London Comic Con - May 2015 Licenses

Ian Wolf said:
Also, talk of trying to release Free!, but they are waiting until they can get it released on Blu-Ray. May also try to get Yowamushi Pedal, and would consider Sailor Moon, Assassination Classroom, Silver Spoon and possibly Gintama.

Man, if they released Gintama, that would be great. It would take them a while to release it all though. There are over 250 episodes and it's still airing now.
 
I'll judge ANimatsu on the quality of the Nadia release, and if it impresses me then i'm down for all of their licenses barring Triage X
 
MVM's Fate announcement is kinda more exciting than any of those 'Manga' Sentai repackagings (even though I don't really care for UBW). Might buy that locally since I'm not really up for a massive LE.

Definite Purchases:
Durarara!! x2
Fate/Stay Night unlimited budget works
Parasyte the Maxim
Aldnoah Zero (It's my guilty pleasure...)

Maybes:
Fusé: Memoirs Of A Huntress
Madoka Movies (For brother #1)
Knights of Sidonia
Dragonball Z Resurrection 'F' (For brother #2)
Golden Time (For brother #1)
 
That's a lot of licences. I'll definitely be getting Durarara X2, Fate/Stay Night and the Madoka Magica Movies. Parasyte the Maxim and Index/Railgun are maybes. Not interested in the other licences.
 
Pretty happy with the licensces today. Madoka Movies, Fate/Stay Night, Parasyte, Durarara!! x2, and Love Live from the other day I'll be getting for sure. (Although I'll wait till next year for Love Live for the Dub version).

I do hope FSN will have dub though, I really enjoyed Fate Zero's dub.

A bit let down that the Naruto Road to Ninja movie wasn't announced but oh well, it's only a matter of time really.

Definite Buys:
- A Certain Magical Index / A Certain Scientific Railgun
- Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works
- Golden Time

Maybe Buys:
- Durarara!! x2 (I still haven't bought season 1 and I hope the JP home video release fixes those awful animation issues).
- Fusé: Memoirs Of A Huntress (The premise sounds interesting enough, but I want to learn more).
- Love Love! School Idol Project (will wait for the blu-ray though).

I would have bought the Puella Magi Madoka Magica movies, but I already own the Japanese Aniplex releases and while the TV anime's English dub was pretty good, I don't feel like double-dipping just for a dub.
 
Buys
Durarara!! x2 (depending on how it's released, seeing people mention 6 parts, if so then not a bloody chance)
Fate/Stay Night: UBW I hope they release it like they did Zero, nothing fancy but a nice lil box.

Maybe
Fusé: Memoirs Of A Huntress (Sounds interesting enough so wait and see, may just import tbh)
Knights of Sidonia (Again, may just import at this point)

Don't care about the rest. Sad thing is the most exciting things for me today were Andrew mentioning Gundam and Jerome mentioning GitS BDs and Gintama, even if the latter is very unlikely. Also surprised no one asked about Hellsing at the Manga panel.

Durarara!! x2

Well, Index and Railgun have been on my "maybe one day" list for a while, so a native Blu-ray release will probably knock them up to "get on release". Happy to see the latest DBZ movie, though I was hoping for a box or two of the other films released on blu-ray, but hey-ho...
 
Hot damn. Wasn't expecting much but pretty happy with the announcements we got. I was actually gonna buy Railgun and Index a few weeks ago, glad I passed it on it now! Also DBZ Resurrection F- not too long after the US release, so this is a theatrical license then? Awe-some!
