Sentai Filmworks and Bandai Visual Issue Joint Statement on Sola License Confusion

Following up on the recent announcement of the acquisition of Sola by Sentai Filmworks and the ensuing confusion due to the recent release by Bandai Entertainment, both companies have issued a joint statement on the matter blaming a “clerical error” for the availability of the license on the market.  The full statement follows below:

Bandai Visual and Sentai Filmworks jointly announced today their united position regarding the title named "sola". The parties disclosed that a clerical error resulted in the title being made available for license and distribution to Sentai Filmworks.

However, Bandai Entertainment Inc. will continue to distribute sola.

Bandai Visual and Sentai Filmworks agreed to unwind the issue in good faith and Sentai Filmworks has retired the title from its catalog.
Both companies regret any confusion caused by these inadvertent circumstances. Each company sincerely appreciates their fan’s ongoing loyalty and continued support for "sola" and their other respective programs.
