Avex pictures enforces export ban on Blu-rays, DVD, and CDs

^ This only affects Avex Pictures stuff, which presumably will get international releases at some point.

 

One Piece has absolutely nothing to do with Avex Pictures tho.

Due to availability for export of our product to overseas, we, Avex Pictures must clearly classify those products that can and cannot be sold overseas. We pass on such instructions to our dealerships, including online distributors; however, there are cases where some dealers misidentify the classifications in question. In such cases, we call upon them to correct the situation as soon as we find out.

 

Please understand that we can only surmise that the product you have indicated to us is not available for sale overseas due to the above. Thus, we would like you to know that we have not suddenly banned the overseas sales of product, but rather it is one of those products that from the start was never meant to be available for sale overseas, and the dealership concerned has just recently made the necessary correction.

 

Please also note that in view of the needs in other countries for animation content, we are making every effort to acquire the distribution rights for sales overseas.

We look forward to your continued support of our products and wish you all the best.

So now they are saying that basically all the anime they have sold overseas in the past was actually never intended for international sale and it was all some big mistake? Am I understanding this correctly? Because this just reeks of bullshit.

Okay, so this is not so much a "xenophobia conspiracy" thing, but more of a "we really are the stupidest fucking people on planet earth" kind of thing?
