Media Blasters License Updates

Media Blasters has formally confirmed that it will not release any further Bakuman anime domestically, “due to sales,” after releasing the series’ first 7 episodes on domestic DVD last year. Media Blasters furthermore stated that the series may be re-licensed for American distribution by Viz. Media Blasters has also announced that the odds of it actually releasing the Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei anime that it confirmed acquisition of in February 2010 are now “50/50.”

Considering Viz Media’s distribution restrictions due to its affiliation with Warner Bros., if Bakuman sold too poorly for Media Blasters, Viz won’t touch it.
