Ok, so immediately after I saw that my company had reservation sku's for HXH, I shot them off an email. I had asked them if the reason why we now have reservation sku's available for the HXH anime is because we at the corporate/buyer level had received a notice/solicit that the HXH anime has been licensed by a US distributor for domestic release. The response came back today, and it was "Yes, they will be available soon. News to come..."
I was rather hoping they'd mention WHO licensed it, but oh well.
So while not exactly from the horses, this is good enough for me!
I gotta say, this is great news. I've always had 3 anime titles on a mental list that "should be licensed but probably never will". If this is true, that knocks the last of the 3 off that list (Flame of Recca and Hajime no Ippo being the other 2).
