Sports anime fans continue to be on the losing end of things as series have a hard time finding an audience here, even more so when the licenses get drawn back to Japan. Sentai Filmworks has announced that the Japanese committee for Ryo-Ku-Bu: Fast Break has done a buy-back of the rights outside of Asia, so no home video release will be coming. Streaming rights are retained however.
