Really Sentai? No releases with a dub at all? Nothing to look forward then...

Who cares? If they bothered to license something this old, then there's hope for several other obscure 2000's anime being licensed here yet! Very Happy

This article doesn't mention the tease Sentai put in their mailing list message. For that matter, it's a pretty huge one.

Tell that to Maiden Japan, they license even more obscure anime in comparison. Or Discotek Media for that matter.

It's for us old people, clinging feebly to our memories of youth. (It's a bigger market than you might think.)

Oh wow, my body is ready for LotGH on bluray. If that and Made in Abyss get preorders at the same time I’ll be so happy.

I do wonder if this might mean that Softcel might get the other Pia Carrot OVAs.

I feel like this is a decade too late. Like had it been picked up in '07/'08 I would have been like "ok". There is a good chunk of me happy that older IPs still get some modern love and picked up, but the rest of the chunk is asking "why?" I do remember Pia Carrot having a short heavy following though around the turn of Y2K in the English-speaking world so I kinda feel it missed it's hey-day.

I mean if we're going to dig back this far into some of these older game IPs can we get Kakyuusei? Or since a new YU-NO series has been announced can we get the YU-NO OVAs?

LOL, my first thought when I saw the headline was "eh...isn't that a hentai?" Good to see Sentai digging up something older though, even if it's completely random (they do tend to do that a lot don't they?).

Personally, I think the Hentai version of this one is better. shorter too and quicker to the point.

I still remember people going "Huh???" when stuff like Shadow Skill TV and Ghost Sweeper Mikami got picked up, but I'm glad they did. This is probably an even weirder, seemingly random choice, but I'm all for unexpected old titles getting a pick up.

Imo an upgrade over the VHS-rip or very early LQ DVD-rip Pia Carrot 2DX fansubs is worth looking forward to.

One of my old favorites, along with the OVAs. Smile
