Hi everyone, this is my first post here! I've gone back and forth on whether to post this suggestion or not and have finally decided to do it because Shout won't know our suggestions unless we speak up. The series I want to suggest Shout pick up for Western distribution is "Game Center CX". Here is the Wikipedia page explaining the series, which does a far better job of it than I ever could.

This show has a VERY loyal fanbase here in the US and this is a very rare case of where the producers in Japan, Fuji TV, very much want to and have been desperately trying to find a US distributor for the entire series. They have everything subbed, they just need a US publisher willing to release it over here. So, it wouldn't be some awkward situation where Shout has to approach these producers about it since they want and are eager to find a US publisher. I have personally seen some episodes and I think it would be a good release for Shout to consider since you guys seem to concentrate on and are much more willing to release lesser known shows or ones that other publishers would label a risk. Mr. Ward, I promise you the fanbase for this series exists here in the US! If you agree to publish this series here in the US, I assure you it will be worth your while and do very well especially with video game fans like myself. There are two ways you could go about releasing this series in the US:
1. Do traditional season sets...I understand this might be more risky from a sales standpoint but it's an option
2. Release a Complete Series Boxset for those of us who are truly willing to buy it. This way, myself and everyone who wants this series would be more than willing to buy it and also this way works because you'd be putting this out in one hit...get it out there and let the fans buy it! I'll gladly pay for a Complete Series boxset! I'm sure many others will too!
If Shout has already been approached by the producers and has declined...well I respect that but in that case I would ask Shout to re-consider and look at the feasibility of doing a complete series boxset. If you haven't approached them PLEASE do, they premiered a few English subbed episodes in New York a while back at a film fest and it was well recieved. This release would mean a lot to myself and many others! It's worth the gamble Mr. Ward please consider it! |
