It sucks that they went under, but I can't say I'm surprised. Their business model just didn't work for the US market, especially during this down economy. Even though I love a lot of their stuff, I have no interest in paying $20-30 for 4 episodes. Give me reasonably priced, say $40-50 full seasons, or ad-supported streams. We are at a crossroads in the media industry in general, it's just hit anime first. If I remember correctly, I think I read that Bandai Japan was actually charging Bandai US to license their stuff. Really, the way that company is run seems so backwards.
Sorry to all those who lost their jobs. Also, sorry to all the fans of the stuff that's no longer going to make it out here. Personally, I'm really sad that we still aren't going to see Turn A in the US. Hope everything works itself out.
