Hey anime fans! We love getting your input Have you attended any anime conventions between 2014-2015? Which con? What’d you enjoy there? We’d love to hear about it! We’d really appreciate it if you can take a moment to fill out this survey for us. Thank you guys!!:

Recently many Aniplex titles have been expiring for whatever reason (Aniplex charging too much, not allowing anyone to license/rescue titles, series didn’t sell well enough to justify a renewal, etc.), so I decided to list the status of every title that is handled by Aniplex internationally, whether it be in-print, OOP, or simply never licensed. Feel free to point out anything missing or any errors. (???) means I’m not sure if it was handled internationally by Aniplex. Ex: Zakuro is OOP, but Crunchyroll got streaming rights from ADK, not Aniplex, though NISA may have had to go to Aniplex to get home video rights. I’ve also provided a streaming list at the very bottom, as well as alternative English-friendly options (Note: some options require getting a region-free/different region Blu-ray player. Note: Japan shares the same region as NA, A, and JP anime BD’s rarely have region-coding on them) for OOP titles in the OOP list. Lastly, each of the links for a title takes you to the ANN encyclopedia entry where you can see all the various releases for a title, like so.

After closing out fiscals years on March 31st, anime company business reported their results last week
So AoA is another business that is formally ignoring regular fans that want physical media and don’t want to be super collectors. Frankly I still think they will eventually fail in the North American market, I wish them “interesting times” before they get to that point.

I don’t see where they’re getting their metrics for what is worth dubbing from as Funi dubs most all of their stuff and they’re still in business.
Last time I had an Aniplex BD in my bluray drive I don’t recall it being a fully-filled BD-50 disc so their low episode count for video quality excuse rings false for me.
The low episode count is strictly a money making thing, has little to nothing to do with quality in my opinion.
