Nice; I was not expecting this to ever get licensed. Dub or not, I think I'll get this.

She's actually trying to stop him from finding a way to make all females stop aging at around 12....not immortality.

Holy poop on a stick! I thought that when Geneon (who helped producing Dokuro-chan) went under, this series would never see the light of day over here.

I can't really say I think this is a good thing. This is definitely more junkfood TV. Isn't licensing stuff like this whats causing some of the financial woes of the American anime industry to begin with? Who is buying this? lol Is that question one best not asked?


Actually, you've got your thinking cap on backwards there, chief.

This is the sort of series that tends to ALWAYS prop up a licensor's catalog. It's brief, it's entertaining, it's not an expensive license, and it's mass-marketable.

The formula of absurd, violent, and potentially lewd comedy has worked well for anime like Excel Saga, Dominion Tank Police, Project A-ko, Dragon Half, Grenadier, the Burn Up franchise, Agent Aika, Amazing Nurse Nanako, and the list goes on.

Sometimes you folks need to be reminded that there were a lot of us out there who thought that the best thing ADV ever did was include the Jiggle Counter on DVD's.

Although unlikely, I'd like to see a dub of this. Just ask ADV for the guys who did Excel Saga.

Imagine if this were advertised on TV...

Considering how short this is, and the fact that it most likely will only be released on one DVD(two if the 2nd season is picked up), there is a higher chance that this will be dubbed compared to other titles they have. Least I would think so.

Ever since I heard about this title years ago I was interested. And now that it is planned for an R1 release I am still interested.

i see no reason for a dub. it certainly wouldnt be to show it on TV-- what was the last comedy that made it on? Tenchi Muyo?
