Sure, they’ve had a few hits like Voltron (the Lion series, not the vehicles — hardly anyone likes Vehicle Voltron) and Invader Zim but in general their titles go under the radar even though they still have a fair selection of very good series in addition to many sub-par harem shows.

I appreciated that they released retro anime like Tekkaman Blade and Beast King Go-Lion and snapped these up when I could afford them.

I also have gotten some of the horror titles from MB’s other label, Tokyo Shock.

I do hope they survive. We need quirky companies like this one to offer shows the other companies don’t seem to want to license.

I still want to get Dairugger and the Kanokan series in addition to a number of other shows.
