Yeah I heard about this, this is sad and not a good start to the new year. Looks like Bandai may face a similar fate like ADV and Geneon.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--

I'm always assuming piracy was involved. At least that what Steve Blum and Christina Vee's tweets said.

BANZAI!!! BANZAI!!! BANZAI!!!

It's really ridiculous that all these companies are picking up licenses and then dropping them. I have so many manga series that are not complete from various companies and will never - or not in the near future be completed.

I was going to pick up the entire manga series of Ichigo 100% after reading the 1st 2 volumes, then I realized they stopped after volume 14/18 and there's no plans to finish it, like seriously?

Shana was also discontinued along with Asu no Yoichi, there's 3 series I will never be able to complete my collection of.

WHAT?
No D:

So I won't be able to buy K-ON!! S2 in English? ;__;

Awww.... I wanted to buy Gosick :(..... maybe somebody else will pick it up........ atleast they still have their old titles ...

I am quite upset about this as well. K-ON!! was the only Bandai anime that I was really looking forward to purchasing. It's so sad to see yet another American anime/manga distributor shut down. ; ^ ;

They were losing money like everybody here is. The situation of anime in America has been crap for years, especially now.

This is looking REALLY bad. I grew up on Bandai Entertainment. I look forward to reading tomorrow's article on this topic.

For now. They'll only keep printing the titles they have until the licenses expire, so you best go buy anything you want that Bandai has now as who knows when the licenses will expire.

I gotta hurry up and buy many things from them, sucks that I don't have a part-time job still.:(

Damn there goes my favorite American company. Well time to try and get all the Gundam series now and Code Geass.

Now who will handle and release Gundam here in the states? As long it isn't those faggots from NIS America I don't care who gets them from now on. T_T

Good thing Code Geass Knights finished releasing and I'll be getting the books in a couple weeks.

This is a sad story. I hope Gosick finds a way to be released eventually, hopefully with a dub.

so bandai is going under? this is terrible news.

...what the shit...Tales..what...Bandai what..what's happening..

.....so this is what 2012 is all about. I knew it.

Well, 2012 is off to a good start. =l

Does that mean the complete box set of code geass R2 will not get released? It's scary seeing all these companies having so many problems. First tokyopop now this.

Gosick and Nichijou?! NOOOOOO!! Why? I was looking forward to purchasing both.

It will still come out, anything coming out after February 2012 is affected, Code Geass R2 comes out before that. Pretty much the titles listed in the news entry are the only ones cancelled.
