Just wondering what ANN's policy is for shows that are streamed but not licensed for DVD release? Should they be shown in the bold 'licensed' font or not? House of Five Leaves and Tatami Galaxy are bold but Rainbow is not. As I understood it, all three were in the same boat. Licensed for streaming only but not DVD (at least for now). Phantom which funimation also streamed is not bold. Nor is Crunchyroll's stuff if I'm not mistaken. (Unless someone else has licensed it for DVD I mean).

So are Five Leaves and Tatami just an oversight then? If so, somebody should fix that. This all got me wondering though, what's the best way to do this? I think having stream only stuff bolded is a bit much but it would be nice to have it signified somehow. Have you guys given any thought to adding another font effect to signify this? Maybe italics? Streaming is becoming the thing to do these days so maybe it's something worth considering.
