Is Bandai falling through?

[karimatincan.livejournal.com]

I've kept up with buying all of the Code Geass DVDs as they were released in America, but the R2 DVDs are seriously lacking.

I miss the sound dramas, CDs, and awesome booklets that came with the Limited Edition copies. Where have they gone?

They even dropped the picture dramas entirely!

Not to mention they delete all R2 picture dramas that happen to be subtitled because it goes against copyright law. If they don't even distribute the picture dramas, why should they have power when it comes to them?

Sure the extra flash specials happen to be included, but they're so basic that it might take up to an hour for them to subtitle 3 or 4 episodes.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on??

My assumption is that there simply wasn't enough people buying the R1 LE sets to justify continuing the pattern, and/or that those who were buying the sets weren't willing to pay enough for them. In other words, it turned out to be wiser financially not to offer the shiny, shiny extras.

Unfortunately, that is probably right.

The Code Geass fanbase isn't that strong in the U.S. from what I've seen at Anime conventions.

It's sad though that they got a lot of our hopes up.
