I enjoyed watching Samurai Champloo, Ergo Proxy, and Deadman Wonderland. I'm sad to see the studio go, though it was only a matter of time before the poor sales of their work caught up with them. Thoughts on this development?

So much for getting the rest of Deadman.

Right? I was hoping Adult Swim would've given Manglobe the money to produce a FMA-Brotherhood style adaptation of the manga, because the manga was one of the best shonen mangas I've read. S1 wasn't too shabby either so it's really too bad we won't see a S2 now unless another studio (perhaps Madhouse or Bones?) picks up the slack.

[nja] Tweets are pouring out now from Japan. Sounds like the studio has collapsed big time.

Deadman anime had shitty sales, it won't be picked up. Most people stateside probably only know of it because Toonami aired it. And I highly doubt that the ratings it got would justify a Big O situation.

I heard Manglobe was pretty lazy with animation at times, most of their suffering for it. So I'm not surprised at this.

They probably weren't paid enough to animate their series well.

Looks like they're going... to the world God only knows.

They must have really been down to the last Man.
