Re: Unreleased Licensed U.S. Anime Properties
Anything new on the Fist of the North Star releases?
There was something about four box sets which seems a little odd way to divide the series; I can see HnK2 on it's own box set but the first series is already divided into four chapters. |

via ANN / Official Press Release
NIS America, the American subsidiary of the Nippon Ichi Software game company, has announced on Thursday that Toradora! will be its first anime license for North America. The company will also release Pandora Hearts, Persona -trinity soul-, and Our Home's Fox Deity. (Wagaya no Oinarisama.) NIS America will make collector's items available for its anime releases. Release dates and pricing have not yet been announced. The Toradora! anime adapts Yuyuko Takemiya and Yasu's light novel series of the same name. In this "superdreadnought of love comedies," a high school sophomore named Ryūji Takasu is ostracized because his angry-looking eyes make him look like a troublemaker. Meanwhile, there is a tiny but ferocious girl named Taiga Aisaka who is also shunned — even by her own family — as the "Handheld Tiger." Taiga agrees to help Ryūji get closer to his high school crush, if he helps her get close to her own crush. The 10th and final volume of the light novels shipped last March, and the anime adaptation ran on Japanese television from 2008 to 2009. |

What's the status of the Dirty Pair?
I have the original 10-part OAV series on VHS from ADV, plus the longer OAVs and movie on Streamline's VHS editions (AFFAIR ON NOLANDIA, FLIGHT 005 CONSPIRACY and PROJECT EDEN). I just learned that ADV put them all out on DVD, but they're now out of print. Anyone planning to release/re-release them? What about other Dirty Pair entries? I'm particularly keen on getting subtitled editions of the original Dirty Pair TV series from 1985. Was that ever licensed for the U.S.? (I'm not interested in the Dirty Pair Flash series.) Thanks. |

Re: Unreleased Licensed U.S. Anime Properties
Any word on a BD release of Xam'd: Lost Memories? I've been watching it on AFtv (http://www.animefreak.tv/watch/xamd-...ed-online-free) since PSN expects me to pay $3.99/episode to merely rent the series. :rolleyes: I would love to buy a full series set on BD but there doesn't seem to be any. At least not with English subtitles (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-...n-70-3fby.html). And the only news I've seen of a US BD release was back in July (http://www.asianblurayguide.com/news...s_coming_soon/). :(

Thank you, WTK. I appreciate the information.
Sorry about the link. I didn't realise it was wrong to post it as I assumed the site was kosher. |
