Now that's a sharp trailer, just wonder if it being dubbed really means anything. Has it been licensed? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Okay, I feel rather dumb for this, but I thought that it was funny enough to mention. When the article said "Conan-esque," I thought they meant Conan as in Case Closed - which definitely confused me since Guin has neither been shrunken nor does he appear to be a detective. But it's not like I've ever seen much of Conan the Barbarian (and I certainly haven't read anything related to him), and I have seen and read a fair bit of Case Closed, so I guess that it's only natural to think of Cased Closed first, but still... I feel kind of dumb.

Conan the Barbarian. It too was a heroic fantasy series written serially, only way back in the day and in English. My impression, though, is that it had less of a continuous plot the way Guin does (or at least the first 5 books thereof). |

Well, as I understand it, the Conan the Barbarian books were written by a variety of authors, so it was really more of a case of several authors writing stories using the same main character as opposed to an actual, continuous series the way that the Guin Saga is. |

No, the original series were all written by one person, Robert E. Howard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conan_the_barbarian Other authors have written Conan stories, but did so at a much later date - glorified fanfiction, really. :-/ |

If Sony licensed this themselves, I might be willing to watch it streamed, or on tv like I did with the Blood+ dub, but if they dubtitle the DVDs like they did with Blood+, this will be a no-buy for me. |

Assuming the information is accurate, 124 volumes is a massive amount of work. I can only imagine this series has been running for thirty to fourty years. Because I don't think even Fighting Sprit has that many manga chapters.
This looks like a interesting shonen/mystery series, but I am just not interested. |

For some reason I didn't like the dub that much, but that's just me.

Did they get Macek to work on the narration? It reminds me of the English Windaria trailer.

Huh, interesting! This certainly came out of nowhere, and it sounds pretty good too! Not the best I've heard, but certainly enjoyable enough. Of course, it helps it's an anime I've been looking forward to in the first place!

This anime is in honor of the series' 30th anniversary... ...and remember, that's 124 volumes of light novels, not manga! |

I could be wrong but it didn't really sound all to much like Kate or Kari to me. Although I wasn't really looking for their voice while watching the trailer. Though I do hope I'm wrong, Kate and Kari are my favorite voice actresses. |
