Inb4 Media Blasters bashing. I remember this from the list of "Shoujo deconstructions" (because Shonen is much less interesting to deconstruct). It sounds mildly interesting.

Wow, one of the first anime I ever saw fansubbed. It was pretty confusing in places.

I wonder if they plan on doing Touka Gettan the backwards anime at another time. Since they share a character.

Oh my god, this was unexpected. It's still MB so I'll wait until they actually sell it before getting too excited.

Haha, oh wow! This title takes me back in old digital fansub days especially around that time when there was an utter dearth of yuri titles to choose from.

Oh man, I remember this show, mostly because it was really random and completely insane. (And hellishly entertaining.)

I'ma going for this one if it gets released.

'bout time. ^^

I just bought the Japanese blu-ray, too. Ah well, it was still worth it.

Oh snap, that's awesome. I've always felt this anime was overlooked for the longest time, along with Touka Gettan.

If it does get dubbed, it will be one of the very rare (only?) dedicated yuri titles that does.

Never even heard about this one before, but I guess now I'll be checking it out.

Awesome! I never thought this would get picked up after all this time, so I'm really happy. Mr. Green

I've never heard of this one either, but I'll preorder it just as soon as RightStuf lists it. Hopefully this'll be success enough to get them looking at the sadly too-few other yuri series out there(and be released sooner than the near-year it took Aki Sora).

I'll add my voice to those supporting Media Blasters as well.

To paraphrase a saying: "if you build it, they will buy it"

C'mon Media Blasters, don't let us down!

Well, there was Kannazuki no Miko, but I can see where one might not consider that a "dedicated" yuri title, what with all the mechs and stuff. If I recall correctly, though, didn't Kashimashi get a second release with a dub?

I'll be surprised if there is a dub, to be honest. If Strawberry Panic and Simoun didn't get one from MB, I'm not sure why Yami would. Unless the smaller cast would mean lower costs, maybe?
