I had to share two videos that were sent to me by a fan.  They were just so well done I couldn’t resist.  In one, Minmei, Lisa Hayes and Rick have my school time crush Davy singing in the background.  The other is a photo montage of Minmei and Marlene.  How totally cool!

Rebecca Forstadt – Best of The Guests for 2011

– JANUARY 9, 2012POSTED IN: CONTESTS

Last month, we asked you, the audience, to help us pick the “Best of the Guests” for 2011. 2011 for the Dennis Daniel Show saw many unique characters, high flying superstars, and Dennis in several unpredictable moments with some of animé’s biggest stars. We are happy to announce that in a very close race, the Best of the Guests for 2011 is…REBECCA FORSTADT!

Rebecca Forstadt, who was on the January 14th edition of “The Dennis Daniel Show”, is best known as the voice of Lynn Minmay from the classic Robotech series. She’s also known as Suiseiseki from “Rozen Maiden”, Rika from “When They Cry”, and Ms. Giggles in “The Mr. Men Show!” Rebecca brought over three decades of performance and experience to her interview in January, and we are proud to announce her as “Best of the Guests!”

Of course, this was a VERY close race, so we must also acknowledge the second and third runners up. Coming in second is none other than Veronica Taylor, best known as Ash Ketchum from the original Pokémon, and in third, none other than Karen Strassman, the voice of Kallen Stadtfeld from “Code Geass”, and Soi Fong and Momo from “Bleach”

Congratulations to ALL three girls for being the very best of 2011 for the Dennis Daniel Show. We also would like to congratulate Jolene Luna, who is the winner of our “Best of the Guests” contest and will receive Season One, Part One of “One Piece” on DVD.

Leave it to Facebook to get info on the state of the anime industry.  Apparently Bandai is throwing in the towel on it’s anime products.

My friend and colleague Voice Actor Steve Blum wrote in Facebook:

Steve BlumI’m going to address this once and move on. Sad that I even need to. Piracy does affect the business – in all areas of entertainment. Those of you who so vehemently dispute this fact are obviously breaking federal law and intending to continue this trend with no regard for the damage you cause real people – some who have sacrificed everything to produce the products you steal. I wish you the best of luck building a career based on entitlement. Please allow us to pay our respects to a company that was one of the primary building blocks for the anime industry in America. Thank you, Bandai, for one helluva ride. Bang.

Bandai Entertainment Shutters Its Anime Operation, Scraps New Titles

By Max Eddy

http://www.geekosystem.com/bandai-entertainment-anime/

Bandai Entertainment has announced that it will no longer publish new manga, DVD, or Blu-ray titles as of February 2012. The company will be restructuring, taking its dedicated staff down from five to three, and will entirely change focus. Instead of new releases, the Bandai Entertainment will shift over solely to merchandising, broadcast licensing, and digital distribution.

 

The move is not too surprising considering that the company closed its online store in late December. Though they company will continue to distribute its existing titles, it’s unclear whether or not it will keep those existing titles in print. Given the company’s new focus, it doesn’t seem likely.

That said, this could be a smart move for the company.Platform Nation points out that Bandai Entertainment has struggled in the face of competition from Viz publications and FUNimation. These moves would place Bandai Entertainment in a position where they could still make money — arguably much more money than before — without the overhead involved with producing a physical product. Though perhaps that is looking for a silver lining in the midst of a shutdown.

The following titles have been canceled, according to the Anime News Network:

Anime DVD/Blu-Ray

  • Gosick
  • Nichijō
  • Turn A Gundam

Manga

  • Code Geass: Renya (Code Geass: Shikkoku no Renya)
  • Gurren Lagann volume 7
  • Kannagi volumes 4-6
  • Lucky Star Boo Boo Kagaboo (spinoff by Eretto)
  • Mobile Suit Gundam 00I
  • Tales of the Abyss: Jade’s Secret Memories volumes 1 and 2

Here are the titles currently slated for 2012, according Toon Zone:

  • Star Driver Part 2 will be released on 1/17/12 on DVD ($39.98) and Blu-Ray ($49.98). Running time 300 minutes, with English subtitles

  • The Girl Who Leapt Through Space Volume 4 will be released on 1/17/12 for $29.98. Running time 150 minutes, with English subtitles

This affects Code Geass, which I have a major part in.  Bummer.  What do you think should be done about this?

I seem to have fans all over the world with a large number in South America.  One of my fans, Matias, sent me a video he made singing To Be In Love, from Robotech.  He did such a great job I wanted to post it.

918thefanWell, I’ve been really busy doing my entrepreneurial thing.  But last week, I was invited to do an interview via skype for 91.8 The Fan.   If you haven’t stopped by their website yet, you definitely should.  It was lots of fun.  I can’t wait to hear the finished audio. We talked for about 1/2 hour about my illustrious career.  One of the things that I mentioned is that there is a tab at the top of this site for anyone who has a question for me.  Click HERE. All you have to do is type it your question in.  I will respond as soon as possible.

What do you most want to know about?  I’d love to know.  Then I can write posts to answer your questions as well.
