キタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!!!!!

NIS, Can you license Chihayafuru next? I mean, as long as you are picking up stuff that everyone thinks will never be licensed?

But the biggest problem is the character Takako Kawajiri who throws random English sayings into her regular speech. I can't imagine how that would be translated into a believable adaptation.

Well there's that, and I can't imagine how they would translate Minchi's "Obiron!".

Awesome, long-overdue pickup by NISA. So glad it's gonna be released on BD too, I will be preordering it tonight.

How can you say you're not biased, right after saying you'll automatically enjoy it better dubbed? I don't think you know what that word means.

Anyway... nice hardcover booklet.

This did look like the kind of show NISA would pick up, so i am happy it's happened now. Another release i will be buying for sure. Smile

Yay! ^^;

I was very happy to read that NISA was picking up the license for Hanasaku Iroha. I was always a _little_ worried that Funi or ADV might have grabbed it, and that would have been terrible. Only NISA can do the series justice (well, Nozomi too, but they don't yet release Blu-rays), with their standard premium-release packaging providing a place for a lot of the material that was included in the small books that came with each Japanese BD. There's plenty of artwork for NISA to choose from, too.

I imported the BDs from Japan, and I'll definitely double-dip.

"Let" them? They obviously didn't want it, or they would have said something by now! I'm damned happy that they didn't want it.

Awesome. Great pick NISA. ^^

Dam it I hate NIS they dont dub anything

I'm in America, I don't enjoy dubs more.

Really glad to see NISA get this. I love their premium releases, and while I was pretty certain this show would get licensed, I was starting to wonder when it would finally happen. Good job NISA! Looking forward to owning this.

I'm going to agree with you here also it seems that nisa is getting more high quality series over a quantity of bad-ones.

Hanasaku Iroha was finally licensed? Sweet!
I just hope NIS does this right. *cross fingers.

It would be pretty hard for someone to screw up something as bare-bones as a sub-only release, especially since Crunchyroll already did the hard part. Although I wouldn't totally discount the possibility. S'More managed to do it.

Better than it not being released at all.

I'm oh so happy to see NISA grab this rather than someone else. Guaranteed really nice packaging, guaranteed great bonus items, and pretty much guaranteed BD if one exists in Japan.

LOL @ NISA premium editions being barebones. You must be comparing them to imports or something. You want barebones, purchase any release from Sentai.

I'm an American, I speak English, but I'd rather watch anything in its native language rather than dubbed. Plus, Funi would have dubbed it and done a BD but it's a toss up for Sentai. They might have pulled an Amagami SS/SS+ and given us sub only, DVD only, barebones packaging, and not even an insert sheet, let alone a hardcover art book.

Dear NISA,

I would like to register a complaint about your repeated failure to dub your shows. You really need to try and see this from the perspective of fans like myself. You see, I prefer to watch my anime in English and thus, would like to see a dub produced for every show I am interested in. And, there's obviously nothing wrong with that. However, being the thoroughly ignorant, and generally childish individual that I am, I pretty much mentally translate "I would like" to "I should be given" in any and all situations. It is therefore grossly disappointing to my tiny primate brain when you fail to do the same. Furthermore, I am utterly oblivious to the financial realities of the anime business and therefore take little solace in the fact that a dub would simply be financially impossible. Even though it has been explained to me numerous times, I just can't seem to wrap my head around this strange idea the dubs cost a lot of money to make. I thus live in a world where you licensing a show is akin to you somehow "taking away" a show's chance to be dubbed which, understandably, causes me great anguish and thus results in me repeatedly running to the forums to whine and complain about your lack of dubs.

Despite all this, I believe that we do in fact have several options available to resolve this issue and immediately dispel the animosity between us. They are as follows:
#1) You could stop living in the real world. Instead, come and live in my little bubble world with me! Here, dubs are free. It doesn't matter how obscure a show is or how few copies it will actually sell. You license something? You dub that shit. It ain't even a question. You won't be alone either. Geneon and ADV live here too! (Er...did live).
#2) You could simply leave the market. Just stop licensing anime. Leave it all to Funimation. And don't worry, when they predictably proceed to not license shows like this because Funimation only does dub releases and is not a resident of bubble world, I'll make sure to run to the forums on a regular basis to whine "why isn't Hansaku Iroha licensed!!!" It'll be great fun and it should provide ample grounds for forum whining as I am wont to do.
#3) I could simply pull my head out of my arse and stop being such a colossal tool. Of course, this third option is obviously not going to happen though so please give serious consideration to the other two in the future.

Sincerely,

Anime Fans.

Even though it's only Jan. 10, nominations for Post of the Year are closed. We have a winner.

i think he wins the internet

I really enjoyed this show. So happy to see it get dvd release.
