Always nice to see another Amazon show rescued. Hope we’ll see Wotakoi, Inuyashiki, and After the Rain, etc licensed.

I’m surprised Dive!! is the third Amazon exclusive to get licensed, given how unpopular it was. I bet Funimation will pick up Rage of Bahamut Virgin Soul soon. Hopefully Inuyashiki and Re:Creators get licensed soon too.
Edit: I forgot that PonyCan USA has the home video license for Welcome to the Ballroom and Yuki Yuuna season 2, so Dive!! is actually the 5th Amazon show to be licensed for home video.

I would not assume that PCUSA is going to actually release Ballroom and YYH S2 on disc.

Huh, I had no idea why I thought this would go to Aniplex of America or PonyCan USA would get the home license to Dive!!. Embarassed

Oh well, glad to see these shows are getting a second chance of being seen legally. I know not everyone feels guilty about this, but I didn't want to watch shows that might of never gotten a chance at a home release.

I agree. PonyCan USA has a habit of licencing shows and either taking forever to release them, or does not release them AT ALL. Rolling Eyes
And even when they do it always feels like they could be SO MUCH BETTER! (Like including a dub)

Yeah, but they still have the license.

I don't think that is the case for Yuyuyu S2. They never announced anything about it being licensed.

I personally liked Dive well enough back when it first aired. I didn't think it was the greatest anime ever but I thought it was enjoyable enough and I wouldn't mind picking this up on BluRay.

As expensive as AoA has for their home video releases, at least they have a better history of releasing their titles on home video than PCUSA.

^True but only slightly better as there are some AoA titles from a few years back that still never got disc releases here.
