First two posts are now finally updated and I changed the layout a bit.

[WTK]

First post updated once more...7 properties removed from the list: [C] - Control - The Money and Soul of Possibility, A Certain Magical Index, Aria the Scarlet Ammo, Deadman Wonderland, Fafner: Heaven and Earth Movie, Hellsing Ultimate: Volumes 1-4, Tenchi Universe.

Here is a look of what could be released sometime in 2012...

Tier 1 - Pretty much close being locks to get solicited for 2012

• Serial Experiments Lain | Trailer is out on select home video releases.
• Steins;Gate | English cast announced & first trailer is out as well.
• Tenchi Muyo! movies | noted as "available now" on Otaku USA (Oct '12 issue)
• Hellsing (TV)
• Pretear
• Sengoku Basara - Samurai Kings: The Movie

Tier 2 - Anywhere in the could/should be released in 2012 category...

• Black Lagoon
• Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage
• Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail (OVA)
• Hellsing Ultimate Vol.5 - 8
• Shakugan no Shana: The Movie
• Shakugan no Shana S (OVA)
• Tenchi in Tokyo
• Tenchi Muyo! OVAs
• Blessing of the Campanella
• Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts (OVA & Season 2)
• A Certain Scientific Railgun
• Level E

Tier 3 - Probably not getting released in 2012

• Heaven's Lost Property the Movie: The Angeloid of Clockwork
• We Without Wings - Under the Innocent Sky

Tier 4 - Stuck in another dimension (status unknown)

• Strike Witches (Season 2) | Will this really be released in 2012?

My guess for November & December (some of which can be flipped)

I think 7 properties for November is very possible (a few more wouldn't surprise me). 7 for December though does seem quite a bit.

It will be interesting to see how Black Lagoon will be handled (I'm guessing S1 & 2 DVD set, S1 BD, S2 BD) and whether they will be released in the same month. Same thing can be said for the Tenchi properties, which one is next?

• Nov [7] | Mass Effect: Paragon Lost; Hellsing (TV), Hellsing Ultimate Vol.5 - 8, Sengoku Basara - Samurai Kings: The Movie, Serial Experiments Lain, Steins;Gate, Tenchi Muyo! movies
• Dec [7] | Is This a Zombie (Season 1); Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts (OVA & Season 2), Black Lagoon, Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage, Pretear, Shakugan no Shana: The Movie, Tenchi Muyo! OVAs

Slipped up on the last DVD-Box release of One Piece s5, btw. The set I was thinking of was Log Collection Franky and that is set to be released 8/24/12. Log Collection Rocket Man is the end of the episodes FUNimation is calling Season 4.

I got the episode count screwed up on that. I don't quite like the other Log Collection either. I'm going with this single volume from '09 instead. That currently gets closest to the latest episode count.
