I'll just say don't get your hopes up too high about Pandora Hearts. It wasn't all that good, aside from having Yuki Kajiura music. It's good to know there's a new licensor in operation though. I just hope they put some effort into it and don't just put out those lazy sub-only releases. |

I am in shock. This awesome news regarding Toradora! came completely out of left field. The only question is: Will it be dubbed? I'm not optimistic, considering the fast release schedule, but who knows. I'll be buying this regardless.

Production cost aside, I don't think any of these shows were released on Blu-Ray in Japan yet, so they almost certainly won't be released on Blu-Ray in North America first.
On the contrary, I would say that the ending ties things back to the premise/setup/motif at the beginning rather well. If you take the first two episodes and then watch the last two episodes, it becomes rather clear how the episodes in the middle were all building to the end goal. Of course, not liking it is one thing, but I don't think there's anything fundamentally flawed in the structure of the show. I suppose YMMV, as always... |

Maybe it has something to do with their anime licensing business to have yet to turn a profit. |

Wow, Toradora finally licensed, and by a newcomer to the market. That's great news on both fronts.

Don't know much about NIS.
Well it's simple. Do they dub their video games? If yes, then there is a better than 50% they will dub this. Quality? Yet to be determined. As far as the news I am all for new entrant into the market. Love Funi, but they don't release everything I want to buy. |

Awesomely fantastic news!... Two things: Blu-ray Toradora please, and "Palmtop Tiger" sounds so much better than "Handheld Tiger".
That is all |

Was kinda hoping FUni got this one. Still good to see that NIS got a helluva title to start off with.

You're not the only one. I'm very skeptical about this, since I'm still not over the horrible job they did of localizing Ar Tonelico 2 (nigh-unavoidable text buffer errors that crash the game, removing Japanese voicing to match the parts of the dub they couldn't finish, lots of Engrish near the end showing a generally unfinished product, etc.). Given that they generally do a good job on their high-profile releases though, I suppose I should give them the benefit of the doubt with Toradora. I really do hope they treat this one with care, I'd hate to see such a good show get the same bad treatment as other good things like AT2. |

Hell yes, Pandora Hearts!
I wonder if they'll include the extras that were on the DVD releases? That would be sweet. |

Always, always overjoyed to see a new anime licensing company surface, no matter how unusual or unexpected the source.
I gleamed a bit of Toradora! online about a year ago and it looked pretty cute and funny, so I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for it dubbed. Not to mention the other titles. |
