Well, luckily, it was a lousy show to begin with.
Sad what the mangaka went through with his now ex-wife over this whole thing. |

FUNi will probably announce they have Reborn as soon as they are done with the likes of D.Gray-Man and Soul Eater. Gintama is unlikley to make it over here due to the nature of the show. As for this news, I think it's great. For me, dubs are not a concern, just an added extra, so I'm pretty happy with how Sentai are operating. My only niggle is cramming too much content on one disc (5 eps max please). Apart from that, I hope they keep up the good work as they are clearly doing well from a finanicial perspective. As for the people saying they hope they crash and burn due to no dubs, you have no right to call youselves fans of anime. It's like me saying I hope FUNi crashes and burns since I don't like how they handles their releases...

What happened with the mangaka? All I know is SJ pulled the plug on the manga a few weeks ago due to low ratings, and the fact it was a ecchi manga in a more action themed mag. |

Dude, you're barking up the wrong tree here. I've tried to make this point so many times, but none of "if they won't dub, they deserve to die" people will listen. They are extremely selfish and would rather have everyone deprived of a show, than let some of us enjoy it. They don't care about anyone but themselves. You could have official figures here showing a title only moved a thousand copies and wouldn't have made money if dubbed, and they wouldn't care. They would rather have the anime market completely dead, then have anime being presented in a way they don't like. |

I'll answer this one. This is from a post over at NSFW Doujin-Moe and 4chan:

Why don't you chill and be patient. Give Section23 time, they're going to get back to dubbing soon. They need another partnership for that. |

As for "Snickering Fat Guy" getting To-Love-Ru? That anime in general?
Well let me start by saying how much of a shame it is to mislabel works like To-Love-Ru and Rosario+Vampire as "shounen." They're NOT "shounen." "Shounen" is when the male lead is focused on getting strong and defeating the bad guy, not to look under as many skirts as possible. "Shounen" is Busou Renkin, Bleach, D.Gray-Man, and Houshin Engi. To-Love-Ru is potpourri ecchi romance-comedy (along with R+V) that's not very funny at all IMMHO. It should flop in Shounen Jump. How did it get in there in the first place? That series, and R+V, should be "all-the-way" hentai; not "never gonna get it" ecchi.

Well, you can start here: anime#9091 If you like otaku shows... basically a harem of high school girls, all of them cute, most of whom are in love with one guy who may or may not deserve their affection, who fairly constantly fall into semi-sexual situations with said guy by accident (whereupon they blush, and optionally kick him hard into the nearest wall), most of whom will never actually express their love directly (and the guy will never figure it out), all of whom absolutely must a.) go to the beach and b.) go to an outdoor hotsprings once per season... ...then you will love it 
Seriously, it's a decent example of this type of show. Contains no real drama (i.e., it's a comedy, not Air-Kanon-Clannad style dramedy), so nothing to be taken seriously. You can turn off any analytical or angsty portion of your brain. And if you simply don't expect anything more from it, it's certainly worth watching. The animation is good enough, and it is mildly amusing to possibly even funny depending on how many of these shows you've already seen. In other words, how many times you've seen the premise and bag of events, gags and character types pulled from the same box. If you can't enjoy these types of shows, then definitely spend your money elsewhere... |

You said it man. They have no dignity and are infantile morons who think the R1 market has the pockets of other mediums. As for To-Love-Ru. I actaully wrote down a lists of anime license that I thoerized that ADV/Section 23 would license in the near future. So it's time to cross it out. Next up: Sumomomo Momomo! |

Alright! More subbed only anime! Maybe they can save more money by pandering to the truly hardcore and release it raw only.

Holy crap (sorry about my pick of words) Thats why it ended? over something on the internet that turned in to some cheating scandle? I mean thats pretty, interesting I always thought it was do to the ratings the series got that it ended, not a law suit by his wife. I mean that series could have gone on for 100's of chapters more if they got more plot in. (they never finished up the Black stuff or anything on Yami's past ) plus the fact it was Black Cat but in harem form. |
