Once they partner up with FCI/Pony Canyon and TBS they will probably dub at least 6 titles a year. Anyway, I can't wiat for them to license Hyakko and Sumomo Momomo. |

Hidamari Sketch! Fantastic. I never expected that to get a release.
I'll be ordering that for sure. |

Yaaaay!! Neo Angelique Abyss got licensed!! And it was on Crunchyroll!! I am so getting this title! I hope other titles that are streaming on Crunchyroll get licensed (Shugo Chara, Aoi Hana, Natsume Yuujinchou, etc.)! But when is Sentai gonna dub these shows!? If I had my own licensing company, I would dub all the titles I could license!

Yay, you'd also have to pay the voice actors and studio technicians, not to mention pay for the studio rental fees and then pay people to edit and mix and what not! And then to recoup that cost, you have to raise the price of the DVD, hooray! And hope people buy enough of it to equal the cost of dubbing it. It's not like dubbing is just some quick and easy thing you tack on. I wonder if ADV/Sentai/Section 23, whatever they go by these days, will put it in airing order, or some kind of chronological order. Not that it really makes any kind of difference. I just hope that they get x 365 and all of the specials. And then maybe something like GA as well. For shows like these, I'm just not sure a dub could cut it.

said it before [EDIT: well then, you don't need to say it again if you're not going to add anything constructive to the thread. No soapboxing.]

Neon Angelique is one I've been interested in for a while, so I will definitely grab it. Will probably give Glass Mask a try as well. I imagine they will all be on Anime Network sooner or later, so I might even have a chance to test them out first.
Sentai's releases are quite affordable, with perhaps the exception of Ghost Hound, so I have no qualms with them. Yeah I miss the dubs, but I would rather have a few good shows than what some of the other companies are putting out (or not putting out in some cases.) Their encoding and video quality are much better than Funi's, and they don't have anywhere near as many issues as Bandai's discs, and all for lower prices. So I can't complain about it too much. I'm sure they want to dub titles, but right now the titles they are acquiring don't really have the sales support for them. But you never know, some of the stuff they have released has done really well, especially for sub-only releases. But even if or when they start dubbing, it will never go back to the way that ADV dubbed everything. Oh yeah, and let me remember a few important. Sentai doesn't announce a new license and make us wait six months to a year for it, and they can actually hit street dates! They're about the only R1 left that can actually accomplish the latter. |

Honestly, I've never paid attention to Hidamari Sketch, which seems to be the easy winner here. Glass Mask, however, I'm quite interested in. I'll be sure to check it out before the DVDs are released. Neo Angelique does not really excite me at all, especially because it looks incredibly trashy from the plot summary... But I will at least look at the other two.

Yeah. Plus the fact that so many good anime companies are dying or are dead (Geneon, ADV, Central Park Media, Kadokawa USA, etc.) and part of this is this durn economy's fault!! Well, at least there's this and Discotek (Sea Prince and Fire Child DVD release FTW!!!). I better hope the economy gets better so that anime companies can be born and start dubbing shows again...and that 4Kids changes it's a"all-dub all-edits no japanese" ways. |

Ghost Hound is the only one whose price seems a bit high. |

Hidamari is the name of a place in this case, though, not just another word. While I agree that something like Black God/Kurokami makes more sense to translate, changing Hidamari to Sunshine wouldn't add any level of understanding to the title. |
