Do Manga Entertainment really still have the license for Violence Jack or has it expired?

The ANN entries lists it as licensed but it's never seen a dvd release in the US and the old UK dub only release is long out of print.

It's only three years since Manga UK last released it on DVD so it wouldn't surprise me if they still have the rights. Not sure about its US status though.

I agree with Yubnk0079, they used to also list it on their insert cards for their old dvd releases.

I think it's very likely to have expired. I've tried to get a confirmation from Manga but they don't respond to their emails.
