That's...really weird.

The cast looks pretty good, but it's still weird.

Sounds great! I know people will think that this is expensive, but it's not that bad for all the episodes and bonuses.

Neat, hope this does well. I'd like to see more dubs from NISA.

Don't really care about the English dub (this is NIS America's first one, right? An interesting choice).

But screw it, I'm pre-ordering the premium edition right away. I don't even mind that I got the DVD sets a year or two ago, because this show is worth it for me.

Ummm...yeah, that's kind of a shock. I guess I'll be showing my support for what, at least at face value, seems like a rather unnecessary risk on their part by buying it.

Well damn. Just bought the series on DVD from them on the last rightstuf christmas/winter sale. Great show, but can't really afford to double dip when I got other shows to buy.

This seemingly came from no where, but hey, more Toradora is a good thing! I wonder how they are going to pull off Taiga though, she's such a key character with such a distinct voice. It should be interesting to see!

A dub from NISA? Neat. Dubs are nice because it makes anime easier to share with other people, and some days I just don't feel like reading everything.

I was holding off on buying it on the slim chance we get a blu-ray release, but not only do we get that but a dub too?

Hopefully we'll see more dubs from NIS in the future

I was just lamenting the fact that Toradora was not available on Bluray today with some friends. The Dub is a nice bonus but I am pre-ordering this right away!

Well f***.

So they've finally done it! Of course, after I paid for the DVDs. Should be an outstanding release though. Time to consider which Blu Ray box I might get in the future.

Nice! Rightstuf has the premium box for $95.99 btw

I'm not much a dub viewer, though I always check it out, but It makes sense they'd choose to go back and dub one of their most popular titles.

The blu-rays look great, or at least much better than DVDs. They went back and did some remastering as I recall some special things were done, perhaps recompositing, instead of a simple upscaling from the SD video.

Alright, just like Clannad before time for us dub fans to show NIS America that this is worth it by buying it! Surprised
