Re #XamdPart2 Blu-ray. This was the last new anime series release we had scheduled for #Bluray this year that isn't a successful on-going anime series like Bleach or Naruto. As u saw with #FMAbrotherhood, even hit shows are hard to sustain on BR in the UK market. We r going to be much more careful about which new shows we pick up for BR next year. A good rule of thumb will be how many copies of BR r sold in the US. We generally achieve 10-15% of the US Videoscan sales on any release. So, I'd need Series A to sell at least 5,000 units Month 1 in the US in order to justify a UK release (That's 500 copies Month 1 UK). We'll figure it out. I'd like to personally apologise again to those #XAMD fans we have disappointed with this decision. Sorry!
