Yup, it’s official: the DVD distribution with the magazines has been delayed for exactly a month.
OVA Delayed to End of July
To be precise, the DVDs will be distributed with the September issues of said magazines. The official release dates are now as follows:
- Monthly Hobby JAPAN (September issue) – 24 July 2010
- Megami Magazine (September issue) – 30 July 2010
- Animedia (September issue) – 10 August 2010
If I had to guess, CHAN×CO was involved, too.
To make up for the delay, merchandise will be bundled with the August issues of the magazines (in place of the DVD). They’re as follows:
- Monthly Hobby JAPAN (August issue) – B★RS character charms (pictured above)
- Megami Magazine (August issue) – Drawn pinup by huke
- Animedia (August issue) – B★RS Weiß Schwarz PR Card
There’s no reason stated for the delay, though I think Ordet just ran into a serious snag. Or maybe some of them caught a cold or something. (; >_>)
The way I see it though, we’ll probably see one of 2 end-results:
- The anime comes out really polished and stellar, gets voted anime of the year, etc.
- We get to see some QUALITY (in non-internet-meme terms, that means it’ll suck).
While I really hope the former happens, I’m more inclined to believe the latter will happen, since I’m such a pessimist. Prove me wrong, Ordet, and I will proudly kowtow to your awesome-ness.
OVA Premiere Details Released
Also, details of an early premiere of the OVA have been announced, too. The details (though still tentative) are as follows:
- Date & Time: 7 July 2010, 7 PM
- Venue: UDX Akihabara Theater
While this is the only chance of watching the OVA before the DVD gets distributed, don’t go celebrating just yet. Only 150 lucky readers of the three magazines will be selected in a lucky draw, and I’m assuming the draw applies to Japanese citizens only.
More information will be released in the July issues of the three magazines, which will be published near the end of May for Monthly Hobby JAPAN and Megami Magazine, and early June for Animedia.
And yes, inb4 video leak. ( *w*)
Thanks to yunamon for the heads up. Also, additional info from CloseUp NetTube.

@pKjd:
Yeah. I’m not too confident that this is Ordet’s first solo production, but my fingers are tightly crossed.
@mikumiku:
Haha, I meant that I’m expecting a video leak. There’s not one just yet, since the premiere is still some time away. ;=w=

Arg, how disappointing. Regardless of how the anime turns out, though, I just want to hear more ryo and Supercell.

So what about the internet streaming dates? If the “early premiere” is on July 7th, then the streaming dates have got to be pushed back too, right?
It’s probably likely, but no official details yet. Heck, I don’t even know where they’ll be streaming it.
Man, this sucks! >:(
On the site, they have “movie” in the line of the links underneath the apology, so I’m assuming that’s where they’ll be streaming it.
Again delayed =.=
im scared it will eventually end up releasing well never lol
