Release of "Naruto" Vol. 28 Delayed
Panini Video has announced on its blog that due to a broken DLT, the German audio track on Naruto Vol. 28 is not synchronized. The shipment has been halted, and the faulty stock has been recalled. All retailers have been informed. Because of the repressing, the release is expected to be postponed to June 5, 2009. As a result, Vol. 29 will also not be released until that date.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood as a Stream
Hardly had the second, highly anticipated season of Fullmetal Alchemist, Brotherhood, premiered on TV in Japan in early April when The Licensing Machine, a licensing company belonging to the Panini Group, announced the "European" online release of the BONES production, which is planned to run for 63 episodes.
Starting May 16, the first seven episodes will be available as a stream on <!--[bTAG]--><b>Panini's YouTube Channel</b><!--[/bTAG]-->, and from May 27 onward, a new episode will be uploaded almost simultaneously with the Japanese TV broadcast—all in DVD quality and with optional subtitles in 11 languages. However, since Panini does not hold the license for the German-speaking region, fans in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, among others, will be met with the message "This video is not available in your country." For the same reason, it remains uncertain whether Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood will be released on DVD by Panini Video in these countries.
