That seems like a very quick turnaround. Probably too quick for a dub, I'm afraid. But I'm just so glad to be getting a DVD release period. <3 |

A very surprising with a dash of disturbing. I hope it works out for them and the company doesn't go under, as I love the games NISA brings over and such.
A video game publisher who usually publishes Nippon Ichi games like Disgaea. They also publish Gust game titles and more. Last edited by Haterater on Thu Feb 11, 2010 11:00 pm; edited 1 time in total |

The news that Toradora! has finally been licensed, in combination with Funi's earlier announcement about re-issuing FLCL, means that 2010 is already shaping up to be an epic year. I would love for Toradora! to be a hybrid because I'm intensely curious what an English version would sound like, but I'm such a huge Rie Kugimiya fan that I won't be devastated if it is sub-only.
And I'm thrilled to have a new player in the R1 distribution game. Best of luck, NIS America! |

HEGEBAWAH? Forget coming out of left field, this came from outside the freaking park! Who ARE these people anyway, I saw someone called them a video game company but I'm not into the video game area so I don't recognize them at all.
But a chance for me to get Pandora Hearts probably within a year? HOH YEAH AM I WITH THIS! |

I'm not really interested in Toradora!, but knowing that Pandora Hearts will be coming out soon is awesome news to me. ^^ I love almost anything with the "Alice in Wonderland" theme, so I'd love to check this out (especially dubbed, if they do that).

Wait, I hate being a downer here, but this is NIS America, the US subsidy of Nippon Ichi Software:
http://terminalgamer.com/2010/02/05/nippon-ichi-software-suffers-massive-operating-profit-drop/ that just posted a 95% drop in profits from last year? Hmm, a company with a freefalling parent corporation decides to get into the anime licensing business in this market? Why do I not see this ending well? That being said Toradora being licensed is great news. |

Toradora is a typical romantic drama (not comedy). It starts generically, gets crazy awesome in the middle, and sinks to an unbelievable level of fail towards the end.
Just how it is. I dropped it when it was coming out 2/3 of the way in. Predictable, but still kinda nice. Really not worth the hype, in my opinion. Also, waiting for dub tears in this thread. |

Yes I'd like to hear more. Funi is putting out Blu Ray versions for almost everything now, and on the cheap, like real cheap. Personally knowing something about it, I can't see how/why the process itself would be that costly. But back to the article: how exactly is NIS going to release these titles? There are no details here.... |

They could have had it under wraps for quite some time and waited so they could have dubbed it long before. But who knows what's happening in the background since a lot of it is up in the air. |

This is a certainly unexpected development. Personally, I think it's great to have another R1 player, at least for fans. It gives a much better chance of something I want being licensed, plus it gives me hope for a better variety of titles. The only downside I can see is that increased competition will likely mean more expensive licenses, which is good for the Japanese, but not good for Sentai, Funi, or Media Blasters. So it's a bit of a double-edged sword.
Also, Toradora is an excellent first pic. I had heard that Funi was really trying to get this one, so I had been expecting them to announce it fairly soon. So to hear NIS scoop in and grab it was a total shock. We still have a lot of questions that need answered, but I'm going to take this as good news for now. Sub or dub, I will be picking up Toradora. 2010 is shaping up to be a much better year than 2009! |

You're describing the second half. The first half was almost total comedy. |

Am I the only one who isn't happy with this news? Seeing how much of a failure their localizations for Disgaea 3 and Cross Edge are when compared to the original Japanese scripts, I really do hope that another company would have picked it up than NIS, considering how Toradora is one of my favourite shows.
