There's a new anime company in town
02-13-2010, 03:29 AM
Well, okay - it's an existing entertainment company that's getting into anime translation and distribution. NIS America http://nisamerica.com/nart/press/Anime% ... 100212.pdf]just announced that they hold the licenses for four anime... and they picked some strong titles to launch their anime line: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toradora]!]Toradora!, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona:_Trinity_Soul]PERSONA -trinity soul-, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora_Hearts]Pandora Hearts, and Our Home’s Fox Deity (better known as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Home%27s_Fox_Deity].]Wagaya no Oinari-sama).
To make this a bit more entertaining than the usual announcement posting, I thought I'd add a poll to it. I'm wondering...

F) None, as I know nothing about them.

I thought Trinity Soul was already brought over?
I'm surprised it wasn't, considering how massively popular Persona 3 and 4 were for Atlus.

Ah, that's the mob which is the US branch of a Japanese game publisher. They released an odd JRPG/DC Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! and a bunch of other stuff, most of them on consoles I don't own.

Heh. Waga-ya O-Inari-Sama is relevant to my interests... for obvious reasons.  IT's the better of two "I've got a kitsune living with me" series from when it was released. It's very modern fantasy asction-y as compared to it's competition's ecchiness.
ToraDora is one of those "real life with weird hair colors" series, with a petite tsundere and a tall "tough guy everyman." It's short for "Tiger and Dragon," which is a take on the main characters' names and nicknames. The Tsundere is called "Taiga" because she reminds her classmates of a "palmtop tiger" and the everyman's name is Ryuuji, with, of course, the kana for Dragon.
The other two are "Anime of the Game"

Chiming in here, Toradora! was utterly brilliant.

Toradora! is EPIC - Taiga is the only tsundere I actually like... so I must buy!
There is no coincidence, only necessity....

Is it completely off-topic to point out how -brilliant- this is of an example of how one can influence results through careful question choice? I suspect Bob spotted that and was trying to subvert it, in fact.
Back on-topic: H) None of the above; none of them appeal to me. ;D

And now that the poll's closed, I'm slightly surprised by the result. (I expected Toradora! to place first, but Wagaya no Oinari-sama was the runaway favourite instead. Go figure...)

Hey, what can we say? Kitsune are awesome. Sometimes I wonder if my current girlfriend, given her mischievous and whimsical nature, is a descendant of a kitsune.

*pops a rez*
I've actualy just acquired their DVDs of Wagaya no Oinari-sama and I think I'll have a bit of trouble finding a space for 'em on my shelf. 'Cos for starters the box they came in's larger than my HB copy of the Fallout 3 guidebook and the contents of said box is bigger than a DVD fatpack.

I'd rather get Katanagatari first and foremost. Why? Because it is freakin' epic.
