<a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-02-04/shogakukans-masakazu-kubo-offers-proposal-on-fansubs">It would appear even the Japanese industries are starting to consider hiring fansubbers to do professional work as a viable possibility for addressing the digital issues.</a>

I would predict that Blu-Ray has heavy market penetration within the next 5 years.

I think its probably more that a lot of ADVs recent licenses, and upcoming anime titles are slated for bluray release in japan. Also there are plenty of PS3 owners, which is another BluRay player. Who knows, maybe they plan to try and grab money with the Utaware BluRay. Anyways, I don't think the declaration means much other than they've chosen the format that is the obvious best choice between the two for them. That and they can charge more for BluRay releases than DVD.

Looks like ADV has decided to go Blu-Ray: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...ition-releases
Now everyone can watch upscales of old shows.

Well, if ADV isn't going to take risks on these types of anime then I'm not sure who else would with the state the anime industry is in. I guess Funimation maybe? Or maybe we'll get a subbed only released the companies that, um, only do subs mostly now (I forget their name).

Sorry, I haven't been following anime for the last 2 months so I didn't get the joke. But I just looked it up on youtube and...wow.

Officially, ADV says they're doing fine and will continue to release all their titles, despite current "challenges".
|
To clarify, ADV says that their intention is to continue with upcoming releases (hence the execs are working around the clock to deal with the mess). However, what actually happens is still up in the air.

26% off, comes with Japanese and English audio as well as English subs.
So this is probably around twice what you would pay for a full Utaware R1 set.

This is retarded. There must be some internal politics or contract dispute going on.
I saw 5cm/sec on Anime Network on Demand last week (to my surprise), and I thought the dub was very well done. Kanon is up to episode 6. If they could show their stuff on ANoD one month in advance before the R1 release, what are they waiting for?
