Cool but I'm not going to get my hopes up. But saying that given its already been released there is little work to be done so we should actually see this come out, maybe....

Someone actually licensed Super Robot Wars in an affordable release? YES!

That company is on deaths door? Its Turn A Gundam all over again isnt it.

As for the series itself. I really liked Divine Wars because it had great music, plus Breakout and Rising Force are two of Jam Project's best songs.

Glad these two got rescued. I was personally hoping Discotek would grab them because of their rescue of Diebuster but I don't mind Media Blasters getting them so if they do get released, I'll buy them both.

Now to really hope someone gets The Inspector in the future.

Well people actually bought the BVUSA singles so there's a chance they'll sell decently with those who missed out on them the first time or those who wouldn't pay BV's high prices at the time.

I'd really love for them to dub these releases, though the timing of the releases & the now-infamous "still haven't paid for Bakuman's dub" issue stack the odds against a dub Sad

+1 to the songs. They are some of JAM Project's best.

That's nice....but where's my f-ing Squid Girl Season 2? Clear what's already on your plate before you go for something else.

What other US anime-licensing company does that, gets all their licensed titles out before licensing/distributing others?

I can hope that they've delayed Squid Girl in order to research what actual puns and wordplay are in order to incorporate them into the dub of the 2nd part. You know what, I think that I will

Very Happy

Totally agree, hell yes, SRW at reasonable price, FINALLY, will totally buy this! (So would have bought Turn A Gundam...)

Please make it out!

This. Man, would be awesome if they could dub it.

Agree with both of you on JAM Project and these awesome songs.

As always, let me state my surprise that Media Blasters is still wiggling around after that whole bit where they weren't even a company anymore.

As for licensing Super Robot Wars? Boss! I'm surprise they'd move in for it, though. Considering Media Blaster's nudie-stuff is normally what sells the best (see: Queen's Blade), I can only wonder what inspired them to pick these shows up. Still, good on 'em. It's not like we're seeing Super Robot anime elsewhere.

I can't wait for these to be delayed several times before their eventual indefinite cancellation.

That joke doesn't really work, since MB did get NY state to acknowledge them as a company again not too long after that story came out.

Yeah, because fellow license rescue Jubei-chan was delayed several times & then got indefinitely canceled... Oh, wait, Jubei-chan came out with no problems whatsoever.

I know it's a common joke to make in regards to MB, but it's sad that few people actually acknowledge when they get something out with little to no problems. But, hey, everyone's a critic, right?
