MangaUK to make big announcements soon

I'm suspecting K-On!, Hetalia, Madoka Magica, and at a push Mirai Nikki (although that's probably too early).

Kaze UK already have physical rights for Mirai Nikki. The rest of Hetalia is a given at some point, although I suppose it could still be one of these vaunted announcements!

Wandering Son?

When hell freezes over, I guess...

Not enough sexualisation of the issues for Manga, I guess.

Shame, as I absolutely love Wandering Son. Would have been awesome to see Beez release, as I imagined they might have...

They've already announced Paint it White and World Series for June and July this year... Is there more Hetalia than that? God i hope not!
 
Oi ;P

If they did bring xxxHolic s2 over I would forgive them everything and go back to buying their releases in a flash. It's always sort of annoyed me that I bought the UK version for xxxHolic and helped condemn it to mediocre sales in the US, which stopped the second series ever making an appearance in the west. It's a symbol of everything that is wrong with the current model of western anime licensing. If I'd know at the time, I'd have imported it and ignored Manga's version to help support the follow ups.

Wandering Son would be awesome but my dwindling hopes lie with NISA or Siren for that.

Different strokes for different blokes. I tried to get into Hetalia, but just couldn't.

To be honest I can understand at first I found it annoying-
They talked to fast and sometimes I didn't understand what they was talking aBout but after watching it up to the end of season 2 I thought it was funny cause of the stereotypes and making fun of other country's for it it's the south park of anime in a way
 
Deadman Wonderland, Spice and Wolf S2, K-On!! or Is This a Zombie? would be nice.

Not to mention Hellsing OVA 5-8.

I'd also love it if they got either (or both) of these! Slightly more realistic than Wagnaria as they're licensed by Funi...

Expecting Panty & Stocking to be one of them, after Jerome's last tweet.

Interesting. Does that mean British VAs or am I being overly optimistic?

No. Like Innocence, it is being dubbed in the US - it is both cheaper and easier to sell to the Americans unfortunately. Musashi is the most recent UK-recorded dub (other than Arrietty) but that was a bit of a special case.

No chance; it bombed for Manga badly enough that Jerome said he wasn't touching anything CLAMP again.

Manga said they had them before even FUNimation/Geneon announced them, but then backtracked.

I don't know if you've noticed but it takes time to actually make them fit for retail. It isn't as simple as licensing it and stucking it in a box.

Sometimes they can't even get THAT Right.
