Muse (Taiwan) released Tiger & Bunny in a complete collection DVD collection earlier this month. And a question came up from a consumer in regards to the disappearance of Japan corporate logos during video playback.

And Muse replied back...So basically due to request from Japan, Japan corporate logos are not approved for overseas and thus must be removed.

It's not looking good for US (and other territories like UK and AU).

- 剛發售的TIGER & BUNNY DVD入手了以後受到了驚嚇....

為什麼影片中所有HERO身上的贊助商LOGO全部消失???


- 不好意思，由於日方授權關係，日本企業LOGO並未授權於海外地區，因此LOGO都必須移除。

EDIT: translation via dormcat @ ANN

"We're sorry, due to licensing issues, using logos of Japanese enterprises is not authorized overseas. Therefore they have to be removed."

Just had a quick spin of the UK DVD check disc. The logos are all present and correct here.

So that probably takes care of the AU release as well. Thanks for the confirmation.

I wouldn't prejudge the AU release on that basis just yet. Kaze are releasing Tiger and Bunny in four parts, while Siren are releasing it in 2. On the other hand, Kaze are really Viz Europe, and what they are be releasing could be close to what's being released in the US.

Fair enough. I was thinking more of a region bases rather than disc count, but you have a point. I'm still curious how the Viz Media release will turn out.

Even though Viz Media has yet to announce home video rights to the Tiger & Bunny movies, this Siren Visual news couldn't make it much more clear. I would expect the first movie to be released on Blu-ray and DVD sometime this summer from Viz Media.

Our masters are all the same for the U.S.,Europe and Aus so expect to see the same placements,etc.Our hero mags/cards are supplied by Kaze in Europe so they are also the same.
