If Bandai goes dark does this mean that Turn A Gundam won't see the light in North America?

@avicenna799 Yes, the Turn-A release was canceled, sadly.

However, Ken Iyadomi (a producer at Bandai) said that they want to work with other companies to release their products. And Bandai will still be able to license works to other companies, so hopefully Funimation or someone will release it.

So, before I get TOO many comments on this: This video was a first test of an improv format for the news. I did zero prep beforehand. So, yes, there are a LOT of "ums" and "ahs" on this one, and it progresses awkwardly. I've learned. I'll get better. :-)
