I'd be wary of another early license of a show by Sentai Filmworks, but this one actually seems to be paying dividends. It's a really good show, so far, and while I can understand some people's antsyness over the pacing, this is one of those shows that looks to be a slow-burner. It has a good pedigree to it and on BD, it should looking stunning (as it already does on Crunchyroll at 1080p).

Obligatory pun upcoming. Sentai acquires Another anime from this season, wow!
It's become apparent that Funimation has been focusing its negotiations with Lawyers and not Licensors, unfortunately. Regardless, they have more than their fair share of backlogged cash cows that need to be released, and then they will see a good amount of money flowing in. As for Hanasaku Iroha, I loved the series and I really want to see it released in the US, I'd probably rather see it go to NISA since I feel that it doesn't necessarily need an English dub, but would definitely benefit from being released on Blu-ray with the awesome art books they put out because of the show's fantastic animation. |

I really hope this gets a dub. I miss a lot of the animation when I have to read and the animation is one of the strong points of this series. I really hope I'll be able to watch this dubbed!

As excited as I am for this (like, really really excited for this), I sure hope Sentai doesn't strain itself. They've licensed quite a lot already. I also hope they put some care into their upcoming releases rather than rush them. I do wonder what magic spell they're using on the Japanese license holders though, because the turn-around time on this is insane (assuming that their estimated release time-frame will be accurate).

Oh good, this is the show I've looked forward too this season, and so far am enjoying it. It's slow paced but I like that
 , I'm glad its not moving too fast.
I'll be putting $60 back to buy this, because its looking like I'll be jobless in another week or two due to my job basically shutting down... hopefully somebody calls me for an interview, been filling apps out like crazy and calling and visiting... |

Yay!!! This is the one I was hoping Sentai would pick up. Though I do find it a bit odd, since it is a Kadokawa title. Hopefully, this bodes well, for more future/past Kadokawa titles. -chants- Nichijou... Nichijou... Nichijou... |

Damn, I didn't even know about this series. Gotta make more effort to keep up with the new seasons of anime I guess.

The trial date for the FUNimation suing ADV case isn't even set until OCTOBER, so while jarring at first, it isn't unusual that Section 23 will be conducting "business as usual" in spite of the circumstances, so hearing of new announcements isn't unusual.
Frankly just hearing that they're licensing stuff gives me the small hope that the trial will be settled out of court and quickly, with little disruption in business, as opposed to a long and messy legal battle which drains both companies of cash for lawyer fees. |

I'm quite glad to see this news, though more for the fact that it will be released in NA and that it will be getting a BD release (didn't matter to me who was going to release it). Another is one of the shows I've been keeping tabs on, based on what I've read about it.
Based on Sentai Filmworks past BD release practices, I'm fairly confident that we can expect it to include an English dub. |

I know every company is different but it's wild to hear about fears of reverse importation then see something like this where the last JP volume releases on 8/13/2012 and, assuming no delays, the full series will be available and playable on JP BD players at a maximum of 4.5 months later for less than the price of one JP volume.

This is really great news. Just one more show I won't bother with fan subs for. I'll just wait for the blu-ray and enjoy all the horror goodness then!

"Hey, I just bought Another."
"Another what?" "Another DVD." "What's the DVD?" "It's Another." "What's another?" "Another DVD. I also got Another Blu-Ray." continue as you wish... |

So just when I was seeing which company has some horror stuff, this news pops up. Saw the japanese trailer, and suspect its slow pacing (which is okay, look at Ghost Hound and I thought that was superb) but animation looks very good.
But I wonder if Serephim Digital (studio who dubs sentai's titles) can pull this off with a dub that can match the characters age and attitude(since they all look young, but not "When They Cry" young), yet express the feeling of horror in this anime. If there is any because I'm just speculating on a title I have not watched yet. Well Clint Bickham, Corey Hartzog, Josh Grelle(if he sometimes dubs with Serephim), Brittney Karbowski, and Emily Neves are maybe a few ideas. But since this is getting a Blu Ray release, I'm going to be patient and not watch the japanese dub episodes yet. |
