like Amazon to deal with overseas customers without asking them for their entire life history. So RS loses out on people (myself included) who won’t share their financial details with them. IA loses out because overseas revenues can’t be gotten as easily. And the overseas fans lose out forcing them to resort to increasingly expensive but less compromising methods to own these titles.
I hope TMS can find a new burn-to-own replication company soon.
