I was waiting for the Future Diary OVA to be licensed ever since I saw that ending of the TV series. I like the series and I like the ending of the manga, the spoiler[unwinding of fate through one good deed] which is the last thing you'd expect from a band of killers.

Also, spoiler[flying babies]. I probably wouldn't care as much if I didn't read the manga before watching the series.

The rest...

The only thing I know about that Kyoto Animation show is that limbo scene. I think that's a "buy"?

I really like Kiddy Grade. The sequel was done years ago and it didn't set the world afire... make it on anyone's radar... and it seems like the fandom is answering the news with a resounding "Huh?" Seems remarkably unnecessary.

Hybrid×Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia? Oh, that one. Is it just me or is H x H somehow, somehow mind you, derivative of D x D?

Must've been really minor and buried then because I sure as hell don't remember it streaming on CR.

It was 7 years ago:
animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-12-08/crunchyroll-adds-kiddy-girl-and-mushi-uta

Kiddy GiRL-AND was part of a slate of Kadokawa catalog titles that came to CR early in its life as a legit service, and then went away again in August 2014 (the same time CR lost titles such as The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Gosick, Lucky Star, and Nichijou):

Agreed. I have few reservations when it comes to reservations. However, when there is a lot of yuri fan service moments, that's why I didn't watch HxH or "Seven Mortal Sins".


HxH has almost no yuri in it. There are some minor villain characters that show up a little bit that have some yuri moments, but its super small amount. The vast majority of the fan service is the main guy with his harem (of which there is a ton).

Guess it's worth asking here with the Phantom World mention:
Anyone know why the initial lineup Crunchyroll announced over a year ago that's coming on home video is taking so long? Usually, the turnaround is a little faster.

EDIT:

still no word on Bungo Stray Dogs release.

it was confirmed we were getting one, and a dub, but no date of release yet. Like a handful of other series CR announced prior to the Funiroll partnership.

They will still be on the sites, all that will change is now people will have an option to own these animes.

Well, glad I held off on buying Future Diary. Now that there's a release with the OVA, I'll be buying the series.

Is Kiddy Grade and a yuri?

We have it listed with a "shojo-ai" theme but I don't recall it having significant yuri elements, (Granted, though, it's been seven years years since I've seen it.)

And yeah, that's the "out of the blue" announcement of this bunch for me. Never expected that one to get picked up after all this time.

So can someone help me out and explain why Yamada kun and the seven witches was supposed to get a release back in July after even announcing the dub cast but it still hasn't happened?

You don't speak for everybody. I have absolutely no interest in Konosuba and am very excited to buy Hybrid X Heart on Blu-Ray.

Not really. The words Hybrid and Heart actually have relevance to the show's actual plot. To this day, I have no idea what DxD means in regards to that show's plot.

I never said it would or wouldn't now did I? I don't care honestly which show is more popular. The fact remains plenty of people do want HxH for home release despite your claim otherwise. If you don't want it then that's fine, but you don't speak for everyone.
