But Azumanga does it so much better. Bottle Fairy should be on one disc, or a double disc release at most, like Magical Play. |

What th...? It's coming in August, 11 months from the licensing announcement, eight months from the series finale. Some people are just ridiculously impatient.

Hmm, Starship Ops is kind of an odd license to grab. Heck, I'm a Trek fan and even I couldn't get past the heavy dialogueness of it all. I dunno, maybe the first few episodes are the only ones that are that way.
Oh well, too late to give it a chance now, licensed

YES. Sensei no Ojikan. =D
Something tells me it's going to attract the wrong type of crowd. Oh well. Mika-sensei is great. Good good stuff. Geneon <3 |

Bottle Fairy looks really cute, and I'll probably give it a shot. Battleship Operations is supposed to be good. But... I'm unsure of the Doki Doki School Hours one. Is it actually any good? I haven't heard anything about it.

There is no reason for him to be ashamed about it. He is the target audience for it anyway. Bottle Fairy was serialized in Magical Cute magazine (which is a bishoujo magazine, and bishoujo magazines are targeted at male audience, this magazine has many cute and ecchi manga which are ALL targeted at male audience). Bishoujo magazines are targeted at male audience, anyhting in these magazines from cute manga to ecchi manga are targeted at male audience. (bishoujo anime/manga/games are targeted at male audience) Bottle Fairy is a bishoujo manga/anime that is targeted at male audience, so he has nothing to be ashamed about.(the anime was broadcasted at 2:00 am because of the moe factor, and yes moe factor) Manly?
Bottle Fairy is not the first cute manga/anime that is targeted at male audience and its not the last one. Just check bishoujo magazines and you'll find many cute manga.(yes they are targeted at male audience). |

I'm just starting to find out about this recently. I had no idea that Bottle Fairy was originally targeted to adult males in Japan. From the perspective of an American, I assumed that it was targeted towards children or maybe females. I think most guys in the U.S. won't find themselves the target audience for a title such as Bottle Fairy, though. |

Ignorance will keep them away from it, while males were the primary viewers of this anime in japan. And the american companies don't help at all, everything that is cute no matter whom the target audience in japan, they will probably target it at females and saying lies about it bieng shoujo anime while its not. |

Because it's less than three hours long? |

And what was so hard about just saying this the first time for those of us who are unfamiliar with Bottle Fairy? |

'cause I didn't think of it. This became a Bottle Fairy thread from a Geneon Licenses thread, I didn't expect this "unfamilarity with Bottle Fairy" you speak of. |

And yet they will find themselves secretly ordering it online or buying it at the store and saying in a low voice, "It's for a friend." Seriously, just wait. |

But how are they going to do it? I just re-watched it, coincidently, and there's lots and lots of language jokes. They can have notes about the Japanese holidays and stuff, but how do you deal with all those puns in a dub?

If they're smart about it, they won't deal with all those puns. They'll get some clever and funny person to write the ADR script, thus sparing the average dub viewer who could care less about retardedly obscure jokes and give us some funny crap. Unfortunately, what we'll likely get is a dub that sticks very close to the original script, which is a loss for those of us who don't like checking liner notes just to get a joke that wasn't funny to begin with. I truly pray we're never saddled with another Cromartie High School...ever again. Seriously...to all you company reps out there...STOP licensing anime with nothing but stupid obscure jokes. If you must license them, please just Fosterize the dubs to spare those of us unfortunate enough to check them out from a waste of $20-$30. |
