Cool! I hope this gets a US release, because I really liked the anime for Air when I first watched it.

Legit honest question: If you've seen the anime, is there anything to expect from this?

I would say there is. The anime was great, but very compressed. There's alot of plot points in the anime that suffer due to the 13 episode run time.

Two questions:
  1. English version? I'm not seeing anything about an English version here.
  2. Is the anime available in the West anymore? IIRC, Funimation rescued it from ADV, but at some point Funi's license lapsed. It doesn't stream, but Funi's site has the DVD (albeit with an "Almost Gone" banner).

1. The source I know said there was nothing in the works for an English release. But who knows!

2. Nobody picked up the rights after Funi let the rights expire. They only renewed Kanon.

Great news. Hoping for an English release. I also hope Kanon is on the cards next.

They normally mention the English language straight away (Island, Clannad, Little Busters etc) so I'm guessing English isn't supported this time. Sad
