Media Blasters licenses status update
The main purpose of this thread is to see what Media Blasters titles could (since it's not always 100% known) be OOP. Keep in mind sometimes OOP doesn't equate to license expiring. With Media Blasters their stock replenishment turnaround time is all over the place (more toward months).
The list below is the latest updated based on stock at Amazon.com and RightStuf.com (I also included past OOP titles for completeness sake). While it's not going to 100% accurate, it does give a good enough of assessment of the current title stock status. And also the status listed below can change at any time. Take a look at the list. There more and more catalog titles heading toward OOP status (not just the older movies/OVAs). If I missed something and/or have something wrong, feel free to mention it in this thread. Note: bold titles indicate properties confirmed to be no longer licensed by Media Blasters! Recent licenses with upcoming solicited releases
Licenses currently available @ retailers
Soon to be fully OOP? <De-listed @ Amazon.com, but available for order @ TRSI>
OOP
No longer licensed, but still available for purchase @ retailers

Re: Media Blasters licenses status update
There ought to be a Status Unknown section for titles like Saiyonara Zetsubo Sensei that are licensed but a release is not guaranteed. I'm sure there are other titles in the same boat.

Re: Media Blasters licenses status update
Is Genshiken (Seasons 1 & 2 + OVAs) the next one to go OOP?
The 2011 Seasons 1 & 2 + OVAs Collection [STACKpak] has a very low counter @ TRSI now. It's still on sale at Amazon.com for $29.93.

Re: Media Blasters licenses status update
No longer listed @ TRSI
It looks like Grenadier, Midori Days, Sadamitsu the Destroyer, Step Up Love Story,...are going OOP now. Same thing for GaoGaiGar: Season 2; I guess this was the reason the S1 & 2 Collection release got canceled. Now in TRSI's Closeout Items section (mostly with counters)

Hello Blaster Supporters! We keep getting posts and emails about a few issues that the boss would like to clear up. Hoping this will clear up the clutter. There are a few major questions we get asked and to clear them up we have to first give a little story. MB at its highest was at about 50 people and releasing 5 or more DVDs per month. Well as the home video industry went down so did MB in size and sales. A major issue at MB was a major back accident in the warehouse that slowed down my ability to manage the company and stopped me from travelling especially to Japan. Hence it threw the company into a major tailspin which culminated to a former boss of mine and business associate going around Japan showing a tax paper stating we were out of business than leading to the few remaining people in production leaving and no Japanese licensor wanting to work with us. I was actually personally planning to go on to Fever Dreams and produce films and let MB finish its last days. Well the whole situation upset me enough mainly cause MB did not go out on my terms. Hence I made a promise I would rebuild one last time while still trying to enjoy my love of film making with Fever Dreams. Belleville happened and the Factory was born! Like myself, left for dead and needing lots of work, it got me going and rebuilding. The ghosts are alive and well in the factory! 2013 is looking good! But lots happen in between so finally to the meat of it. Bakuman is no longer an MB title and any guesses of who or if it will be released is simply a guess. Sayonora Sensei and Moyashimon are titles that were once acquired and no plans to be released at this time. These titles can and may be licensed to another company. Godzilla and Toho, we do still control both titles and are still in negotiations to resolve issues with all the releases except for Godzilla vs. Megalon barebones edition. We are hoping it can be resolved in 2013. Many titles have expired and the list is too long here. Of the major ones, Kenshin and Berserk are no longer MB titles. The only labels MB will continue to acquire and release in for 2013 are AnimeWorks, Tokyo Shock and Kitty. In addition there will be a focus to produce and release original productions through Fever Dreams. Kitty is a major focus in 2013 with atleast one title per month and the Kitty site getting more content. We have focused once again on acquiring new titles and release them on DVD and through New Media as BD sales are just not there. SO AW and TS will have many announcements. I believe this covers most of the bigger emails. If there are certain titles or issues you want addressed, please post on FB and we will try to answer them. Thanks for the support and we will continue to announce new titles in 2013! -John Sirabella
