Ah, so that would put it in the same month as Lucky Star OVA and Sola. Assuming they don't get delayed as well.

Hayate the Combat Butler Part 2 $ 39.98 9/1/09

Ah, so the releases will be six weeks apart then. That gives me an idea of how long to wait for that to happen.

Oh jeeze, more delays? Small ones, but it's becoming too common with them.

Well, I need to order a bunch of these in the TRSI sale (doh, I'd forgotten, I need to do that now). Of the new ones, definitely Hayate and Gundam. This also seems to confirm what was going around about Esca movie BD.

Definitely hoping it stays that way. That'll heal some of the pain of it not being cour sets.

Ah, too bad about Gundam, I was hoping Bandai would be nice and let us have two releases practically only two weeks apart, but I guess they chose not to overlook that odd scheduling. At least Code Geass hasn't been delayed too much.

As long as these delays aren't cancellations, I'm fine with it. Just wish they'd eventually end this pattern, I would think Bandai would have fixed up most of their major replicator issues by now, but at least they're fixing them before releasing them. Oh well, at least they're not as long a wait as Media Blasters.

Will someone please explain to me why this is Subbed Only?

Probably for the same reason as most subbed only series. The company releasing it concluded they could not justify the cost of dubbing it and decided they were better off releasing it subbed only.

It looks like Bandai doesn't see it as a profitable investment to dub. They failed to get the TV deal they wanted and it looks like their sales estimation for the series dropped.

[Betenoire]

Well, it's a day of the week that ends in the letter "Y," the sky is still up and water is still wet so Bandai's news release must have delays.

For some reason I picture who ever is doing the street dates as the character Blinkin from Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Someone asks him "What are you doing up there" Blinkin "Guessing. I guess that's when it's coming out." If this image didn't make me laugh I'd have to face that I don't have faith in the company and would cancel the order I placed today of their product.
