Aniplex has been releasing some solid titles let alone the DVDs/BDs themselves have all been solid releases overall. Chances are I will be buying Madoka.
It also sounds like either the Bakemonogatari license fell through or they're still negotiating given their earlier update. What's really nice though is that Aniplex USA will be trying to keep up with their Japanese counterpart. This is really what a lot of companies need to start doing. Hopefully we see more of this kind of action in the coming years. |

Blue Exorcist was a given, but I didn't expect Madoka Magica. They just won AX in my eyes.

I'm nether a dub-purist nor a sub-elitist, but I don't see why they aren't doing a dub for Blue Exorcist. They are already running Drrrr! on Adult Swim. Blue Exorcist is the type of show that gets a lot of viewers on Adult Swim! This doesn't make sense to me. |

I just saw a review of Madoka, I am interested, but I'll only think about buying it, if they stream it first, because I don't like blind buying anything.

I haven't watched it either, but am very curious. I'll probably buy it blind too. |

Glad Madoka got licensed, not because I loved the show (I did), but because now I can cancel the imports and save some money. Not sure what to do with the 2 japanese volumes I imported now...

Yay Blue Exorcist on DVD, but no dub???
F you Aniplex you better dub it later. First Kimi ni Todoke then this why are my favorite series not getting a dub? They better give me some darn good extras if they are really releasing subbed only. Then again I probably won't but it anyways since I can watch it for free anytime I want to on Crunchyroll. |

I agree. It seems the series would be something Adult Swim will love to have if there was a dub. Blue Exorcist with no dub is saddening. |

I'm surprised that there won't be an English version of Blue Exorcist; it doesn't seem as narrow in its appeal as the sort of series that usually are left to subtitles.
Incidentally, where is the fact that it won't be dubbed into English stated? Is everybody inferring this from the fact that the trailer was in Japanese with subtitles and that it wasn't announced as such, or has the already precipitous decline in my reading comprehension accelerated to a truly alarming rate? I'm genuinely curious about Puella Magi Madoka Magica, but don't really know much about it. The quantity and nature of the attention that it's gotten make it stand out, but also make me innately skeptical. I'm guardedly keen to learn more about it. |

Oh wow! I'm surprised it got picked up so fast, guess I was expecting to go the way of Bakemonogatari (which apparently was a big hit? *hasn't watched it). I wonder who will bring it over to Australia! Siren brought over Durarara, but apparently Madman has the rights to Blue Exorcist (hey, whatever happened to that planned simulcast....?)? I'm guessing that if there's no dub it'll automatically fall to Siren ^^ Which will make me happy!!! *throws money at Siren*

Agreed, also shows like Blue Exorcist are just really fun to re-watch with a dub, just like both Fullmetals, Bleach, etc.. I really hope it ends up getting a Blu-ray and a dub if they get enough outcry from a huge show of that level not getting a dub (and a bd) to reach a wider audience (like all of those types of shows have in the US) otherwise I would have much rather Funimation get it as we'd be assured both for a title of this level, this is not some small market or niche show. If the report is accurate and they really specified only subtitle DVD and no blu-ray or dub release that's just ridiculously disappointing for a huge show like Blue Exorcist to me (I can't even believe we're not getting a Blu-ray for a show that looks this good visually  )...I'll wait for a second confirmation but that's just Bandai Visual level bad, Aniplex is just getting worse and worse after starting out pretty promising and after getting my hopes up with their big casting spree for the Durarara dub...I really thought they were going to "get" the US market (even if they had to sub-only certain niche shows)...
