14:59:43 <bay|AX|TRSI> those are some of the great titles we've had come out recently, first i want to talk about the value releases of the noitamina titles...
15:00:08 <bay|AX|TRSI> also on Rose of Versailles, we've started shipping the second box set, and i've been working on this for many years and finally convinced the powers that be that it would be a good title to release

15:01:23 <bay|AX|TRSI> Princess Kngiht (coming soon)
15:01:50 <bay|AX|TRSI> I know we were planning to put it out earlier... the original classic tezuka series.. it was from 1968 in japan, and syndicated in english in the 1970s... it will be releaed with the english dub from back then

15:03:34 <bay|AX|TRSI> it loses colors

15:21:29 <bay|AX|TRSI> once the first print runs out, the color won't be there

15:24:30 <bay|AX|TRSI> Q: Any reason for the push of shows with strong female leads?
15:24:36 <bay|AX|TRSI> A: They are good shows
15:24:45 <bay|AX|TRSI> The fact is they are overlooked by everyone else and they are good shows
15:24:50 <bay|AX|TRSI> that's the short answer to your question
15:25:03 <bay|AX|TRSI> Q: Release date for princess Knight?

15:28:47 <bay|AX|TRSI> I'm sure we're going to come up with something for xmas this year...but i don't know what
15:29:26 <bay|AX|TRSI> Q: Complexity in licensing blu-rays for titles that have blu-rays in Japan?
15:29:35 <bay|AX|TRSI> A: Number of issues there, one being blu-rays as a whole are more expensive
15:29:39 <bay|AX|TRSI> the one we are selling is a smaller audience
15:29:45 <bay|AX|TRSI> so we have to loo kat what will be possible for us
15:29:52 <bay|AX|TRSI> and we have to figure out if we can make money
15:30:00 <bay|AX|TRSI> we do run a business,
15:30:05 <bay|AX|TRSI> the fact of the matter is we are looking at bluray
15:30:09 <bay|AX|TRSI> it will be a case by case basis
15:30:13 <bay|AX|TRSI> it will depend on the materials in japan
15:30:39 <bay|AX|TRSI> for example, as much as i like princess nine, we're not going to release that on blu-ray, there isn't a market for it
15:31:43 <bay|AX|TRSI> Q: Do you consider digital copies on like itunes? or kindle or ebook?
15:32:41 <bay|AX|TRSI> A: A number of our titles are available on itunes, in fact itunes is running junjou romatica at the end of the month which will be the first subtitled anime ever on itunes i believe
15:32:18 <bay|AX|TRSI> our stuff is on hulu and youtube and other places
15:32:54 <bay|AX|TRSI> Q: Any more niche classics.?
15:33:25 <bay|AX|TRSI> A: I love the classics, any of tthese i can bring back to america, i will.. i think japan has become more receptive to the titles, it's still a case by case basis of working with the licensor for the titles
15:33:39 <bay|AX|TRSI> there are titles that i think we hvae a market and can sell and be profitable, i'll relase those
15:34:01 <bay|AX|TRSI> Q: I brought this up last year?
15:34:04 <bay|AX|TRSI> A: Did I answer it?
15:34:07 <bay|AX|TRSI> Q: No
15:34:32 <bay|AX|TRSI> A: Good, i don't like answering questions
15:34:19 <bay|AX|TRSI> Q: RA(?) Graphic Novels?
15:34:22 <bay|AX|TRSI> A; Looking into it
15:35:27 <bay|AX|TRSI> Q: Have you ever considered licensing Future Boy Conan?
15:35:32 <bay|AX|TRSI> A: Maybe
15:35:50 <bay|AX|TRSI> that's about as much answer as you will get from me today
