Yes! ParaKiss has finally been licensed! And by a good company, at that! That really makes my day. Very Happy

I wonder if the ending theme will remain on there... though, I hope it does.

Interesting.

Black Lagoon wasn't all that suprising, and Hello Kitty wasn't all that suprising either, since they've licensed other Hello Kitty titles before (for some odd reason).

ParaKiss was a suprise though. A pleasant one, nonetheless.

I assume this is all from Geneon? I wonder what the other companies have in store...

Can't wait to get my hands on those Black Lagoon dvds, a fantastic series indeed. Paradise Kiss is also welcome since the manga was good too.

Awesome. Though the manga is definitely superiour, I loved the Parakiss anime. I wonder if this is connected to the success of NANA at all?

Wasn't Paradise Kiss only animated in the first place because of the success of the manga over here? On those grounds, the license doesn't surprise me.

Black Lagoon and Paradise Kiss. Geneon continues to prove that they're where it's at in 2006. Cool

Proposal for an extra on the ParaKiss DVDs - Clothing patterns so cosplayers can make the outfits from the episodes themselves?

Yay, I'm so happy ParaKiss got licensed. I will definitely consider buying that series. Such a good opening song...

Any official word on what's going to happen to the Franz Ferdinand song in ParaKiss?

Apparently, ADV has the rights to Pani Poni Dash and Bandai Visual will finally bring Gunbuster to DVD.

Geneon definitely gets my thanks for liscensing Black Lagoon I'm loving this series. Though with their logo in the credits it was obvious for a while who was going to get it.

Wow, I wasn't expecting Paradise Kiss to get liscensed, I'm thrilled about that! Also been looking forward to seeing Black Lagoon. With FMA, Tenjho Tenge, and a few other series I'm working on ending there was going to be you know...money in my wallet. Thanks to Geneon for once again taking my money hehe

If anything i'm glad to hear that Black Lagoon is getting licensed. no suprise since it's from Geneon and it's a good series. However, that dialog between dutch and that old Nazi (during the 6 or 7th episode.)..creepy. How Geneon will clean that up for PC correctness,is beyond me..or will they?
