Elsewhere in the Anime Industry…
A couple of quick things going on–
1. I didn’t get a chance to mention this yesterday but long after the ADV panel, I heard from a friend that they said that ADV Manga will probably not license anything for the next twelve months. My response: doesn’t matter, as long as they get out Yotsuba&! 6, which they’ve already got the license for.
2. dot-anime announced today that it’s discontinuing its points program, no doubt in anticipation of being merged with Anime Village. So if you have points, use them by July 31st! Here’s the full text of the e-mail I got:
Dear Georgia,
Dear dot-anime customers,
dot-anime regretfully announces the discontinuation of the Dot-Anime Points program effective August 1, 2008.
We urge our customers to use all of their unredeemed points by July 31, 2008. After July 31, 2008 all unredeemed points shall be forfeited and no point claims shall be honored thereafter. Please note, points are not redeemable for cash. Please see the program rules for complete details at http://www.dot-anime.us.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and ask for our customer’s understanding and cooperation.
Sincerely,
