Good night, sweet prince.

This'll leave only two remaining juggernauts in the industry. Viz and Funi.

Fixed, seriously. Bandai still has occasional DVD glitch issues and make solicitations that keep on getting pushed back.

Even with the quality control issues Bandai-Ent is having, I still see them more successful than Viz. You won't see much variety of genres from Viz since all they stick to is the shounen and shoujo stuff. Plus they're more manga than anime. Bandai-Ent on the other hand, picked up 3 of the hottest mecha titles which is Code Geass, Gundam 00, and Gurren Lagann that all aired on TV. So there's no way I can see Bandai-Ent can be beaten by Viz.

Viz is only good for manga and live action, IMO. And knuckle-headed ninjas. Viz has like 3 popular shows and thats about it.

Yeah, but their shows are REALLY popular.

If I understood the article correctly, thats not possible, since an entirely different company (not the new ones that stemed from adv), the one that had owned 20% of ADV that started this whole mess, now owns the name ADV Films.

I can't say that I loved ADV, but its always sad to see competition leaving the scene, more competition is better for us the consumer. Hopefully anime corporations will start looking into alternate methods of distribution, such as online (cronchyroll anyone?) instead of refusing to change with the times.
I know I would be all over HD downloadable content as long as its HQ, softsubs, and dual audio. I would buy alot more than I do now. (unless the prices were just ridiculous)

I think ADV is the only company whose dubs I actually like, I've never been fond of Funi or any of the others. I hope they can still continue to work under a new name as others have suggested.

Back in my day, we paid 200$ for boxed sets and didn't complain a damn word about it!

At least it's not $380 for a R2 DVD box set.
