.....Well that's one more series I won't ever bother watching.
Figures... One of the VERY few shows this season that I was actually somewhat interested in, and now it's already ruined.

| Well, well, is NIS America, of all people, stepping up to plate with Bandai's recent bow? Didn't think they would license a show pre-debut (a gamble I think too many distributors are beginning to make)… |

Surprise, surprise, NISA is putting on their big boy pants and showing that they're dedicated to distribution in NA, not just cherry picking random fan favorite titles. And it's a title that's being streamed, always a big gamble, I like this.

This doesn't seem to be the type of show Bandai would license.
I hope the show is good and that it does well for NIS. I enjoy most of their license choices... |

How is it ruined? You can still watch it streaming on Crunchyroll. |

I meant in terms of there being another presence on the R1 scene licensing anime in general. |

| I think companies have been jumping the gun lately, but I think NIS probably got a good deal on it and wanted to branch out a bit into a title that was more for the mainstream anime fan. if this is the property or not though is a good question. I would like it if they or funi would pick up gosick since bandai dropped it. |

True, but now the hopes for a bilingual release are slim-to-none.
Believe it or not, there ARE people in this world who prefer to WATCH their TV, not READ it. |

| Whoa! First Sentai and now NIS is jumping on the "license stuff before they air" train? Hmmm...nice that NIS is branching out a bit. |

| I really hope this move of pre-debut licensing isn't the start of a new bubble. I can understand the need for distributors need to sell titles, but it becomes a little disconcerting when you have so many essentially blind-buying something that may or may not turn out to be good. |

| This is an odd choice for NISA. |

| NISA is willing to pull a risky move like this, but they still don't want to put the resources into actually dubbing their series. Ummm? |

| An interesting choice for NISA, especially considering its the only action-oriented show this season. |
