Is that official?
What do you think about it? |
What I know is:
From the Anime on DVD Region 1 (North America) DVD News & Views Forum ("R1 Forum") thread: "Kitty Media Legend of the Pervert (Chikan Monogatari) Censored/Edited (Confirmed)":

Pink Pineapple is on hold...as per their own statements. |
I asked for clarification (what statements?), but did not receive any from Mr. Sirabella (who is the head of Media Blasters, and therefore Kitty Media).
In the AoD R1 Forum thread "JapanAnime New Title Solicitations":

From what I've gathered, PP is uninterested in licensing at the time and is focusing just on the Japanese market. I suspect that they're feeling burned after the last few years with how things have gone in their licensing side. Complications with reverse importing are also cited in the few "whispers" I've seen by industry folks. |
Mr. Beveridge is the owner of Anime on DVD.
This is particularly unfortunate as PinPai seems to be
hellbent on reissuing their entire
back catalog on DVD (the "gold disc" series, for instance), including those works which have not seen the light of day since they were released on laserdisc and VHS (e.g.,
Tenkousei). (Note that the PinPai site's catalog is incomplete, as it only includes DVD releases.)
