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??

It's more like, "Is the U.S. anime industry falling through?" The economy's not been nice to businesses, and anime companies are no exception to that. The extras on CG were probably not profitable enough on the first season to support doing them again on the second.

... Which is too bad all around, because the lack of picture dramas in any form (just subbed would be OK with me) means that I for one am waiting on buying R2 until I can get it for really cheap, whereas I bought the S1 LE sets relatively soon after they were released.
