Finally!! I was waiting for so long for this to get a NA release. Though I am bummed out that its only sub. I would also have loved a BD release--but I think there is no BD even in Japan so w/e. Wanted dub though >.<

...well now this is surprise but since it's such along series I can understand not giving a dub "in before sub only is killing the industry, go die sentai", just be happy you whiners. Also I am thinking the finical risk are to high for 50 plus episode anime despite how big the fan-base is, this is around 200 dollar investment alone for the sub only dvd's

I was assuming that because Sentai released the first season that it would also release Reverse, but it's nice to have it all official like. It is a pity there's no BD because it is a visually interesting show, imo, but it'll still look pretty good on DVD.

I'm happy to hear that the first release sold enough for Sentai to want to release the next. It's good to see that the "fringe", non-booby* titles can still turn a profit.

* (Nothing against ecchi - to each their own and I know it helps line the North American anime industry's pockets.)

This makes me wonder exactly how poorly Glass Mask sold to not even be worth having it's second half released. Neutral Not that a comparison can really be made between any of the other shows and Glass Mask, but jebus man.

Trust me, I still wonder that too, since it's going on three years since Collection One was released. I know Sentai said a little while back that they were "working" on a way to get the second half to us, but never elaborated on that and nothing has been seen since. Crying or Very sad

I know Crunchyroll streams the whole series on their site, but I really, REALLY want to have both halves in my collection and be able to watch it on DVD whenever I want, not just watch half and then have to go online for the rest. Again. And again. AND AGAIN.

I would love to have it too. I love how much anime is available legally online, but the problem is that licenses expire and eventually shows are taken down.

I wonder if since Glass Mask is such a popular title in Japan it cost a lot to license in America?
