Book of Bantorra, huh?


Sounds rather interesting to me. I might give it a shot.

Awesome, great show but I didn't think it would ever get licensed.

According to the PR statement Hamyuts Maseta is the Chief. That's not true. She's only the Deputy Chief. This turns out to be very relevant in later episodes.

Also, glad this was licensed. It's a very underrated show, and I didn't think North American licensors even had it on their radar. Maybe Sentai got it cheap?

Yeah.

Same here, I even put it in the suggestion box on that recent Funimation poll thing I'd thought it had been forgotten, glad it finally got picked up, it was ashame seeing this underrated and overlooked for so long I loved this show and I'm glad it's getting a dub too even, as Teufel also said, this was great news, I thought it had been too long to even be on anyone's radar anymore as you said.

It's also got a very western/international friendly setting and characters plus a surprisingly detailed history and magic system, kind of like FMA's detail with alchemy.
