The anime distributor Bandai Entertainment will undergo a restructuring next month that will lay off three of its five fulltime staff and refocus its priorities on licensing merchandising, digital distribution and broadcast rights to other companies. Though the company will also continue to produce and distribute its existing properties, all new releases have been cancelled.
In particular, planned DVD releases for Gosick, Nichijou and Turn A Gundam have been cancelled. Bandai will also not go forward with publishing assorted manga titles such as Code Geass: Renya of the Darkness, volume 7 of Gurren Lagann, volumes 4-6 of Kannagi, Lucky Star Boo Boo Kagaboo, Mobile Suit Gundam 00I, and Tales of the Abyss: Jade's Secret Memories.
