Nice package idea! I guess this is one of those series that got the most votes in FUNi's recent survey.

I saw a few episodes on Nico Nico while it was airing months ago, and was riveted by the atmosphere and air of suspense. It's no Case Closed, but I'll probably be getting this.

Edit: That's what the hell I get for not reading the thing. Laughing

Wait has Funi released the results of the survey and Dantalian was on top? If so than that is good news

Why are you mentioning Funimation? The article is about a Japanese release. It says nothing about a US release.

Season 2 please! Sentai should have picked this show up? Funi is only considering it, fingers crossed they won't. Nothing against Funi but I have my N. American anime licensing company preferences for my blu ray releases.

This show makes me sad, there is such potential, arguably if done right ie, 26 episodes or more and more time to flesh out this would be better than gosick in my opinion, but too too many shows these days end up looking bad due to this mashed up 12 episode seasons.

This was one of the worst selling shows of summer. Unless sales of its source shot up like a rocket there is pretty much no chance at a second season.

I couldn't agree with this more. Even within the first 12 episodes, it's crystal clear whoever was directing this train wreck had no idea what to do with the premise.

It was pretty difficult to sit through the series and figure out what the purpose of the duo was, especially when Dalian kept flip-flopping what her role was.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the production committee didn't force a change to play catch up to the more popular Gosick.

Perhaps they'll do to this what the production committee did with Saki: scrap any reference to a previous season existed and reboot it (and adjust breast sizes accordingly).

What a waste.
