Sentai did good today.
What I hope they do with LoGH is release the two movies first, stream the 110 ep OVA, then release the 110 episodes in 4 separate disc sets. Now, I can't imagine it'll ever be dubbed into English (and given the usual quality of Sentai's dubs, it's probably for the best), but I wouldn't totally object to at least the movies being dubbed. |

I am floored...
Legend of the Galactic Heroes AND the Higurashi anime licensed? *checks pulse* Well, it seems I haven't died and gone to heaven. 
This rocks. I would definitely pick up Legend of the Galactic Heroes and I'd be interested in their Higurashi no Naku Koroni Kai discs if they plan to dub the show, not so much if Kai is sub only though since I already have the Australian discs. Higurashi Rei I would also purchase since this will be the first official English release of that. |

Ahh true and we still unsure if sentai has any of the DVD specials or the ova from season one as well. Still the most important parts of the series have finally been licensed for a r1 release. |

Congrats on LoGH. You have been one of the biggest advocates of this franchise in these threads. And I imagine Sentai will do a physical release. Space Brothers is a great example that they are willing to do physical releases for long series. |

I have seen the Gaidens fansubbed and watched them if you look hard enough you will find them, but the only ones I couldn't find were Overture (expanded re-telling of episodes 1 and 2 of the main OVA series),episodes 26 and 27 of Spiral Labyrinth, and My Conquest is the Sea of Stars. I really hope they get the movies and prequel OVAs cause I want to watch this with my Dad in chronological order. Cause he is nuts for space/sci-fi stuff like Star Wars and Star Trek. He is over 60 and I want him to experience this series with me before he dies. I will be pre-ordering the sets and hopefully they will be on Bluray cause the aspect ratio on DVD is different and my old DVDs when I play them on my bluray player and 32' HD its black boxed pretty much. My new DVDs Romeo x Juliet S.A.V.E fits the entire screen. So I hope if Sentai release DVD only that it will stretch across my screen and not be letter boxed in. One thing that worries me is that if they still stack DVDs/Blurays they might get scratched or damaged and I have no room for individual DVD cases. Still buying no matter what though cause I literally just finished watching the entire saga (well almost) fansubbed last month and I was upset that I couldn't own it and now I can. I'm so excited, but at the same time I worry for the packaging and quality cause we all know what happened to that Sailor Moon hype from Viz. |

Someone needs to edit the Wikipedia article. It currently lists Sentai as having licensed Kira (but not Outbreak). Apparently someone's enthusiasm and excitement got them a bit carried away. |

I told everyone, multiple times Legend of the Galactic Heroes would be licensed eventually. You just have to have patiences. Seems I was right
 . Also I'm so glad I will finally get to see how When They Cry ends, it's been a long time coming. I've been waiting since Geneon/Funimation released the first season to see how it ends. Since I never watch anime illegally I was sweating for a little bit thinking I may never see how it ends. Now I can. Looks like I made the right call there as well. Best license announcement in years. I'll be buying all of this (I'm assuming there will be a physical release eventually). Thank you Sentai! they're still the best company in the anime business.
Only way this could be better is Sentai announcing they will get the Bang Zoom cast back together for the dub of When They Cry Season 2. But I sort of doubt that would happen, lol! I foresee a subtitle only release in the near future. This is fine though, I'm very happy I can finally see the show ! But perhaps I'll be pleasantly proved wrong? |

LOGH is one of my favorite anime, so I'm pretty happy that it's getting a release.
I've always considered LOGH to be the one anime that is the most in need of a dub, because it's probably the most dialogue focused work I've ever seen in any film-type medium. I'd love to see it in English. I know it's a pretty big endeavor to dub a show with more than 100 episodes, but I didn't think anyone would be licensing it in the first place, so we'll see... |

First Rose of Versailles, now LotGH . . . what's next, Harmony Gold decides to relent and allow Macross Frontier to be licensed?

Ah yeah, that's my biggest worry. Oh, and the audio. Most of my DVDs for 90s & early 2000s anime still have that lame 4:3 ratio so the black bars show up. I hope Sentai doesn't "stretch" the video to match Widescreen 16:9. Does anyone know how LOGH looks on the Japanese BD release? @dtm42: Pigs will fly before Frontier or Do You Remember Love? are released in the US. Heck, the release of the original, unedited SDF Marcoss seems more plausible now that history has been made! |

Perhaps it is a crazy idea. Certainly, I can't see Harmony Gold growing a heart anytime soon. But stranger things have happened, so don't rule it out entirely. |
