Well, that's...an interesting licensing choice.

The original To Heart is no longer in-print (though the DVDs are still going for cheap on Amazon Marketplace/eBay) and not legally streaming anywhere.

Vanilla To Heart 2? It's alright. There's so, so, so much more content out there for TH2 though.

I always expected Nozomi to license this eventually.

Shawn Kleckner of Right Stuf had told me at a convention a year or so ago that the rest of the To Heart franchise was tied up in some sort of licensing license limbo, and it didn't sound like they were particular interested in licensing it. So I'm very surprised that someone would pick up To Heart 2.

While I'm happy it got licensed, I'm not really sure if I'll pick up a copy. The To Heart 2 TV series just isn't as good as some other parts of the franchise.

I had thought that Nozomi Entertainment would have gotten it eventually, but guess they didn't do so.

I still have original To Heart licensed by Nozomi Entertainment.

Wow impressive I enjoyed this series back when it released. It was alot of fun. Guess there is hope still that Da Capo will one day get licensed yet.

Seriously... I totally relate to this one.
Going through Ever 17 currently... then Clannad, and eventually ReWrite.

Finally, after 13 years since the debut of original To Heart, To Heart 2 gets picked up. Too bad the chance for an English version are astronomical...but at least it's finally here.

Amusingly enough, Right Stuf's listing of the DVD version shows that the only spoken language for the product in English, and has Japanese subtitles. The BD version shows Japanese audio with English subtitles. I'm sure the BD version is correct, but it's a little funny...

Yep, that one's a snafu, for sure. Cool Hopefully someone corrects that...
