Anime Expo - Media Blasters Panel

By Jason Yeh     July 06, 2004

Date: Monday, 7/5 at 12:00 PM
Panelists: John Sirabella, Frank Pannone

John Sirabella started the panel by reconfirming the acquisition of Midori no Hibi. He also announced Media Blasters had licensed Shura No Toki, Asagiri no Miko, and Eiken. The first dvd for Shura No Toki is scheduled for release in November. John also mentioned that Otogizoushi should be out sometime in Spring 2005. When asked regarding disc counts for Midori no Hibi and Gokusen, he replied probably 3 dvds for each series. He stated that they will be releasing a special box for Giant Robo, and that Media Blasters also has the Gin-Rei OVAs. Frank then went over the company's upcoming manga & manwha releases, including Skyscrapers, Level C, Flesh of the Beast Anthology, and Volcano High (all previously announced I believe).
