Autumn is shaping up with lots of new Anime goodness! I figured the studios would wait and position some of their best new releases in the 4th quarter (which we are all assuming will be much better than the dismal Q4 everyone had last year). It's very good to see ADV back off from so many in house re-releases to pave the way for three new shows - and good ones at that. Good work guys! :-) Funi's schedule has been streamlined a bit with fewer solicitations, however, that is because Funi is doing more 'reprices in place' rather than immediately try to rework every single price change into a Veridian box that is three months away, and their Oct schedule includes the first half of Blassreiter and three important new boxed set releases for Claymore, Shonen Onmyoji, and Story of Saiunkoku - so again, good work. Media Blasters will have lots of new material as well in more episodes of Ah My Buddha, Moribito, and the second season of Genshiken 2. Even Viz is stepping up with a 4th Bleach box, Nana, and lots of Naruto: Shippuden. I'm very happy to see this, as the October release schedules together are showing us more new material than we've gotten in maybe a year. November should be even better. :-)
