Sentai has just licensed Motto To-Love-Ru
Funimation has revealed that the second season of Sora No Otoshimono will now be DVD-only (was formerly a combo pack).
...I wouldn't have minded so much normally, but season one is a combo pack, so this seems insane. It's coming out unusually quickly so presumably they got into problems with the Japanese side and had to hold it back for ages after spending all the money preparing it, but I think I'll wait for the inevitable combo pack down the line now ^^;
A strange situation, and perhaps a worrying sign of trouble if they can't hold it back for the release they were planning.

That's pretty lame. I guess Funimation decided that dropping the BD was a better course of action than delaying the release.Rui said:
Better news is that B Gata H Kei is region-free. I expect vashdaman to be placing an order forthwith!
I see. I'll have to give it a go. But seriously like O.M.G., whoevs wrote that plot description needs to totally like, get slapped with a super wet fish.
Code Geass: Nunnally in Wonderland OVA announced (What the f---...is that LELOUCH?!). Also, "Code Geass: Bōkoku no Akito" will be in 10 cinemas in Japan this summer..

Wait, what? NEW show? Isn't Wild Force like ... way old?
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion movie adaptation of the original anime announced.
More humorously, the stage musical. "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion - A Prelude Dedicated to the Sorceror-" will have an all male cast. Bye bye hot C.C. and Kallen xD

Not terrifically surprising given the fan demographics of both Code Geass and anime-related musicals...
nobody minds Takarazuka having all-female casts for their shows, do they? A male C.C. could definitely work for me.Sad to see it will probably have finished its run before I can go and see it! It will probably be a glorious trainwreck but not something that screams "buy me" on disc...

By film do they mean like...Eva 1.11 style? Because there's no mention of live-action there.

Been thinking of getting the Austalian boxsets for a while now, since it worked out cheaper then the used copy I saw on ebay. But now I can get the Media Blasters release instead.
Why has Orange-kun not had his own series yet?
Funimation is suing Sentai/S23 in the US over the ADV incident...

Somehow, I don't think this is going to end well, and it certainly isn't a good sign for the anime industry.

Given ADV only survives thanks to a rather ******** loophole in Texas law, I can't say I'm overly sympathetic if Funimation's busting down the door(s).
