One thing that I love aboout announcements like this, which it has in common with the announcement of the new Sailor Moon anime, is the overwhelming torrent enthusiasm. In what can be a wasteland of cynicism, complaining and petulant insistence on things being 'just so', something that just lets people be happy is an awfully nice relief.
Yeah, I mean, she could have at least used colors.
That could be an interesting interview. This seems like it might have been an extraordinary license, so I'm certainly curious if there's any interesting detail beyond the normal work needed to get a license to it. I'd like to know if this began as a cooperative effort between Nozomi and Viki, parallel efforts that happened to come together or a case of one drafting the other to help. It could be perfectly mundane, but that'd be no fun and not befit so legendary a title. I'd thought that Riyoko Ikeda was too, as the cruel informality goes, crazy for this to happen, yet she seems to be playing along, at least cursorily. (Perhaps that holds only for the manga) Quite the coup, Dark Lord Kleckner, quite the coup. Last edited by Surrender Artist on Wed Sep 12, 2012 12:48 pm; edited 3 times in total |

Hmm. I've heard of this anime quite often, but not much about it actually. Is it good, or just over-hyped? It looks super old, and somehow that makes me fear it doesn't have a happy ending.
Also, RightStuf, would you please fix this?
Come on, people. This is 2012, the world no longer ends at your country's border. Last edited by Kimiko_0 on Wed Sep 12, 2012 12:37 pm; edited 1 time in total |

AMEN. Times like this are when I love reading the forums the most.
Hahaha, when you first had posted "hyena" instead of "Utena," I was wondering what you were talking about. |

I am helpless in the face of the driving tide of enthusiasm for this title. Despite knowing virtually nothing about it, I plan to own (and then eventually watch) the crap out of it.

Question.
I know odds are that we're not getting an English dub for this show, considering both it's age and the fact that Nozomi has largely stopped dubbing their new releases. However, the show has been dubbed in several languages already, including French, Spanish, and even Arabic. Is it at all possible for Nozomi to include one or some of these other language tracks on their release? In particular, the French dub, as it would go along well with the French setting the anime takes place in. Just a thought.
"Cardcaptor Samurai"? Now THAT'S a show I'd be interested in!!

Well this is awesome! I guess I'll have to finally get around to reading the French omnibus edition of the manga I picked up a few years ago.

Yes yes yes! *Dances around*
I've bought so few anime lately, but this is a must have. I'm sure the sets will be just as awesome as the Utena ones too.

Well the show is from 1979 so it is old. As someone who has watched a lot of classic anime the animation is actually very good for the time period. Since it is a period piece the styling isn't so bad but it does look like 70s anime because it is. Is the show over-hyped? I don't think so but really that is opinion you would have try it yourself to see if you feel that way. It is if anything a hugely important work that influenced a number of titles to this day. The show takes place right before/during the French Revolution, it is going to have some implications in the ending. |

Exactly what I was going to say, though I would add that Marie Antoinette is one of the main characters (as well as other French royals) AND it goes up the French Revolution. So yeah, I can say without undue spoilers that some heads will literally roll. |

I'm now convinced that the Dark Lord Kleckner has magical powers!
I never thought I would see this licensed.
