Thanks for pointing that out, my bad. I guess I didn't look closely enough at the product details. |

Even people who "never get sick" need to be immunized because the germs you carry can be transferred to someone vulnerable. No, choosing to skip because "never sick" doesn't make someone socially equivalent to a hipster or a libertarian railing about "poison" or "the guvment" and trying to stamp immunization out but it does make them physically the same because they still don't have the shots, the immunity. There are PSAs everywhere (print, radio, tv, online) asking, begging, people to get vaccinated. The University of Alberta hospital, a world class facility, has ads plastered across the whole place reminding people to get their shots; The City of Edmonton has flu clinics EVERYWHERE and the Province of Alberta covers domestic vaccinations (not malaria, etc). Please, talk to your doctor about vaccination; He/she will tell you how important it is, for all of society. |

Which that in of itself isn't even original as Vegeta threatened to do the same thing after Goku started roughing him up in their first fight.
I wouldn't call losing property that you clearly care about getting off "easily" but okay. |

I voted for Evangelion myself, but Monster and Hajime no Ippo would be close after. Also, someone recently put Fruits Basket on the poll even though it is licensed by Funi.

Oh, was he unaware of it prior? I actually took Cell's super-regeneration to be something of an improved version of Piccolo's: He can regenerate from a single cell (hence his name, I guess), but he cannot make multiple copies of himself. Rather, they either sprout from a single piece, or the pieces combine together to reform into a whole (and then he sprouts any pieces he cannot find). The Cell Jr. technique came across to me as something different.
The perspective from a Canadian is quite different from the perspective of someone in the United States. You guys in Canada get free universal healthcare, so there is no financial impact to getting vaccinated, and it sounds like the procedure to get vaccinated is quite clean and simple. It's not like that in the USA: Our healthcare is completely privatized (and you'll have plenty of ordinary citizens ready to fight to the death to keep it privatized), meaning you'll have to pay for your vaccinations, if not out of pocket, then at least via health insurance. And it can take quite a while to get vaccinated (some of my mom's friends spent weeks on a waiting list, especially around now when Influenca A, Subtype H2N3 and an Influenza B whose subtype I don't know are running wild around the northern hemisphere). This is why you have those cases you might hear about where someone who is gravely injured will tell people around them not to call 9-1-1 or for an ambulance: Because they will be billed for it, and they might not necessarily be able to afford it. (Though in my case, my father was convinced all vaccinations are permanent and thought I had been vaccinated for everything there could be a vaccine for by the time I was 5 years old, so I was vaccinated like crazy when I was very young, then he stopped entirely. It made him come off as an anti-vaxxer, especially in today's context, but he was just ignorant about it, and amazingly stubborn and prideful of it. Then, later in life, he grew a deep hatred of medical help as he found it humiliating to have to receive medical help, and as a result, none of us in the household saw the doctor for anything until shortly before he passed away. I haven't gotten a vaccine for anything recently except for tetanus, and I can't find my immunization records as my father had kept them for himself and hid them from me. I currently have a few health problems that doctors I've visited cannot figure out, and needless to say, I rather resent my father because I know that had I been allowed to see a doctor when these problems were new and mild, they might have been able to do something about it.) |

Witch Hunter Robin was licensed some time ago by Funimation, but hasn't been released yet: animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-08-10/funimation-adds-code-geass-tales-of-the-abyss-witch-hunter-robin-more
All of those titles appear to be licensed for at least streaming, and in a quick check, both Vandread and Last Exile appear to be readily available on reasonably priced home media. |

Someone should rescue "Rave Master" because I resorted to watching most of the series dubbed on pirating sites. Also, if Funi could finally license the "Fairy Tail" OVAs.

@leafy sea dragon
Once again local differences in the U.S. arise. Here, as soon as the year's Flu vaccine comes out, the local drug stores start advertising. My wife and I walked into our local pharmacy last fall and got the flu shot. We went when they were not busy and it took all of 15 minutes. No standing in line no wait lists and no cost as we do have health insurance. |

why is re:zero on the poll? it's a little early to call this one in need of license rescue
for my part I picked Gosick novels, but really anything Tokyopop released is in need |

Yeah, from what I'm reading, southern California, where I live, has been hit the hardest by this current flu season. The pharmacies and emergency rooms are overwhelmed, as are the pharmacists and doctors with long lines of sick people waiting for them to help. |
