What about other anime sequels?
Where, oh where are... 3x3 Eyes, RG Veda, Arislan, Street Fighter?

For all you Pai fans, yes she's back and Manga Video plan to release 3x3 Eyes Parts III & IV in '96. No plans for RG Veda although there is a sequel released in the US. Arislan III is due in Sept '95 and as for SF.....

And why don't you release.... Ranma 1/2, Porco Rosso, Totoro, Dirty Pair, DBZ.......... the list could go on and on. There's a lot of great anime around and sure we'd love to bring it to you, but it's just not always possible. There's a variety of reasons and the bottom line is that the decision to obtain the rights to any particular anime (or manga come to that) is a commercial one. If it's not a commercially viable project (ie the conditions attached and/or cost are prohibitive) there's no point in doing it despite the obvious popularity of anime like Ranma or Dragon Ball. That's not to say that as you read this there aren't delicate negotiations going on right now to secure the rights to release the best anime around. But until a deal is signed on the dotted line we have to keep stumm! OKAY.
