I miss the days when license announcement were met with cheers instead of complaints...

My reaction was precisely thus: "Yay! Blue Drop! Oh... Sentai."
It took how long for the second YUA series to get licensed? I recall ADV going out of their way to get hold of the original AnimEIGO/Coastal actors when they did the movie and mini-specials. |

Personally, I welcome our new sub-only overlords.

I'm glad to see the 2nd season of You're Under Arrest finally being brought over. I was a little surprised that Animeigo didn't pick it up years ago since they had the 1st season. At any rate, the lack of a dub does not affect my enjoyment of this release.
November is shaping up to be an expensive month for me. There are seven half-season (12 or 13 episode) releases that I'm going to buy now, plus another Hayate disc and the 1st Eva movie. At least as things currently stand. Last edited by larinon on Wed Sep 02, 2009 1:15 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Polyphonica? I'll buy this if it's the original show and not this year's remake, which I couldn't finish.
[rant] And I suppose I'll have to put up with those idiotic new "stack" boxes that take up more room, use more resources, make it harder to get discs out, take longer to get the disc you want, virtually force you to leave the discs out and unprotected as you marathon through the series, and allow for damaging discs far more easily. I'm not sure what it requires for someone in a company to make that many mistakes in judgment and create packaging that is hostile to customers plus the environment. But whatever it is, they obviously have plenty of it. [/rant] Polyphonica wasn't "great", but it was decent if you enjoy the genre. I buy because I watched it, as a way for me to give money to the creators. Not to get better quality--though that is often the case for subtitles and usually for video unless subbers have released a R2 DVD version. It isn't a fan service show (not ecchi anyway), so the DVDs will likely be the same as broadcast besides some clean-up. It wasn't well-supported in fansubs (the original or the remake), so the DVD video quality should be better. I'm mostly a sub fan anyway, so I don't feel like I lost something because there's no dub. The only question is which version it is. I'm assuming they would have titled it Crimson, like the Japanese release, if it were the remake, unless they want to be sneaky 
EDIT: Scratch that buy. Just thought to click the link, and they are being sneaky. It's Polyphonica Crimson, a different show that looked far less interesting. Last edited by pparker on Wed Sep 02, 2009 1:15 pm; edited 2 times in total |

I'm excited over the YUA Season 2. However, I hate the fact that Sentai got it because they never produce dubbed anime. I was kind of hoping for a Bandai release.

Same price? Aside from Sgt. Frog, all of FUNi's 13-episode sets are $60 MSRP (sometimes $50 MSRP, but that's usually only for long series like One Piece, and Sgt. Frog's sets are surprisingly only $40 MSRP). Sentai's sets are $40 MSRP, so the price is generally lower. Now Bandai's release of Hayate, now THAT'S a whole different story. Anyway, only title I'll intersted in and will definitely be buying is Tears to Tiara, which I'm thrilled has been licensed (so glad fantasy anime seems to be getting more frequent in Japan, hopefully Guin Saga will be licensed soon). So Clannad AS, Ghost Hound, and Tears to Tiara, Sentai definitely has some strong titles coming I will definitely pick up. 
einhorn303 wins for the Simpsons reference.

BLUE DROP! I am so buying that. I never believed that would ever get licensed.
Yeah, yeah, subs. I don't care. The market won't support expensive dubs for everything. Blame the economy. Whatever. Meanwhile, I get a complete series with subtitles for $39.98 where before i had to pay nearly that for four or five episodes of something. |

I believe those are only for the cheap re-releases, and not new shows. |

The MSRP for the first Ghost Hound set is 60$... Anyway, hurray for more licenses, even if there isn't a single show I have seen or even want to see. |
