Sigh. An increasing amount of my time is being spent correcting Vata Raven's mistakes. Here is the full text of the email that NISA sent to him (her? - are you a dude or a chick, VR? I'm getting tired of not knowing which pronoun to use for you):
Their email makes clear they are NOT currently working on standard editions for AnoHana, Bunny Drop or Prince Enma. However, they also want to make clear that even though they aren't working on standard editions right now that doesn't mean they won't at some point in the future. That was the misunderstanding they were trying to clear up. My own prediction is that they eventually will release standard editions of all three titles. |

I don't reasonably expect the average non-Tagalog speaker to remember the title to Lino Brocka's "Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang" even though I think it's a particularly easy title to remember because I speak the damn language fluently.
Doesn't change the fact that no one will probably ever see it. That being said, I honestly didn't know this show's full title and mostly just referred to it as Denpa Onna: that show where that one lady goes behind her family's back and has a kid and then spends a lot of the 1st episode pretending that it didn't happen. (on that note, yes, that's part of why I consider the show a step above most other shows that seem like they kinda look like this show: it actually goes into a lot of interesting territory like that) People sure have a lot of time to be thinking about a whole lot of nothing when there's probably other issues regarding anime that require more attention, but then don't get it because people are more interested in the localized name of a damn show (I think I must be the only one who is still completely puzzled by Atsuko Ishizuka's involvement in her new show... was there really nothing more interesting for her to work on?). And here I was thinking that I had a lot of free time given that all I do everyday is play video games (and maybe watch anime).
As someone who has actually gone out of his way to buy all of Madoka off of Aniplex, a show that I'm not even sure that I like as much as everyone else, NISA's prices are incredibly reasonable in comparison. (and their game releases come with a lot of swag too, which is neat) But then, it might come down to the actual quality of the BD, which I'm just gonna assume is significantly better on Aniplex's side of things. |

It definitely makes more of an impression, but "psychoelectric girl" is a much better descrption of Misaka Mikoto from Railgun/Index than Erio. I don't remember Erio doing too much with psychos or electricity. Just how is "psychoelectricity" defined these days? ;p |

Yeah, so what? I act more like a man then most guys do, gender ain't got anything to do with anything. And yes, they're working on the standard releases. You honestly think this title could come out so fast, unless they've been working on it before they said they had it? No, because it takes a while to do all the work, they must've had this title for 3 months and did the work on it before saying they decided to say they have...and I'm sure this title is ready to go into mass print. In fact, I bet they already finished all the design work for their standard releases when they work on the limited edition. And there is no, "I predict the the standard will come", they WILL come out. They'd mostly come out in early 2013, by then, all the limited sets will be sold out. Other limited sets that have sold well, the standard comes out 6 months after RightStuf stops holding the item. Occult Academy came out 5/8/12 and the standard came out on 10/9/12, that's 5 months. Wagnaria's limited came out on 2/29/11, standard came out on 7/5/11, that's 4 months. Anything else that doesn't fly off the shelves, the standard comes out in a year. |

woah, relax Vata. Blood- did not know your gender and thus didn't know which pronoun to use when talking about you. I was simply informing him, nothing else

Gender means nothing over the internet. Don't think of anyone male or female, refer them as their screen name, that's what it's there for. I HATE being called female. |

If an AMV playing "Space Oddity" over (decently-edited) Denpa Onna footage doesn't come out these next few months, I'll be very sad-faced.
Happy to see this recognized for a U.S. release. It's one of those shows I've always been meaning to see more of beyond the first two episodes. Maybe I'll more or less blind-buy for this... |

Uh Vata, Blood- merely wanted to know if you were a man or a woman so they would know if they should use "he" or "she". They didn't want to keep calling you a guy if you were a girl as it's impolite.
