They survive on low budget titles and just well titles that they get for really cheap.

This is one of the worst things that I have ever watched.

Still for those who can enjoy D-grade ecchi camp that spoofs Ultraman, then it'd be good for ya.

I can only imagine that they got this for really really cheap.

Oh well, they could still make out with this being a sub-only release and it does seem like an ecchi title.

I'm pretty sure I have never heard of this title until now. Sounds like it might have some "so bad it's good" potential?

it's an echi show with minor yuri, so it has a market; especially with giantess and tight clothing fetishists.

Wow, did they just take the money into the bathroom and flush it down the toilet?

Maybe Japan is paying them to release this? Razz

(I've watched it, it was terribly dull.)

I don't think they are actually still in business

I am still waiting for them to ship me my copy of Super Robot Wars Divine Wars and OAV. As far as I can tell, Media Blasters forgot they licensed it, forgot they scheduled it with a box art, and just kind of said they should start working on it a month after the ship date had already passed.

Even as ecchi, this show is downright awful. Really, MB, you can't scrape up the dough for Kiss x Sis?

Just scrolling through ANN, half-reading the headlines, seeing if anything is of interest, when 'Hey, look, some show I've never heard of got licensed...(spit take) what, what? Media Blasters is still around? I thought for sure they were dead.'

Well, I guess there are fates worse than death, if this is what they are reduced to...

Is Media Blasters just surviving on old ecchi/fanservice shows now?

All they've licensed recently is stuff that feels like leftovers that Sentai passed on. The shows they've licensed so far this year(Juden-chan, Rio, Ladies vs. Butlers) just seem like shows that Funimation or Sentai didn't want. Makes me wonder if they're still around in a couple years, that we'll see news of them releasing OniAi(since Funi passed on DVD/BR rights and doubt Sentai will grab it).

BTW, what happened to their interest in yaoi shows? They seemed kinda interested in licensing some shows back in the spring.

I'm pretty certain Sentai would have picked up Juuden and LVB if they were as active back in 2009 and 2010. They pick up nearly all they can these days with little regard for what's good or bad, ecchi or mundane.
