Thanks for the information. It has been like searching for a needle in a haystack for me to find out information on the status of Kitty Media. For months, when you go to their site, it never loads.

Have you received an update on their status? I would still like to know if they are going to be releasing the previously active series.

Thanks for any information you can provide.

Is that the person you mentioned in your email? I emailed her and never heard back. Was wondering if she was one of the casualties.

Media Blasters is trying to have Crimson 3 out in time for Yaoi Con 2010. Sad to see their marketing guru apparently laid off. Dealt with her for many years.

Media Blasters primarily licenses Hentai and Special Interest stuff (niche genre titles). Not all their titles are anime, either. They only got into BL 5 or 6 years ago when CPM started doing it, and it was never the bulk of their business.
