Very likely, I'd say, along with Chu2Koi Ren (both the titles from TBS this season).

Or, y'know, you could license every moeblob show to hit the airwaves. That works too.


Apollo I'd like to have your Best Buy here, ours only has Funimation boxed sets at $high and Viz titles. Nothing Sentai at all, haven't in about a year.

I suspect that titles like this sell well enough to keep the lights turned on.

Mark Gosdin

Same here: I heard about the Best Buy online sale on anime ($27.99 for a whole slew of Sentai blurays) and so when I was at my local BB for another issue I decided to take a look at their "anime" section and discovered that it was non-existent. I didn't see any Sentai anime and I barely saw any anime at all there. Best Buy has fallen to lows that I would never have-and didn't-contemplate just a few years ago.

This show has moeblobs, but they seem to look their age a bit more than do the average blobs, so I'm torn as to whether or not I should sigh and summarily dismiss this one or entertain the notion of giving it a "fair shake".

No, seems like it was a reference from the 1st episode, as pointed out by Sentai's twitter account.

Yeah... hopefully they'll come up with better clues next time.

Looking good, Sentai Filmworks keeps licensing titles I don't like.

All is right in the world. Laughing

Yeah, I hope they get that one too, although I'm really just wishing they would announce the home video release for the first season already. It seems like its taking forever!

Pretty surprised on the license. Not because of the Sakura Trick clue yet I question how good is a 4-stripe panel yuri comedy anime compared to an echii with k-on elements? (Can understand why). But for the fact its a nitro+ idol anime. Thought Funi would pick it up due to the Psycho-Pass bandwagon music wise. Though that does not change the fact it was with a contracter that accepts both companies. I might as well watch both of them down the line.

Magical Warfare has been my top fav license from Sentai.......so far. *edit*: week long announcment

Overall I got mixed feelings on this announcement. But after seeing the great pulls they got 3 seasons in a row IMO, they had to slide down a bit.

This is nothing like ADV. Sentai is a sub contracting license company. ADV was a Manga, Merchandise, TV/Streaming, Physical Distributing Company that was up too its ears in bad contract blood with another company overseas.

Good for you. Confused

Enjoying your NISA titles? You obviously are since your commenting on a Sentai Filmworks article.

But hey, its a free world (supposedly) and I'mkay with it. Laughing

I'm just happy that Sentai are picking up titles I can't see myself ever buying, that leaves more for NISA yeah, but also for Aniplex, Viz etc, which is good Smile .

I don't even get the point of this show. It's built around another boring and ditzy cute anime girl. With such a genric run of the mill character design. Oh she has big tits and pink hair! Never seen that before! About the only thing going on with her is she's a bit thicker which is good, but still plenty of other crap fanservice shows fit that bill. On top of all this the show dosent even have fanservice to make up for the mundane slog that is watching the show.

Jesus just watch porn people.
