I'm not sure why everyone's hating on Blade & Soul so much. I think it's a pretty entertaining show and that's really all I need from anime.
I'll buy the DVD when it comes out. |

[/quote]Oh lighten up. Besides, they been doin shit on what to dub for the case of popularity. So it could probably get sub release, just for your ears to be spared[/quote] Hell i don't care if they dub it i'm not one of those sub lovers but i'm not a big Sentai dub fan all i was saying is if a show has a good story and such id rather wait since Funi seems to take and give more time for there shows to be dub then Sentai seems to.

It's a decent show at best I think. Suffers from some really painful censorship.
For all it's blandness however, I still find myself watching it. |

If the main character wasn't so bland I would probably enjoy this one more. Sadly I don't see that changing anytime soon.

If memory serves correctly, the following anime are still up for grabs:
1.) Atelier Escha & Logy - Alchemists of the Dusk Sky 2.) Baby Steps 3.) Fuuun Ishin Dai Shogun 4.) Gokukoku no Brynhildr 5.) Hitsugi no Chaika 6.) Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san 7.) Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders 8.) Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns 9.) Knights of Sidonia 10.) La Corda D'Oro – Blue Sky 11.) M3 - Sono Kuroki Hagane 12.) Mahou Shoujo Taisen 13.) Majin Bone 14.) Rowdy Sumo Wrestler Matsutaro 15.) Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii I could be missing some, but these are the main ones anyway. I included the shorts just for the sake of a complete list. If I must pick the three I want licensed the MOST from this list, it'd be numbers 4, 5, and 15 - 1, 2, 9, and 11 as well if they choose to license more. |

Netflix is streaming Knights of Sidonia in the summer, so it is technically licensed. Don't know if another company could put it out on home media though.

Unless they're planning on their first physical release ever, it "technically" is still unlicensed for physical release. For the moment, Netflix would technically be in the CR classification (minus CR's release of 5cm per second), i.e. a streaming only service. Which leaves the physical release license still up in the air. |

I will be honest I don't watch dubs outside of Ghibli works, but Funimation imo is nothing special. Honestly the best dubs to me were all Bandai/Genon/Pioneer/Viz with works like Gundam, Tenchi, and Ranma. I mean FMA was pretty good, but nothing spectacular of late for either. Question, was Date Alive II licensed with season 1? |

I watched the first episode of Blade & Soul, and it did not seem bad. Besides, you can never go wrong with hot women fighting on skimpy outfits.
If I am counting correctly, this will be the 18th show from 2014 that Sentai has picked up. I thought they were cutting on their licenses acquisitions, but I see nothing wrong with picking up lots of shows, as long as their business model keeps working. If Sentai has 3 more license announcements left, I hope they pick up more shows from 2013. I hope they pick up Gingitsune; I liked it a lot and think it was an under appreciated but Very good show. Galilei Donna was Good too. |

Awesome! Love this show. Great characters with sexy design and mature story. Hopefully there is blu ray release.

Initially, my interest for this show wasn't all that great, but after having a second look at the character designs, I may give Blade & Soul a whirl. Here's hoping it'll be a good one.

So your experience with non-Ghibli dubs consists of what was shown on TV back in "the day"? Gotta broaden those horizons. Which reminds me, while Sentai's truly great dubs can be counted on one hand (maybe 2, depends on if you've got extra digits) they still have potential so I hold out hope. ADV once challenged Funimation. Bang/Zoom has, and maybe this is a good thing, remained constant over the years. They've always lived in Funi's shadow and don't license their own stuff so...
? Netflix has already released its own properties on physical media?? |

I watched like one ep of the show and I thought it was ok. I guess KLK pretty much spoiled me. But I guess I'll get back into watching it at some point. Lots of killer ladies, bad guys, and cute anthro folk trying to sell you stuff. I laughed.
 But hey what can anyone expect from a series that's loosely based on a game of the same title. The only thing this exposure will do is get folks interested in the game and have artist produce fanart and doujins.
