the yamatocon excuse

I realize Let's Anime posts have been thin on the ground since Christmastime, and I do apologize. Part of why this is, is because I wrote an article for the Star Blazers website about Yamatocon, the 1983 Star Blazers convention in Dallas Texas. This article is now up at Starblazers.com for you to read and enjoy!

I also wrote a short review for the upcoming OTAKU USA magazine, and that took a little time away from the dear Let's Anime. And of course every week over at Mister Kitty I provide commentary for items of questionable quality culled from our vast comic book collection. So it's not like I ain't been busy.

At any rate we should have something goofy for you here in a little while - so don't touch that dial!

A Few Schedule Shifts / Cancellations from Bandai

After Bandai Entertainment's recent revelation of layoffs and downsizing, we expected more schedule changes, and Friday we got them. In their April solicitation mailer they anounced that they are bumping the Gundam Seed Destiny DVD Collection #2 Box from Feb 24 to April 21st, and has also bumped the Wolf's Rain Perfect Collection DVD Boxed Set from Feb 24th to April 7th. This sets up fully half of their planned April releases. The good news is that we will finally be getting a regular edition standard DVD boxed set of Freedom for a good price ($39.98 MSRP), and I for one am damn glad to see that title come down to earth after all the pain it's caused fans, first getting messed around on the ultra expensive HDDVD release, and then getting that overpriced BluRay re-release.

In a very suprising move, they have 'indefinately delayed' the Limited Edition version of Lucky Star #6, and also the planned Gurren Lagann Best CD. 'Indefinately delayed' is just Bandai speak for 'canceled', or at least that's what we're assuming at this time. This was a surprise to us because the limitd version of Lucky Star 5 sold so well through direct retailers like our store, and is actually one of the few upcoming Bandai titles that still had the potential to sell in volume - but hey, what do I know.

Anyway, please note the regular edition of Lucky Star #6 will be released on schedule. Phew! :-) If you have the Limited version on pre-order, probably a good idea to drop us a line and let us know you'd like us to switch the order to the regular version.
