Media Blasters Delays More Titles

It's only been three weeks since their last big delay announcement, and today Media Blasters let us know they they will be delaying the release dates of another batch of Anime titles, a few for the second time.

Here are the date pushes that will directly impact us:

Queen's Blade: Wandering Warrior, Vol #2, The Beaten Path DVD (Eps #5-8) - From Sep 7 to Oct 26

Kanokon: The Girl Who Cried Wolf, Vol #2, Wolf in No Clothing DVD (Eps #5-8) - From Aug 31 to TBA
Kanokon: The Girl Who Cried Wolf, Vol #3 DVD (Eps #9-12) - From Oct 26 to TBA

Queen's Blade: The Exiled Virgin, Vol #3, Journey's End DVD (Eps #9-12) - From Oct 26 to TBA
Queen's Blade Complete Collection DVD Boxed Set (Eps #1-12) - From Oct 26 to TBA
Queen's Blade Complete Collection DVD Boxed Set (Eps #1-12) (BLURAY) - From Oct 26 to TBA

Voltron: Fleet of Doom Movie (BLURAY) - From Sep 28 to TBA

Most of the pushed releases have been shoved off the release schedule and thus are now dated TBA until they can be rescheduled. At this point I don't want to speculate but most of these will probably not get back on the schedule before November or December of this year. MB's 'official' statement on the TBA's is 'removed from the schedule until further notice'.

They have also delayed a few Adult titles from their Kitty line including Fleshdance (9/7 to 10/5), Twin Dolls (9/28 to 10/26), Oh My Sex Goddess: Megachu (11/2 to 11/30), and Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend DVD and BD (10/15 to 11/16). None of these releases are currently up for pre-order on the RACS store site - and won't be until their schedule firms up a bit.

And yes, I know, it sucks. But anyone who is not expecting things like this in this market has clearly not been reading my weekly newsletter.
