First
delayed, and now cancelled... That's just great! Surely, one
cancellation story wasn't enough for today. But anyway,
Gia scribbled a death note from the ongoing New York Anime Festival 2008, to let us know that Bandai Entertainment has officially dropped both
Sola and
True Tears, after having licensed them for North America at the beginning of this year.
Cancellations make lolis sad. And
pandas, too.
Update: ANN has an update on this issue, clearing things up a bit. As it stands now, Bandai only cancelled the
English-language release of Sola and True Tears, but will still release them as single-DVD boxes with Japanese audio and English subtitles. No idea when, though, and still no word on
Shigofumi's status.
"The sola anime will ship with all 13 television episodes and two video episodes with Japanese dialogue and English subtitles for US$44.98. The entire true tears series will ship with Japanese dialogue and English subtitles for US$39.98."
