That is pretty neat~ I haven't seen all of Gokujo but I loved it when I was watching it. I think ADV will be able to handle it well, too. Very Happy!

I'm really surprised that this show got licensed. It's not bad, but not something that I would think has a big fanbase.

This is a very interesting license.

I agree. The series was one of the more obscure ones out there, and when I first saw this on AoD, I found it odd that ADV would license this series, not to mentioned surprised. =\

I wasn't surprised that this show is coming over (even predicted ADV too). Glad to have worked on this and to all the yuri fans....


Enjoy!

I agree--I've never seen it, but I've always had the impression that it was relatively unknown, even in fansub circles. It makes me wonder why series like this one and Peach Girl are getting licensed, when there are series like Karin out there with a large fanbase and easy marketability (vampires, cute girls, substantial...assets, etc.). Karin's only one example, but oh well, what can we do other than speculate?

Wicked! I love the show, but I would never have picked it as one likely to be licensed. Surprising, but hopefully this will up it's popularity to the level it deserves.

A series I never got around to looking into. I didn't realise what the title actually meant, but it is cumbersome in English.

i was wondering if konami of america is also involved on licensing this anime. i know that that company is only on video game software but considering that this is one of the companies in japan for making this anime.

My best speculation theory is money. It seems only FUNi is ponying up the dough for the licences everyone wants/expects to come over.

Kudos to ADV, taking chances on "unknown but people say it's good" show. I've only seen like 3 episodes, but I thought it was cute and funny. I guess it's time to delete all the episodes I haven't watched yet Embarassed

I actually liked this series, to my surprise. It's silly yet refreshing. I didn't think it would get licensed either, but I'm glad it is.

But we had that English title on the Encyclopedia basically since Gokujo came out. Razz
