Nisekoi is currently slated to run for twenty episodes.
From the outset, I expected this series to end with the Romeo & Juliet play, which it now seems likely it will unless we get an original anime ending. Which would be a pretty good place to end the first season to be honest.

Or, given how the story evaportaed into nothing, just end.
Seriously, Between Naruto, Bleach and Nisekoi, the rest of the line up in WSJ does double time to make even the £2 a month worth it.

This is what's putting me off going past the first episode of Nisekoi ..people have made it painfully obvious the manga is at a halt with very little continuation ..I don't know if I can watch something, knowing that :/ Plus I've taken to Onodera who I highly doubt has a chance of coming out on top, seeing as Chitoge seems canon
(not sure if those spoilers are really spoilers but eh, to be on the safe side)
In relevant news, anichart have started updating the summer line-up: http://anichart.net/summer

It is true that Nisekoi has become subjected to the downside of being a weekly publication - due to the popularity of the manga, it's being extended longer than it's (most likely) intended run to capitalise on volume sales. I can't even remember the last time we had a chapter dedicated to the whole lock-key thing, but that isn't to say that I'm no longer enjoying the series. But it has basically devolved into an ecchi-less To Love Ru. However, if the anime ends at the point in the story where I think it will, it will be at a point before it drifted off (and actually at one of the high points of the series).
In regards to the anime length, even after the Romeo & Juliet play, there is still enough of the main story to fill another season of similar length -
but that's where I would leave it. If I were Aniplex, I'd end season 1 with the play as it's not an anime-original ending so it leaves some room for continuation, but is still a nice place to stop. Then, when the manga nears its end, I'd do another season of a similar length that trims the fat and ends with the manga conclusion. (Of course, this is all depending on if Aniplex can do another season - I can't imagine what the budget of the Nisekoi must be and I hear that estimated volume 1 pre-orders are low).
In regards to the love situation, I personally think it could go either way at this point. I mean, Chitoge is obviously the main focus as her joining the school is what kicked off the series and the one-shot did end with her being the girl, but in every character popularity poll so far, Onodera has been on top (and hell, thanks to Y-san, Tachibana beat Chitoge in the recent one - Tachibana was shown in the pre-release info and on the official site, so she's not a spoiler) and the author has outright admitted that how often a character appears and such is affected by their popularity. There is also a lot of speculation that there's another promised girl, as the number of key-bearers at the moment is one less than in the original story. I'd say that the only characters who have feelings for Raku but have no chance are Tsugumi and possibly Haru.
I do agree that Chitoge will most likely be the winner, but I would love the author to give us a surprise with Tachibana xD.

It doesn't say anything of the sort (and I zoomed in on that image), and the information from the upcoming overseas anime DVD artwork thread clearly stated that the set only has one blu-ray disc which came from information on the funimation website.Mangaranga said:

That's fair enough - we're very sorry about it but can't do much about it though. Sorry you feel that way

It comes down to how the Japanese want to restrict ways to watch the show in Japanese sans subs I guess. I'm not sure the final discussions as we didn't manage these discs but it happens sometimes and we're sorry they're not there but we can't do much on it.
What we have done is that you can turn the English subtitles on at anytime during the dub. These means you can see the translated text on screen at anytime. It's not ideal because if you want the spoken subs out the way for the rest then you need to turn them off, but it was designed to give you some flexibility at least.
Hope this helps a wee bit at least

As I mention above, there actually is as we've allowed subs to be turned on during - just no specific track for it in this case as it wasn't created for the Japanese / American BD in that case. Frustrating but we can only work within the confines of what is available and at least it is still possible to get the translations if it irritates.
By and large they also speak it out though I think in the dub based on what I recall of the dub (watched the subbed version myself mostly)...

^^ To wit; Aniplex, ¯\(°_o)/¯. One day they may learn their lesson, but with a thoroughly abused domestic market that is at Nick Clegg levels of b'dom, today is not that day.
One Piece at least has the sense that things are happening. The other three are basically that bit from Trapped in Closet where the dood's like "He's looks at cabnet" on loop for forever.Lawrence said:

I'd forgotten that the chatrooms were spoken aloud, so there is that at least. ISTR that Saika's "母母母母母母母母母" spam wasn't voiced though.
I have contacted UP1USA regarding the Psycho Pass Premium Artbox issue and they said they'll check the stock when they have it and probably handle it like they did with Sankarea.

As other people have mentioned it's honestly not all that bad. Celty's phone messages are voiced, the chatroom messages are voiced. The only place it becomes an issue from memory are the scenes where Simon/Izaya speak Russian - and the OP/EDs.fabricatedlunatic said:

Andrew, I think this one would be a suitable title for your catalogue. One of them (Possessions) has a nomination for Best Animated Short at the Academy Awards this year (and who knows, maybe even win the award).

Much like that whole kerfuffle from Inazuma Eleven's UK Lock out on the 3ds Store from last (or was it two) week(s) back, it's more the principal of the matter more than the practicalities. Sure we can deal with it now, but what stupid demands will they foist on us next time?Mangaranga said:
