Bandai license two series & launch controversial rel. sched.	Wed, 6 Feb 2008
Bandai Visual USA have licensed two new anime series; the supernatural drama "Shigofumi" (12 episodes) and harem romance "True Tears" (13 episodes). Given these are relatively short series (compared with the more conventional 26 episode format), Bandai's expensive release schedule has met with controversy and complaints. The first volume of True Tears will contain only 1 episode, while the next six voumes will contain two episodes each, with the exception of the last volume of Shigofumi, which will only contain 1 episode. Neither series will be dubbed into English. Both Shigofumi and True Tears are airing on Japanese TV as of this news post and the eventual US DVD releases will begin as soon as May '08; only two months after the Japanese DVD release begins.
