The last time "Kirby of the Stars" was available in Japan only, it was via the Everyone's Theater Channel for the Wii. But, by the beginning of the new year 2011, ALL of the episodes suddenly went out of print.

There also hasn't been ANY DVDs, news from ANN, and especially no airings on TV since at least 1-2 years ago. And now, because of all this, there will be NO MORE releases of this anime, maybe forever.

Sure, Kirby's 20th anniversary is coming up, but that doesn't mean we're going to see more of the anime. I have heard of a rumor that the original creators (not 4Kids, of course) may not own the rights anymore, causing permanent "no longer availability" worldwide, which is an extremely rare thing to happen.

Now the question is, how did all this happen, and how can we revive the anime?
