 Chat: Charles McCarter, Bandai Entertainment
When asked if it was possible for Bandai to release their own publications as both Viz and TOKYOPOP do this as well, it was pointed out that both of those companies got their start as manga companies and then moved into anime.
Charles said that Bandai was currently in the process of "researching the viability" of SD Gundam in the USA.
I asked what prompted Bandai to pick up older shows like these up and he said that new anime tends to get snapped up quickly and there's a lot of older anime worth seeing.

Games under this new label will be identified as being easy to play, without needing a manual, fresh and original, and a mix of game, music and other genres.
The partner being Bandai makes it a little bittersweet too, as they were the first of Sega's failed merger attempts back in the mid 1990s.
It's also nice to see Bandai allying with a critically (though not commerically) successful designer to set up a boutique branch, shows they have some level of ambition in gaming beyond just pumping out licensed shovelware.

 Blog@Newsarama » Bandai declares war on fans.
Bandai Entertainment has announced that it will seek to quash fansubs of the upcoming Ghost in the Shell feature, for which it has the U.S. rights (along with Manga Entertainment)…
Those who ignore this just make it hard for the fansubbers who do follow “the rules.” Bandai is not declaring war on anime fans, just restating the rules fansubbers are supposed to follow in order for the companies to leave them alone.
I thought Bandai had already declared war on fans by flooding the market with shitty Gundam games.

It was merely one year ago that Pioneer was distributing both Viz and Bandai titles as well as its own, but as the anime market has continued to grow, both Viz and Bandai executives decided it makes more sense to handle distribution separately.
Bandai’s marketing manager, Jerry Chu, said the amicable split between the two anime giants is a good thing.

 Anime Dream Specials - E3 2001 Bandai Entertainment Interview
Besides Gundam, we're working closely with Bandai America to do the whole Anime Collector's toy line, which will include action figure toys for Cowboy Bebop, Pilot Candidate, which is also coming to Cartoon Network later this year.
Jerry mentioned that release formats were still being experimented with, and that each series would need to be looked at on a case by case basis to determine what kind of episode per volume count would best suit them.
However, the extremely solid sales of shows with higher episode counts, like Saber Marionette J and Outlaw Star, in contrast with the less healthy sales of a show like Blue Submarine No. 6 is a strong indicator that, baring further licensing issues, single ep per disc releases will be few and far between.
