If Discotek and Sentai keep picking up all these dated Viz licenses, hope they nab Video Girl AI, Key the Metal Idol, maybe Maison Ikkoku (if they don't plan to reissue it like Ranma) and perhaps Full Moon and such. Lot of their older titles I missed over the years.

Congrats to getting newer and older titles, Discotek. I will really be happy when they can get the 009 that aired on Toonami from Sony's lazy-ass collection.

Congrats to those who were waiting for Kyousougiga to be licensed for home video release.

I also thought that NIS America was a likely candidate to pick up Kyousougiga. NISA could have used a strong title like that because, other than Love Live!, lately they have acquired mostly mediocre shows.

Discotek keeps picking up more impressive stuff. I might need to start hoping that they rescue Monster.

Wow. You guys sound super excited about these anime getting licensed. I've already seen Beelzebub and Boys Over Flowers, but those other shows I've never heard of.

Doesn't mean I won't look into them.

OMG!!! I just finished re-watching Kyousougiga last weekend and got really sad because of the lack of a license. Now I'm head over heals for this announcement. Thank you Discotek, this will be my first purchase from you, definitely. Maybe I'll check Hana Yori Dango, perhaps.

Karate Master is the only one I'll definitely buy, but some of the others seem promising as well. I've never heard of Kyousougiga, but if so many people are excited over it, I'll have to take a closer look.

Super excited about that Kyousogiga release Very Happy
I kind of hoped NISA would release it, but I'll take any BD release.

Yes!, really surprised Discotek got Kyousougiga, figured Sentai or NISA would get it but good for Discotek, and BD to boot. Otherwise, lots of great pickups, I've been waiting for a Venus Wars BD forever, so I"m glad we're finally getting one. Otherwise, I just want a release date for SeHa girls.

Wow, Kyousougiga was easily my most wanted unlicensed series.

Definitely a "win" for Discotek in my book.

Kyōsōgiga release on Blu-ray? F**K YEAH!

Amen, brother. *fist bump*


My thoughts almost exactly - never thought I'd see the show licensed by Discotek, and get a BD release from them... such a good year for localizations from pretty much every licensor this year. Between this, Higurashi, and Legend of Galactic Heroes, I know where my money is going to go in the coming years.

Hope Discotek picks up Monster for a full dual audio release next Smile

I should so much happier now that I can finally buy Kyousogiga (someone get Hyouka next please) but My heart went up at seeing beelzebub's name then was crushed and sunk to learn that it was that garbage parriot shat out. Really was anyone asking for the anime of Beelzebub? The manga I'm not sure if I'm the only one or not but the anime? Really?

Oh well, KYOUSOGIGA!!!!

Space Adventure Cobra and Venus Wars for me! Been waiting on those for a while. Also might pick up the reissue of Blue Sub since it has the unedited English audio.
