I am happy that Media Blasters will receive another source of revenue, but isn't this series as "bad" as Kodomo No Jiken?
I also heard this series was quite violoent and had crass jokes. I just hope Media Blasters will license the second season of Genshiken soon. I really hope this isn't as bad as people have told me this series is, but I am probably not going to watch this series though. |

A two-sided Dokuro-chan pillow case. With bumps on Excaliborg. Oh, two pages already and nobody's predicted that some tabloid will catch sight of this and bring down the US anime industry? On my ANN? Maybe Answerman needs to raise some awareness or something. |

Oh God, I remember seeing a clip of this on youtube. It was so absurd I'll have to pick this up to know what the heck was going on. Media Blasters does a pretty good job of picking up titles in my opinion and keeping prices low due to the inexpensive nature of the titles and their sub-only format like they've done with Strawberry Panic & Kashimashi. $20 msrp is a deal considering they're not hard to find on sale for even less. I suppose that all doesn't matter too much if you prefer dubs, but it makes me happy =) Now I'm just afraid of what I'm going to see watching the entire thing...

Oh really? Like in a gross way? I hadn't heard that. If true, then I will not be as interested as previously stated. I thought it was just violent tasteless slapstick gags in good fun. Like Puni Puni Poemi. (←which stretched the line a bit, but in a way that everyone still realized that it was wrong, or at least supposed to be) |

Maybe you sub fans should try to remember that while you will almost NEVER have to worry about whether there will or will not be a Japanese track with a sub, unless the show is a kids series, we dub fans are constantly having our hopes crushed as of late. Please, think of your fellow fans every now and then. And if this gets an English dub I am so buying it. |

Wow. This is a major surprise, but a pleasant one. I never would have expected this one to be licensed, and will most certainly get the DVD when it comes out.
That's true, but how does that make it as "bad" as Kodomo No Jiken? The latter is disturbingly edgy; this one is just supremely silly. (Gods, just wait until the uninitiated see what happens to angels who get their halos stolen. . .  )
I, for one, would like to hear this one dubbed. Very little of its humor was specifically Japanese, so there'd be little adaptation needed, and it shouldn't be hard to find appropriate VAs. |

fear not, for it is certainly no worse than Puni Puni Poemi. and i have nothing against a dub being made. |

Never saw this coming. Oh well, I have been waiting to see this series for a while.

The "worst thing" that I can remember from the series was the odd panty shot or two from a female main character who's the same age (well, she's an angel, so maybe not, but you get what I mean...) as the male lead. Oh, and the occasional outset of over-the-top violence and gore. In other words, it's no worse than 50% of the entire continuum of anime productions.

quoted for epic truth... i would have liked to get maria watches over us, kashimashi girl meets girl and emma... but seeing as they all got sub only release... i haven't wanted to get them at all... for some of us out there... when a series we like or want to see, gets released on DVD... sub only... we feel cheated... it's like a slap in the face from the company licencing it, fundimentally saying "we don't care what you want..."... and when other anime fans pipe up with things like "i hope this doesn't get a dub" it is even more of a slap in the face, and it's almost hurtful... i understand you want to get it on DVD as soon as possible... but, haven't you already seen it fansubbed?(and don't lie)... surely you can wait a little while longer so that all of your fellow anime fans can be catered for... i want it on DVD as well, as quickly as possible... but not at the cost of it being released properly and fairly... i have nothing but praise for the likes of ADV, Funimation and Bandai Visual (and geneon before they died), who, despite how much it costs, how long it takes, or how difficult it is, are sticking to their guns and not letting their standards slip... catering to all anime fans by releasing their series with A quality dubs... even the 'bad dubs' are better than no dub... and before the onslaught of retaliation and flames regarding this post are posted, please stop and think of your fellow anime fans out there... we're not asking for much, only for your patience, support and understanding...

Actually, it was only Geneon USA that went under. But still nice to see people wanting this. I loved it when I watched it. Though, I hope media blaster does like they did with Otoboku, which by the way has it's first vol. being released on June 24. I just want a sub mainly because I think they are more accurate and the price of the dvd will go down. I do know there are some that refuse to watch a subbed anime, but really, why would that stop you from watching something you enjoy? |
