Odd choice. I'm guessing it's bundled with something else. No reason to acquire this license on its own.

....why did they do this? I thought I remember someone from NISA mentioning that they only go for shows that they actually like. Was there more to this show than I thought or did they have to license it in order to get some other show? I didn't dislike the show but there were just so many better shows to watch that season, so I dropped it.

I love NISA, but I hope they're not making bad decisions (like not watching these shows all the way through first) and just taking a chance with some shows. The packaging looks nice as always though.

Pleasant non-offensive show, so I'm happy it was picked up. I don't know if it will be a big seller, but that's not my problem.

Eh...it was okay watching it on Crunchyroll but not really worth buying for me.
But congrats for the fans~

NIS America has quite a few light-heart shows in their catalog so this fits.

I buy every NIS release so i will be getting this. I LOVE the Yellow box. Nice and bright.

Haven't seen this show but I'm hoping the fact it shares the same director as Cromartie High School then i should enjoy as CHS is my favourite Anime Comedy ever.

Another BD only show unless i misread something. I found that really interesting as normally we are lucky to get Blu Ray as well as DVD let alone forgetting DVD altogether Anime hyper

Awesome Pickup NISA , LOVE YOU GUYS!

yea I dont get the reasoning here. All of their other shows were shows even when I did not like them at least had some fairly decent following or at least some substance. this show is like stock day in the life with a little bit of fantasy thrown in, but its not at Azu Manga Daioh level and not even close.

Hmm, this is where my public pledge to buy a PE copy of every title that NISA puts out is a bit of pain. I vaguely remember trying to watch the first episode of this and I don't think I got through it.

Oh well. It would be too annoying not to stick with my promise so I guess I'll be giving this a shot.

Admittedly I'm not as excited about this one as most other NISA titles, but it's not a terrible show, so I don't mind picking it up.

Not only is it not terrible, but it is the sort of title that one could show to children without getting funny looks from relatives. It doesn't have the mass appeal of most Ghibli films, but it's still harmless, largely devoid of fanservice and has a quirky charm. I could see myself giving this title to some of my second cousins.

Good news for fans of the series...? Honestly, I didn't know this series had enough of a following to warrant a home video release but apparently it does...?

Christ guys, how many people have to express shock that a show they don't care about got licensed? Seriously?

I'm pretty sure the OP alone would get you plenty of funny looks.
