Bout time, come on squid girl season 2

Unless it gets released in America or Australia first, i highly doubt we'll receive season 2 of Squid Girl.

And considering Media Blasters...

I dunno how they are still around, they seemed to lose a whole bunch of licensees and cancel others yet are still here. I don't see us getting Squid Girl S2 unless they go under to release it to others.

Oh god, the new DBZ blu-rays look WORSE than the orange bricks. I didn't even think that was possible :eek: They've been DNR'd to hell and back, when you combine that with the cropping it makes this release worthless.

Other than that furry thing, the level of detail doesn't look too bad and it does look a lot cleaner.
If those screenshots are accurate they look to have re-done the P&S since there's more top and less bottom on the BD.

I personally think it looks too unnaturally clean, I like my film grain! :p The orange bricks really suffered since the DNR process they used often lead to missing lines of animation, which was really jarring. It feels like they're trying too hard to make DBZ look like a modern digipaint show.
 
I'll throw it here instead. Seems that ANN are reporting that Anime Limited now own all the rights to Samurai Flamenco, so i imagine we should probably expect physical releases coming from them from next year maybe. Sounds good to me

Lovely stuff. Enjoyed it thus far (dat opening).

EDIT: For those who couldn't get it, UP1 are selling the K-ON movie with the Oyster card holders: http://dsa.ebay.co.uk/sch/up_ltd/m.html ... ksid=p3686

Awesome! But I'd like to see Aniplex's version first before I decide with the UK version.
 
Am I the only one who's slightly disappointed with Samurai Flamenco? I had high expectations and kind of went in expecting something like Tiger & Bunny.
So far it just seems to be one of those average shows.

Well I have yet to watch Tiger & Bunny so I can't really say whether it's better or worse but I did watch SF without any plot details (I went blind like Kill la Kill).

Sentai Filmworks have also recently licensed Meganebu!. The bonus announcement has yet to be revealed but judging by the recent MVM Familiar of Zero announcement, people (especially those on Fandom Post) have speculated that Seasons 2/3 are the bonus licenses as they were never licensed in USA.
 
Oh sweet, nice to know Sentai already have more sub BDs planned.
I'd probably be interested in getting Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate, and trying Hidamari Sketch since there's going to be a BD re-release.
 
This calls in question my prior Sentai DvD purchases, though to be fair no one could of predicted they'd turn around and do a ton of BD with added dubs.

Though I note Hidamari doesn't get a dub (might not work to be fair), I wonder if this BD upgrade program they've got going is why we've not seen S4 of Hidamari on DvD yet?
 
The final two announcements before the bonus is the second season of Little Busters! aka Little Busters! Refrain and Log Horizon (it's like .hack and SAO in terms of setting).

The 10 licensed titles from SF are as follows (in order of license):
01 - Diabolik Lovers
02 - Golden Time
03 - Infinite Stratos 2
04 - Beyond the Boundary
05 - Phi-Brain - Puzzle of God: Season 3
06 - Outbreak Company
07 - Non Non Biyori
08 - MEGANEBU!
09 - Little Busters! Refrain
10 - Log Horizon
?? - (not in the current season, not a rescue license)

Note that Time Bokan: Royal Revival doesn't contribute to the 10+1 announcement, the 10 shows only refer to the current season.
 
Isn't Sentai the one's MVM got a bunch of titles off? Can probably put a definite on IS2 coming over here eventually if so.

Wouldn't mind Golden Time coming over here (though it's unlikely) ..and though I haven't seen Outbreak Company or Beyond The Boundary, I could see them as potential licenses.

Could the ??? be Familiar Of Zero?
 
Just checking Rightstuf and it looks like Berserk is expected to reprint on Nov 15 2013. Coincidently Crunchyroll and Dark Horse just made an announcement on Berserk's reprinting:

Happy Halloween! There's good news for fans of terrifying manga as North American publisher Dark Horse has announced that Kentaro Miura's medieval horror epic Berserk is returning to print. Soon, it won't be such an arduous quest to track down missing volumes of the bleak, low epic.


Also, we're reprinting all volumes of #berserk -- no more paying $90 on eBay for v 12 or whatever. http://t.co/B8JONj6OZm #manga #carlhorn

On their site, the publisher comments...
Three (well, actually, more like thirty-one…see below ^_^) Dark Horse manga books just hit the stores. First, Berserk. We know that many of the volumes of this series have been hard to find in recent months, and we're pleased to announce that we've reprinted all the volumes that were low in stock (which was nearly all of them). That's part of the good news…and the other part is that the reason so many volumes of Berserk became low in stock is that we just passed the three-quarters-of-a-million mark in series sales! If you're a fan, you know Berserk is a genuine epic that deserves its success (I say, use Berserk to get Game of Thrones fans into manga), but if you're a fan, you're also one of the people who's made it a success, so thank you once again!

Meanwhile, Okami-san LE is still available (I thought it wasn't as it was removed from UP1's site) and Dragon Ball Z Level 1.1 is OOP.
