Cool! This is a title that seems interesting to me when I've heard/read about it.

Looking forward to seeing this.

I hope this means we'll be hearing an announcement on the also Diamond Previews announced/Geneon denied Maria Sama ga Miteru.

Bah, Harry Potter is a rip off of more than several mythologies, fantasies, and fairy tales, not to mention coming of age romances. So Zero no Tsukaima has a few similarities to Harry Potter, I won't condemn it, it still tells it's own story. And I actually really like the show, I was looking forward to the second series, so now that it's coming to DVD I'm excited about that too.

That would make me a happier anime fan than almost any other possible announcement.. oh wait... ok a close second to the earlier Honey and Clover news. Very Happy

I know that I like the show too. That was the reason why I liked the show so much was because it was like in the harry potter world. I mean they even have the hipogriffs! (SP) I wonder how Lousie's voice is going to dub is going to sound like.

I think it's funny to think how such a typical old setting like the usual "magic school" or "the magic apretince", soon became "Harry Potter's setting" and everything else is "a rip-off". Yeah, sure. Confused

Exactly. Harry Potter was a cliché from the get-go.

Either way, Zero no Tsukaima is one of my favourite comedies, so I can't wait to pick up the DVDs. I love how Geneon totally pulled a Sony the other day when Diamond Distributers listed it, but Geneon denied the license.

Meh. I thought the series was pretty mediocre. It was alright, so I may pick it up if I can get it for a good deal at some point.

Where's my MariMite and Nanoha? Sad

One one hand, I'm ecstatic that Zero's been licensed. But Geneon? I'd say that I haven't been happy with their releases lately, but that'd be a lie. I've never really liked their stuff. Laughing

Seriously, though. What's with Geneon getting most of the good releases recently?

Looks like Geneon really wants to milk the Shana franchise - was FSN really that big of a failure? =_=;;

Or her horse crop Twisted Evil

I loved this series and the jokes they used. I mean Staff of destruction, the magic book, etc. All utterly priceless

Now they just need to announce Nanoha season 1+2
