There is now no reason for people to not get Step Up Love Story (Futari Ecchi). Seriously, everyone needs to get on that.

I guess there's also no reason for me to keep stalling on Strawberry Panic. Loved it years ago, but I've been hesitant on grabbing it.

All of this is, of course, assuming Media Blasters will still be around when it's June.

I might get both Simoun and Strawberry Panic somewhere down the line, at this price point they're hard to pass by.

Odd question...


Does that (D) behind Step Up Love Story mean it's only dubbed?

I certainly dig MB's pricing for its Classic Line. Even better than Funi's S.A.V.E. line.

Peculiar.

Thank You. Smile



Wonder what the covers will look like. Never got around to getting Strawberry Panic yet....

Holy crap! I didn't even see that Futari Ecchi was dubbed! I wonder who they got to do it?

If I had to guess it would probably be them, which means the dub will be crap. I do not see any English cast list yet in the Encyclopedia so I guess we will just have to hope for the best.

Two titles are forthcoming on the list. Maybe three. I already own "Maidens"... meh.

Since the initial posting, TRSI has fixed the product listing from (Hyb) to (S). They still haven't fixed the format yet (still says "Dubbed in English"). This is pretty much a typo.

Hmm, I might just get Simoun myself, $12 is hard to pass up, it seems to be in my limit of "cheap enough to check out". Then again, that didn't work so well with Hakugei at $8, I feel like waste money is wasted money no matter how much or how little. But I'll likely just get it anyway, tack it on for free shipping or something at some point or another (like, I plan to order Nadesico, right? And probably Shin Getter vs Neo Getter, maybe a little Fist of the North Star, clearly older stuff)

The other stuff all looks like ecchi, and with the exception of GoldenBoy, I've hated all ecchi I've ever encountered. It's like pouring searing acid into my eyes, no thank you, I'll be skipping those. Unless anyone can tell me if something there is like Garzey's Wing special brand of so bad it's good.

I'm thinking that was just an early mistake, all now only have (S) (sub) after the title. Apparently none of these were ever given a dub.

But if we're talking about letters ....Carl did give Otoboku an "F+" story rating, what does that mean? Laughing

I already own Strawberry Panic in my stockpile and I have Simoun in my Netflix queue to peek at sometime in the future. Otherwise, could care less about the other two titles due either to my hatred of ecchi or hearing negative reviews of the mentioned title.
