As expected, because it "regionless". Try that with a restricted R1 and let me know how you got on. If you can still see it, congratulations, your mother and mother-in-law have a multi-region DVD player. :wink:

Being winked at when you are being patronised by someone who is saying something completely wrong is quite frustrating ^^;

I think that is now officially called "being Mohawked".

Trailer for the Gundam SEED HD Remaster...posted in 240p and 360p...

Feels kinda shameless, remaking an anime that was made ten years ago, surely? I mean, it looks nice but it it's a straight to blu-ray release, it'll be expensive.

i'll still end up buying it either way

Siren Visual licence the sequel to When They Cry - Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Ka

released sub only beginning March 2012

Is it just me, or is Australia kicking US butt in cool licenses right now?

 

[Rui]

Ok, I definitely need to get my stuff together and make a big Siren order in March. Absolutely fantastic pickup. I'd long given up hope for an English subtitled release anywhere.

If a UK company wants to announce it before then, I'll buy it here instead

Think that's the first Australia release i've wanted. Though I wonder if this an upcoming sign that Sentai has got the series itself for America.

While I would also like a UK release, I doubt it's going to happen since I can't recall the first being released here.

Haven't seen this posted yet.
Eureka Seven is going to get a sequel in April 2012:

Siren Visual licence the sequel to When They Cry - Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Ka

released sub only beginning March 2012

If they will be able to release even Monster and Legend of the Galactic Heroes, then they will become my anime idols.

Will the tumultuous trio of adopted children still be present in the sequel, à la Zeta Gundam?

Will the tumultuous trio of adopted children still be present in the sequel, à la Zeta Gundam?

Hey, those children had a perfectly good storyline. Unlike the Gundam brats.

 

[teonzo]

If they are taking the Zeta Gundam route, then the first thing to add should be bright-slaps.

…a perfectly good storyline.

Alas, they themselves were part of it.

 

[ilmaestro]

Eureka 7 sequel, fairly interesting news.

Relatively cheap way of buying Higurashi Kai? Megaton. Where do I sign up?!

Siren Visual licence the sequel to When They Cry - Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai

released sub only beginning March 2012

Automatically bought seeing as it's my favourite anime series of all time and have been waiting for this to get licensed for a long time ^_^

 

[ConanThe3rd]

Edit: Manga have announced their Boxing Day releases and, of course, Dragonball Z is no where to be seen.

…a perfectly good storyline.

Alas, they themselves were part of it.

Number of Gundam Brats who's storyline involved them putting a shotgun to their adoptive mother?

Penfold, sush.

On the MANGAUK Twitter, they confirmed in a tweet that they're releasing Hetalia: Paint It White next year.

 

[Joshawott]

Final Rebuild of Eva film in 2013. Also, English title of 3.0: "Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo".

I'm guessing Anno looks at that title and thinks "Challenge accepted".

 

[ilmaestro]

Chances they stick to that and don't have it slip to 2014...

 

[mangaman74]

Chances they stick to that and don't have it slip to 2014...

If Manga are their usual reliable self then it will be out here in say......2016 (maybe).

 

[Zin5ki]

I Can (Not) Unsee.

NISA has licensed Brave10 for home video release! Yes!

(Less depressed CR has region locked the stream now, though still hoping AoD has it somehow!)

[Just Passing Through]

Sentai has licenced the other region blocked one. Ano Natsu De Matteru

Here's a Brave 10 link too.
