NEWS: Future DVD Volumes of MÄR Anime Reportedly Delisted

Also remember Bleach had to go on hiatus at episode 50 as well, supposedly so they could catch up with the dub.

Fansubs, bootlegs and free fan distribution of licensed series are nothing to celebrate. They, in fact, have a huge hand in CREATING situations like these where licensees can't afford to lose money on a series that isn't a megahit these days.

I've had to put up with this before with Bo-BoBo Bo-BoBoBo (One of my favorite series.)

It's kind of hard to do VA work for a series like Bleach, and another anime at the same time, so I'm assuming he took time off to dub and get CG out of the way, then he'll return to work on Bleach, so we may get more eps around the same time as CG starts, if not earlier.

This could be partially due to the fact that the main character in Bleach, Ichigo, is voiced by JYB, who is doing the voice of Lelouch in Code Geass, which is set to start airing on AS in the spring (April, I believe). It's kind of hard to do VA work for a series like Bleach, and another anime at the same time, so I'm assuming he took time off to dub and get CG out of the way, then he'll return to work on Bleach, so we may get more eps around the same time as CG starts, if not earlier.

If people can watch it for free on Jetstream, why would they buy it? If that argument applies to fansubs, it should apply in this case also.

Mar was great - glad I saw it all by fansubs. This is why I still say fansubs serves a purpose. And now I have yet again another series in my collection that has not been finished by the US companies. This is one of the few that I actually bought the volumes rather than waiting for the box set / thinpack to come out. I am tired of this nonsense of not releasing the full series. I refuse to buy non full series anymore. It's a waste of my money.

However if people aren't buying the singular DVDs then things like this happen... so saying "I refuse to buy non full series anymore" really doesn't help the situation.

That's not how it works at all. Voice actors have no problem doing several projects at once, & in fact they welcome it. Not to mention that even if your theory was correct, Bleach & Code Geass are licensed by two different companies, so neither one cares what the other one is doing. Plus I seriously doubt that voice over work for Geass has even started yet, or if it has it hasn't gotten very far. Production on Bleach, on the otherhand, is pretty much nonstop. Just because we stopped getting new episodes doesn't mean they stopped working on it. Adult Swim just needed to slow down so production could catch up again. Also, Bleach is scheduled to start airing again way before Geass will. But with Geass probably starting to air on AS around July & Bleach likely to go another 52 eps before taking another break, the two shows will probably run new episodes at the same time anyway.

Hm... I didn't say that production on Bleach had stopped. Simply that one of the voice actors was spamming work on another series to get it out of the way, then returned to continue work on Bleach. This is not improbable, and I'd appreciate you not attacking me for stating a completely plausible theory. And in line with my theory, the reason that Bleach will start "airing again way before Geass will", is because all the other Bleach VAs were still recording their lines, while CG has a whole new cast, who have to record all their lines before the show can start airing. And I know that VAs like to work on more series than one at a time. It means more money for them. But they can't record in two different places at the same time, and when two companies are using the same VA for two different shows, I'm sorry, but they will care what the other's doing, because they will both have to schedule time when that VA can come in and record, working around both his real life job, and his other VA work. And if you recall, I did state that we'd most likely get Bleach before CG, which apparently, I was correct. Thank you very much.
