It will, the show was accidentally leaked last week by the HiDive Twitter account as soon to be joining the lineup.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DhXwkGRWkAA11Qw.jpg:orig (Source: This Twitter thread, everyone else was at the Viz panel so so we got lucky to have someone at this one) Half of the Votoms titles have Blu-ray releases so it'll be interesting to see what they do here with those as well as the ones that didn't.
I wonder if these particular pickups are linked to Daisuki and that there's more coming? Weren't there a few more old Sunrise shows that were streaming there for a bit? |

And these titles:
Da Capo (all seasons and OVAs) Manabi Straight Minami-ke (all seasons and OVAs) Seitokai Yakuindomo (All seasons, OVAs, and movie) They Are My Noble Masters continue to go unnoticed. :/ |

Votoms finally getting rescued. DVDs long time been hard to get the complete american release. Human Crossing was decent. I'm glad Maria got quickly grabbed back up.

Hataraki Man is top-notch josei; I hope that it gets wider exposure through this.

Whoa! Yumeiro Patissiere is licensed?! Man, I haven't seen that show in YEARS. I really ought to get back to it, and now I have an excuse to do so! I am SO buying the DVD sets when it comes out!

It seems like it would be, but looking at most of the LGBTQ community's online discourse concerning yuri, Maria-sama ga Miteru tends to get a pass on that. It might be because it was so formative for the "yuri for actual lesbians" fanbase in the west, or because the vast majority of the depictions of girls going on to marry men occurred within the girls' parents' generation (and thus allowing for the interpretation that "practice romance" was more "the way things regrettably used to be" rather than "the way things inevitably are now" in-universe). It could even be due to the fact that the author eventually spun off all the major male characters into their own light novel series that followed the protagonist's younger brother's own student council adventures at the all-boys school down the road. Whatever the case, I look forward to inevitably buying this series for the third time, although I doubt I'll ever listen to it in English, for pretty much the same reasons that have been already mentioned in this thread. I'm also very excited for some of these giant robot titles. |

I see. If that is the trend with Maiden Japan I wonder if they might license Fullmetal Alchemist as well as FMA Brotherhood down the road along with an anime titled Shugo Chara! by Satelight. Also, this is the first I have heard of the anime Den-no Coil but reading the summery it seems kind if interesting. |

Both FMA series belong Aniplex. No one else will be able to license them. They’ve been slowly taking back any series that Sentai or Funimation licensed from their Japanese parent. |

Yes, it’s the same reason Sentai lost Angel Beats and Funimation has been slowly losing Black Butler, season by season. Aniplex of Japan also hasn’t licensed any shows to another company in a few years, with the exception of the last Black Butler season. |

Some of those 80s titles could have been Discotek licenses.

Man these are some licenses. So Maiden Japan has acquired the license for Marimite from TRSI?
But this line up of old robot shows. So much stuff I doubt my budget will be able to buy it all. LOL. But archiving the older shows are important. Now I'm waiting for 'Panzer World Galient' (never released) and 'Southern Cross' (which was released some years ago). Good news to hear. |

Probably will rebuy Maria-sama on BD. I think I have most of the JP audio dramas on CD.
It was great that the audio dramas had the same cast as the anime. |

Not bad at all--I watched the whole series not long ago. Speaking only for myself, I keep a handful of similar series around (Rumiko Takahashi Anthology is another) and give them a good view whenever I'm overdosed on moe, harems, and tsun-/yan- dere types. Kinda like one of those Listerine breath strips... But overall, I'm quite pleased that old school titles are being made available. |
