12:57:11 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> so what we are going to do is Q&A
12:57:15 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> and in honor of kannagi...
12:57:28 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> we're going to do something unusual, we usually have giveaways, but we will be giving away the kannagi shirt
12:57:43 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> the way im going to do it is one of the complaints with the shirts is that they are only one size
12:57:55 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> so this time we actually have multiple sizes
12:58:09 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q&A
12:58:21 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Art boxes for R2 and 00
12:58:50 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: No plans. The artbox trend has sorta cycled through a bit in the market place, so even niche sales make it hard to produce sincec the boxes are expensive so we are looking at alternate ways
12:59:27 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Plan to release gundam00 or .hack on bluray?
12:59:27 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A we don't know yet
12:59:47 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Sequel to outlaw star?
12:59:50 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: would be nice, we don't have control over it..
13:00:25 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Bandai annonced they will be putting animation on bandai website.. how does that effect your digital streaming rights.?
13:00:31 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Badai channel stuff?
13:00:53 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A; Basically we were using streaming similar to the way we used the broadcast... it's basically been a vehicle operating together...
13:00:58 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> There is no conflict...
13:01:10 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Are you looking into GW and GW:EW for Bluray
13:01:10 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: We wish
13:02:05 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Were the references in Lucky Star a problem in licensing?
13:02:24 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: What references.. thats a ... up to the studio to clear it... Kadokawa publishing related so they handled it
13:02:38 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Angel links or Outlaw star in complete sets/bluray
13:02:43 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: Tough to say without having something we can announce
13:02:47 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> we are certainly moving more into bluray
13:03:12 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> One of the strategies we are currently talking with BV in Japan is that, until now, we were doing our own authoring and they were doing authoring
13:03:19 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> but bluray rauthoring is expensive so we were talking about sharing the cost
13:04:14 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Gundam 00, they've been cutting the stuff after the credits on Syfy.. that's on the discs right?..
13:04:26 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: That's on the discs, we can't control the editing for Syfy
13:04:28 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Gundam 00 movie?
13:04:33 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: In production in Japan
13:04:52 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Video game licensing... any gundam or geass related for 360/ps3 in the US?
13:04:56 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: We don't do videogammes, thats a diferent division
13:05:04 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> You would have to speak with someone from Namco bandai games
13:05:15 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> we handle licensing through, but we haven't found a licensee (iyadomi)
13:05:18 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: GUndam Live action?
13:05:20 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: Ask sunrise
13:06:06 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Fathrom events... people have complained that it is only 1 night... any possibility of getting encore or multi-night enggaments?
13:06:29 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: Two ways to do theatricals in the US, 1 night in many theaters (430 for E7) or art house theaters for a week
13:06:36 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> kinda the same difference, its tough unless you are disney
13:06:47 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> for us, this casts a wider net doing what we did with fathom
13:07:01 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> obviously in the future, if there is a film that warrented it, we could do more than 1 night
13:07:03 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> either strategy, you will miss people
13:07:08 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> but we try to get it as many people as possible
13:08:07 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Releases has schedule slippage.. can you talk about it? Will it be avoided in the future?
13:07:55 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: Believe me, they are more unpleasant for us, we know its frustrating
13:08:06 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> There is a lot of boring explanations i could get into like bad masters and such
13:08:11 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> different things happen unfortunately
13:08:21 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> we are trying to tighten that up and make sure it doesn't happen as much as possible
13:08:45 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Kurokami that came out onn youtube.. was released at the same time as the Japanese
13:08:53 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: IAtv did it simultaneously
13:09:00 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> how do you go about doing something like that?
13:09:15 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> that was very difficult, it was extremely difficult to have a show dubbed in english and released simultaneously
13:09:23 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> but it was a challenge we wanted to try and it worked out
13:09:35 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> it answered the demand of getting it out as soon as possible
13:09:39 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> the dvd will be out soonish
13:09:43 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: more anime on youtube?
13:09:47 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: it's coming...
13:10:13 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: licensing classics like L-gain and Ideon?
13:10:42 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: we work together on certain ttiesl.. those titles, im not sure.. there is a lot of material to grapple with and some of the oldler shows we have to look at and see how viable there is
13:12:08 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Haruhi S2 news?
13:12:20 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: NDA, classified
13:13:30 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Any legal issues with Sgt Frog?
13:13:49 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: That's funimation..
13:14:20 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Q: Really old BVUSA titles... re-released anytime soon?
13:14:20 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> A: no plans
13:14:35 <bay|NYAF|Bandai> Thank you for coming.. getting Qs from above
Notes: None
