Some people still do if there is a good enough reason to do so. I generally will get singles if I know the box set has the extras cut or if it is cheaper for me to buy the singles then buying a boxset or sets of the series. |

Only if there is an incentive to do so, on my part. (Certain factors can include a nice artbox to house those singles, or if it's a series I really really like and am willing to fork the cash to support the show.) As for the announcement in general, good for those who wanted it. It's also nice to see them dubbed. (The whole "this show doesn't deserved to be dubbed in comparison to 'Better Show #41'" viewpoint is a slippery slope to follow, in my mind.) I am interested in both shows - I've wanted to Watch Ikki Tousen for a long time now, and some of the female character designs for Queen's Blade look really attractive (particularly Nanael  ). It's been a long time since I've seen a title that could qualify as a guilty pleasure.

Well, that sucks. Guess I'll stop holding out for a Moribito release on Blu-ray. It's a pity since that show really deserves to get the best treatment possible. |

A good day for fans of fan service shows, it seems

I find it a little interesting that a company has licensed two new series, and given fans what they've been clamouring for - a dub - and there's still complaints.
While I have pretty much no interest in either show (though I've debated buying some figures of Nanael, she's so cute) I'm glad that Media Blasters has decided to dub these. Hopefully it sells well enough that they can start dubbing more titles down the road. I'm guessing that these shows will do fairly well, seeing as how they are Fighting Boob Shows, and Fighting Boob Shows seem to appeal to more casual fans than something like, say, Lucky Star. Call me nuts, but the casual fan probably wouldn't enjoy watching a bunch of highschool girls talking about the best way to eat chocolate cornets. Oh, and to answer Mario's question - myself personally, as long as it comes with a nice artbox to hold them, I will almost always buy singles over thinpack sets. Especially if it's Funimation. They have beautiful artboxes for single sets, but their new half season/full season sets are atrocious. Last edited by Quark on Thu Nov 05, 2009 9:34 pm; edited 2 times in total |

Both series aren't very good choices and didn't rate very high with me, but I'll buy Ikki Tousen: Great Guardians since I have or intend to buy the other two series in the franchise, so I might as well complete the trilogy. It wasn't as entertaining as the other two were though.
Someone has to keep Media Blasters alive long enough in the fragile state of the industry, so that I can get the remainder of Moribito and Ikki Tousen: Dragon Destiny.... Otherwise, no, I don't buy singles anymore. Last edited by Kruszer on Thu Nov 05, 2009 9:41 pm; edited 3 times in total |

Hell yeah. It puts the collecting back in anime. That's what got me into it in the first place.
I'm hoping that FUNi's Blu-ray releases do well. Maybe Media Blasters will rethink their ways. I'm more than willing to fork out cash for some HD anime releases, just give me something I'm interested in though. Moribito would be some prime stuff. |

The problem I have with mania is that the moderators are WAY too strict. |

This was my initial reaction as well, then I gave it some thought and changed my tune on this. They have put out a lot of shows that are not for me (Queen's Blade is probably one of them). But I must give them credit for first putting out shows like Moribito, (which they are releasing at a good pace) Ah My Goddess, Figure 17, Otogi Zoshi, (the first arc) and Simoun. I do wish they had released a dub for Simoun - but the sub is okay. |

The thing that got me looking at Queen's Blade was the figures. I started collecting the figures because they appealed to me. All of the ones I have are unique. Now that this it is getting license here I can start collecting this series. I also like collecting art boxes and singles. I won't get season box sets unless there is no other way to get the series. But the one character that started my fascination with Queen's Blade was Nanael. So to me this is one series I will pick up.

Oh...sweet...Jesus
 !!!
"Queen's Blade" gets licensed, yet "Kamen no Maid Guy" and "Nagasarete Ariantou" haven't. Something's really wrong here. |
