So this is their third simulcast. It's look pretty interesting and I will have to check it out. I have to say I'm pretty impressed with at least two of these recent pick ups.

Hooray! Thank you very much Sentai. Although I am not into streaming very much, I'll be sure to pick up the DVD (and if lucky, double dip for a Blu-ray).

Do inform me If I am lead to declare a falsity, though I would presume being a detective is a valid status of employment.

You'd think so, and I believe some of the Summer Preview Guide entries commented on that. Maybe there's a "she's not getting paid" rationale involved, or perhaps the whole "NEET" thing is a bit of marketing.

Wow. Sentai is on a roll. I am very interested in seeing this series so I will probably pick up the DVD/Blu-ray when available.

Now I hope that someone will grab up Dantalian no Shoka, Blood-C, and No.6.

This is cool, but they need to start dubbing their licenses...releasing them subbed (imo...so shut it) won't do me any good since I was really looking forward to a dub...now I find out it's only a subbed which I watch online a year before they release it.

Looking at the actual press releases:

Heaven's Memo Pad = "with a home video release of the 12 episodes to follow next year."
Ro-Kyu-Bu! = "with a video release of the 12 episodes on English subtitled DVD to follow next year."
Croisee in a Foreign Labyrinth = "with a home video release of the 12 episodes to follow next year."

So, Ro-Kyu-Bu! is the only one specifically stated to be subtitled DVD's. I somehow doubt the other two will end up being different, though. Maybe if they get good streaming numbers they will consider a dub.

He's talking about the actual press release. We're commenting on an ANN article.

Anyway, seems like the only show with fansubs I need to delete now is Mawaru Penguindrum...

Yea I agree and Kami-memo's premise is that its all volunteer work but its more that she is a shut-in. That's why she recruits others to do all of the outside work.

Seems NEET and shut-in kind of get lumped together. Either way show seems to have some potential and glad its going to be available legally.

Okay, if you want the show dubbed WATCH THE STREAMS ON TAN! The higher the streaming numbers, the more likely it is to get dubbed. The numbers Daimao pulled are what tipped that show into the dub/bluray column.

However, I doubt loli basketball girls would get dubbed regardless. Sentai/ADV have plenty of experience with sports shows and what they can do proftiably.
