Hmmm....I don't know much about this title, but it'll be interesting to see how this fledging licensor will do in this fickle market.

It appears they have some ties with this company.

Looks interesting. I wonder how much content they're going after Smile

No. THIS is how you do it:

A little more detail has started to come out regarding the out of the blue announcement yesterday of AnimeWho and the Joe Vs. Joe Vol. #1 solicitation. As it turns out, the company is run by Tom Devine who is known as the man behind JapanAnime, an all adult anime label. AnimeWho appears to be their first small tentative push into the more mainstream market by trying a short six episode OVA series over two releases and with a dub and subtitles, something that they did not really experiment with on their adult releases.


Because, I haven't watched Full Metal Jacket, it's a lot better when you fight a war with squared-away marines than just handing some random street thug some AK-74 and flinging them out into the street.

Just imagine all that flack Tom would've avoided if he squared himself away.

What flak? What squaring? What're you talking about? Most of us have known the guy for only a day now.

Note: Near the end of Full Metal Jacket, Joker's squad of squared marines gets picked off by a female thug who was sniping with an AK47.

The flack I gave him.

Releasing adult anime without English dubbing.

And NO. English dubbing for adult anime should be done better, not removed so the non-dubbie crowd can be happy.

But they'd gotten her. And Joker, who had yet to kill anybody, ended up killing her.
