I'm definitely getting The World God Only Knows <3

I'm not familiar with Sentai Filmworks, however. What else have they released?

Sign me in for the TWGOK blurays. Hopefully the manga will be licensed soon as well. I want my physical volumes!

Well, just sent this little bit of info to my brother - he enjoyed the crap out of TWGOK, so having both series licensed is sure to make him happy. XD

I'm curious if it'll be dubbed or not. I might watch it if it's dubbed, since otherwise it's extremely low on my list of shows to watch.


TWGOK is getting a Blu-ray release, so pretty likely it will also get a dub given Sentai's usual pattern. I hope so, at least.

In a strange way, it fits them considering they tend to license and release some obscure mediocre and/or bad TV series sub-only.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I can see them getting School Days. Laughing

Wow. They really are on a roll. Very nice pick ups!

Edit: FYI, Fandom Post documented that TWGOK will be getting a DVD and Blu-ray release.

Also, Princess Resurrection is getting dubbed.


This totally made my day! This news was nearly as good as the new licenses! I loved Princess Resurrection and it's the type of show the gang in Houston was always good at dubbing. I can't wait. Thanks for sharing the news!

I finish adding the staff for Akikan! yesterday, and today it's licensed.

I swear, my actions must have SOME kind of effect on the anime industry.

Geez, this is Sentai's week. Definitely want "SoreMachi" and "TWGOK," and I'll have to see how "Towa no Quon" turns out.

FUNi: We like licensing utter shit.
Sentai: We've been burned and have learned the wisdom of scrutiny.

Had to look twice to catch that And Yet the Town Moves was Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru. I really enjoyed that show- it gets better as it goes on, in a slight way it reminds of Nichijou- it's not completely absurd like Nichijou, but it likes its weirdness. This is the one I'd most consider getting.


...ah, Akikan, that's the one about the can women. I remembered someone describing it once but I got the title phonetically confused with Kanokon.

Have not seen either show so I will most likely not be getting them anytime soon, but good for the fans.

Wow, I'm apparently the only person who is actually ecstatic they picked up Akikan, hilarious show, and now I can own it (sub or dub, just glad they got it)

That makes 2 for 2

I said I would be a fanboy forever to Sentai if they got Needless and Akikan, so wheres my card to join the club? lol
