Chat: Charles McCarter, Bandai Entertainment (1725 words)
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.
