Really, with all the bad news the industry started out with this year, I'm happy we continue to see titles announced at all. Not every license appeals to me (most don't), but I don't feel the need to complain about titles I'm not getting. Haganai, though, I'm likely to buy, as I really enjoyed the series. FUNi is kind of variable with dubs, but I think they still do some great ones. B Gata H Kei's (which I just finished) was pretty hilarious and I'm glad I got it. It's going to be a while, but looking forward to getting Haganai when they put it out. |

All these damn recent shows that Funimation keeps licensing all look the same to me..nothing about them stands out at all.I wish they would license something that is somewhat remotely different and interesting but it seems like even that is asking for to much.

In that case you ought to check out those new deluxe edition box sets they've been releasing lately - for example, Kimi Ni Todoke vol. 1 and Arakawa Under the Bridge season 1. Nice packaging, great Blu-Ray productions. I didn't realize they were turning out such nice sets until I checked out that Arakawa release. On a second reading I realized that this message sounds like a shill. I'd better insert my Amazon review disclaimer: I'm not an employee of NIS America (I could use the healthcare plan, believe me), and I didn't get any free gifts or discounts from the cheap b*tards for giving them glowing reviews. They just make nice Blu-Rays, is all. Last edited by AlanMintaka on Sat Jan 28, 2012 7:53 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Which part of Kodaka (the protagonist of the show) is spineless and weak to you? On the other hand, I can say the show can be somewhat anti-climactic, although the final episode makes up for it. |

Shows like what? Apparently anime like Haganai make them more money, so they get licensed more often, while more wild concept shows don't produce much in sales, regardless if they're better shows. |

Plus Haganai is actually a good show with lots of acclaim, unlike a lot of the ecchi shows that they've been picking up recently. Its essentially the Ore no Imouto of 2011. |

I really have no idea what some anime fans are thinking these days. They will complain about any and everything just because they can. In regards to the licensing, I am looking forward to owning this one day. Somehow, I get the feeling that someone at Funimation is hired to look up charts, follow hot trends, and observe anime forums. |

Princess Jellyfish is coming out soon, that's pretty "different". Or are you talking licenses within the past month? I'm still waiting to see who gets Mawaru Penguindrum. |

The first season was licensed by Bandai, so who knows where it will end up here in the USA - if anywhere. But given that the movie version is on the Japanese Academy Awards list in the best animation category, and given that K-ON!! (they label the second season with two "!!") is also a huge hit in Japan, you'd think a USA distributor would want to get their hands on it. I just finished watching season 1 on the Bandai discs and I'm definitely interested in seeing more. It's a great series. I like the "insert music" that has kind of a Latino beat but I don't recognize it from any of the music titles listed in the encyclopedia here. It's used in the DVD menu a lot, and also sometimes as background music. Any idea what it is? |

100% chance of buying it...in 2013/2014, at least for me. Good to know that they'll release it on DVDs/BDs.

Michelle Ruff, Kate Higgins, Karen Strassman, Cristina Vee, and Hilary Haag never do recording in Dallas, and Johnny Yong Bosch and Stephanie Sheh only do it on occasion. I guess this is a good license, but it's such a short series... |

Yeah, there was that scene where he acted like a badass at the pool. Still, not far from the prototypical harem anime male protagonist to me. Kinda boring, kinda lame. |
