Licensing Bingo

[neocloud9]

Okay, so Anime Expo 2010 is supposed to be the big one for licensing announcements this year. Bandai, Funimation and Nozomi will all be announcing new licenses. And you know what that means! :D :D :D

TIME FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF: WHAT! WE! WANT! LICENSED! *live studio applause

I definitely want to see Durarara on DVD. I know Crunchy's got it, but I like to watch things on my TV and not on my computer ;D

For me, as always, the series I'm waiting for is Nodame Cantabile. The fact that it hasn't been licensed yet is always surprising to me -- it has a fairly significant western fanbase and is well-loved by a lot of english-speaking anime fans. Even if the musical performances make it difficult to license (which is, I'm assuming, the main reason why it hasn't been licensed yet), I will continue to be bitchy about it until someone gets it done ;D

Edited to add: I would actually also like to see Kimi ni Todoke, and I think it's probably fairly likely we'll see an announcement about it in the next while, though I'm assuming Viz will want to get their hands on it since they're doing the manga.

Yeah, I don't like watching things as complex as Durarara subbed. And Baccano got such a great dub, I definitely don't mind holding out for Durarara...

I'm assuming you mean you want Sailor Moon and Cardcaptors relicensed, yes? (Honestly, all I want is the original dub to be released on DVDs...)

NEURO! (But I wouldn't hold your breath. :C)

[neocloud9]

Yup. Those two (and Utena) have been OOP so long, they're almost impossible to find anymore. They could really do with a license rescue.

I won't, BUT I WILL NEVER STOP HOPING.

[crescent_moony]

Yeah... and Digimon! :D Or were you one of those children who believed you couldn't love Pokemon and Digimon? ^_^;

OH, THE CARDCAPTOR'S ENGLISH DUB OPENING THEME WAS SO BADASS, AKSADKLASDJKS~ Always pumped me up, YES. <3

[neocloud9]

I loved Digimon Tamers. Can't go wrong with Chiaki J Konaka!

The Japanese ending song from the first movie always gets me... RAT HURR. *thumbs chest*

[neocloud9]

It was released on DVD years ago, but it's been long OOP and nearly impossible to find.

DNW AT CARDCAPTOR SAKURA. I really doubt Sailor Moon will get licensed. Some of the higher ups at FUNi have already said that it's not likely to happen. The series is in licensing hell. Also DNW Durlalalallama becase omg it just ended maybe I can stop hearing about it for awhile JUST MAYBE PLEASE?

Do want Michiko to Hatchin, don't care about anything else.

[neocloud9]

Lord forbid anyone get what they want but you. ^_~

[bodyline]

It would be an absolute tragedy, yes.

[neocloud9]

How do you cope?

[neocloud9]

Yes, but years and years ago. They've been OOP for a while.

S'all good, s'all good. Anything else you'd wanna see licensed?
