FYE & Amazon's websites say it's out but it's not in stock. It's available for rent at Blockbuster online, but has no buying option. It's not on Best Buy's website, probably thanks to their cutbacks on anime. Forget about Media Blaster's website.

Hell, I haven't even seen the US DVD boxart. It might take a week before it goes into full circulation

They damn well better record an English dub to this. Lest they will not receive my money.

I assume this release was dropped? A few months less than a year passed now and as far as I know, absolutely no word of it.

Have to say I'm disappointed. I would really love to see this dubbed...

Media Blasters is currently on Twitter where they are currently teasing everyone with hints that they're still working on Zetsubou but can't share any info with anyone. At this point in time, I'd excuse them if they were going to surprise us and have all three seasons subbed or a blu-ray release, but if it's going to just be the barebones minimum, it seems like a cheap move to put it on the back burner, give no reason or excuse as to why, and just go about with their business as if no one cared about it.

Then again, from the looks of it, they've been rather disorganized for a while and their Twitter comments on Zetsubou consisting of "As soon as we have concrete info to share on Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei, we promise we will share it", it seems more along the lines of uncertainty than laziness. However, with Twitter followers constantly asking for Zetsubou, I'd think that maybe it'd cause a lightbulb to go off in their heads is that maybe we would rather have Zetsubou than reissues of older licenses, Queens Blade, kaijuu movies, and obscure hentai.

Also, Media Blasters' Twitter, in case they might announce something new on SZS: http://twitter.com/#!/mediablasters

A Blu-Ray release would be excellent, considering all three seasons (and OVAs) have been released on Blu-Ray in Japan.

Apparently blu-ray source (even in Japan) sucks. See this:

On March 8th, 2013, the boss of Media Blasters wrote that "Sayonora Sensei and Moyashimon are titles that were once acquired and no plans to be released at this time. These titles can and may be licensed to another company." (http://www.media-blasters.com/main/index.php/the-news/811-mb-tries-to-clear-some-posts-up)

Not long ago, I discovered SZS and had hoped that I could enjoy it on DVD... so hopefully another company will release it! I'm relatively new to the anime-business; could an experienced anime-fan tell me his/her guess on how long it usually takes for a relatively unknown anime like SZS to be released on DVD? I mean, does it usually take a long time or can it, if a company decides to buy the license, also happen quickly then?
