Quote:If you're referring to the time between announcing a license and putting out volume 1, you have no idea how long other companies are actually taking. Just because they announce it and then release it 6 months later doesn't mean that they haven't had the license for 9 months or longer. ADV might just be better at announcing acquisitions right away to let you know that a title will be coming out here.
In my opinion, it would be a difficult feat to release a title within a short period of time after the license is announced -- once after they get the license, they need time to produce subtitles, English dubbing, English credits, DVD content, marketing, packaging, etc. I say one year between licensing and Volume 1 is a reasonable amount of time -- maybe 18 months, depending on how elaborate they want it and how many episodes they want out at once.
