ねぷは..自由だ!!!

I thought it was going to be in the hundreds or something, (like Bandai's firings also being the same amount), but 10 people isn't that bad compared to when normal companies let go of thousands.

And I can whole heatedly understand BD versions of Ika, since unlike most JP animes it's not really something that's aimed directly at a JP audience and is hilarious in general. (Where as Nichijou is just as good, but really more a japanese themed show)

but BD verison of Kite? Really? Not only was it a crappy OVA, it sucked as a porno. =/

I can't imagine the BD's being anything more than upscales...

Code: Kirin!

That's sad to hear. I like Media Blasters; they do good releases.

I will say that in my case, I stopped buying stuff simply because Japan stopped making the stuff I like. And it's the same for most of my friends. If I don't think something is worth downloading for free why would you think I would buy it. XD
