Dunno if I should have put this in News or here, so I put it here.
Quote from Redfoxoffire:
According to their official site, Bandai Entertainment's online store closed on December 29, and now the subsidiary of Namco Bandai Holdings will be ceasing production and distribution of new products. Starting in February, Bandai Entertainment will no longer offer new DVD, Blu-ray, and manga releases.

It's probably not the same Code Geass you're think of.

So...Nichijou is licensed but not being released? So basically, there's no legal way to get it .-.

Ken Iyadomi is no stranger to the American anime business. Having been at Bandai Entertainment since its inception in 1996, and VHS anime publishers LA Hero and Manga Entertainment before that, he's seen a lot of changes in the business.
Unfortunately, his latest announcement is one he'd rather not be making. On January 3rd, the publisher is announcing that it will cease to release new DVD and Blu-ray releases in North America, effectively ending its 13-year run in the market. The majority of the division's contractors and three of their five full-time staff members will be laid off, and all releases scheduled after the first week of February have been cancelled.
Kinda long so heres the link to the rest.
