The release of Someday’s Dreamers DVD volume 1 has been delayed from November 11th until November 25th.

The domestic Mahoromatic: Something More Beautiful soundtrack CD scheduled for release today has been recalled due to an undisclosed manufacturing error. The CD will now be released on November 4th.

Geneon has canceled its solicitation for the first Big O II DVD. Bandai still lists the DVD as scheduled for release on January 21st, possibly signifying that Geneon has only canceled its distribution of the title, not meaning that the release itself has been canceled.
