Bandai Announces March & April 2011 Releases - Including K-On!

    Bandai has given us their March and April 2011 release schedules, and we now have them available on the store site for pre-order.

    Here's what's coming:

    Kurokami Part #6 DVD (BLURAY) (Eps #21-24) (English Dubbed) - Mar 22
    Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya & Nyoron! Churuya-san! Part 1 DVD - Mar 22
    The Girl Who leapt Through Time (BLURAY) - Apr 12
    Girl Who Leapt Through Space Part #1 DVD - Apr 26
    K-On! Vol #1 DVD - Apr 26
    K-On! Vol #1 (BLURAY)
    - Apr 26

    In addition to these new releases, they have also rescheduled the upcoming Code Geass box back to March:

    Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, Complete Collection DVD Boxed Set (Anime Legends) - Feb 8 to Mar 22

    A couple of comments: With the rescheduling of the Code Geass box, Bandai will have no new releases streeting for the next 2 months. The Girl Who Lept Through Time seems a strange choice for their next BD release, but we will finally be getting the Girl Who Lept Through Space, though only on DVD, and sadly, only subtitled. The Haruhi-chan & Nyoron Churuya-san! DVD's were originally going to be another one of those Bandai Store exclusives, but I suppose they found out they could not sell anywhere near enough copies just on their own store, so they are putting it out on the street to let us carry it. We'll be offering it for a lower price than them - you know, just to say thanks for their consideration. -_^

    But really, who cares about all that, because we are FINALLY GETTING K-ON! We'll be offering each DVD and BD at 40% off MSRP*. That means we will barely be making any money on it, but I figure that's the best way we can help get the series into as many fans hands as possible!

    UPDATE: Just FYI, I'm checking with Bandai on the 66 Minute thing. It's really hard to believe they would go with a 2 ep per disk release. I'll verify one way or the other on Monday when they get back in the office.

    UPDATE 2: The folks at Bandai have just confirmed that the original playing time for K-On Vol #1 is a typo at 66 minutes. Vol #1 WILL BE 100 MINUTES, and contain eps #1-4 of the series. BD Will be Region 'A' encoded according to the producer.

    *Not Eligible for Additional or Coupon Discounts



    I figure most of you have probably already seen the actual OP by now anyway. ;-)
