I've read the Nasu manga, and I was surprised when this arc got animated, since I thought it was by far the weakest section of the series (which says less about this arc than how good the other stuff was).

Remember, anime wasn't mainstream in the US back then compared to today (the definition of mainstream differ from decades ago), it has started to gain some form of visibility amongst nerds/geeks at that time but not at the mainstream level like we're seeing today. I remember manga was still being flipped in the US back in late 2000's (when I just joined the fandom). Also, this came out before Haikyu!!, so this would probably explain why sports anime today could be able to be marketable and leading this question: what sports anime from long time ago that couldn't be marketed in the US back then could work today now that Haikyuu!! opened that up? The reason I asked is because Ashita No Joe could work well for fans of Hajime No Ippo now that Joe (both anime and manga) is getting an official US release. Same question can be asked if the Marvel Anime could get a 2nd chance in the US thanks to My Hero Academia (and also thanks to recent successes from DC like Batman: Ninja, and Suicide Squad Isekai), and maybe a follow-up to it if Marvel is willing to tip their toe into anime again. |

Manga had long been released unflipped by the late 2000s, with the only real hold out still being Blade of the Immortal (which, technically, was completely reworked to read in left-to-right order, not simply flipped). TokyoPop was the company that pushed the unflipped format around 2000 or so, and within a few years it was the standard. Anyway, I haven't see Nasu yet but it's always been something that caught my interest, and I've already bought AnimEigo's BD release. Here's hoping that they also do the second Nasu anime production in the future, as well. |

Does it have colored subs? I've been curious if new AnimEigo was going to keep that tradition going...

Yes it does, as does Nobody's Boy Remi. |

Although this is true, and at that time I didn't get full understanding of manga when I became a new fan. You're correct about Tokyopop set the new standard on releasing manga unflipped in the US, and Blade of the Immortal wasn't the only one still retained the left to right "flipped" format, Top Cow/Bandai's Witchblade manga was being released in both flipped (with color) and unflipped (in B&W) format in the US in 2006. So there were still some manga being released flipped in the US. So it took sometime I think around 2009/2010 where manga released in the US stopped being flipped. I still recalled Viz's Inuyasha manga was still kept in flipped format for sometime even in mid to late 2000's, I'm not exactly sure when they started to switch to unflipped format. But I do recall some Inuyasha manga from Viz was still being released flipped in 2007 and 2008 (I think). |

I would like to comment on, as someone from Spain, that Andalusia's depiction is basically just overblown cliches we are very sick of hearing from the rest of the world: no, Andalusia is not a desert, it has a few desert-like areas but it's in a very specific zone and it's not that exaggerated (we still deal with these stereotypes, like that Assassin's Creed live-action movie), and the culture is playing off all the stereotypes at maximum that weren't even like that 50 years ago.
The movie has a nice ambient and feel, but don't consider it at all an accurate representation; it's just a romantiziced version of all the cliches people have of it. |

Interesting to know. Thanks for the intel. It's not often we get to hear other peoples' perspectives on how anime depicts other countries like Spain or Brazil. |

And also, that's not the region's anthem. The real Himno de Andalucía is this
I take that they are running in Almería, my father's family home, which IS quite a desert-like place.

Animeigo can answer my fondest wish if they release Nasu: Migratory Bird with Suitcase. I never thought they'd release -this- in my lifetime, so shoot for the moon, I say.
