Cool, I'll pick this up sometime. Silly raunchy sports comedy got some laughs out of me.

For a fairly obscure, 7-year-old show like this? Not likely. I'm honestly surprised they went back and licensed this at all. |

I fail to see how licensing this title can be construed as desperation from Sentai. True, they license 1-2 older titles per month, but they have licenses for 40+ titles that aired within the last three years. They have plenty of stuff to release.
Sentai is usually pretty good at releasing stuff in a timely manner. The titles you cite are among the few exceptions. Last edited by Angel M Cazares on Thu Feb 18, 2016 9:30 pm; edited 2 times in total |

Aw, but that will be when they start approaching the stuff that I'd love to see licensed. Admittedly, not the titles you mentioned, Zalis, but I know that the stuff that I really want to own on DVD are likely looked at as "bottom of the barrel" by most people. |

Wonderful. This is such an underrated show. It starts off sort of weak but gets progressively weirder over the next couple episodes, becoming a very consistent comedy. It's basically a coherent full-length episode version of Teekyu.

Considering how sports anime of any sort have a sordid history of not selling well, I don't expect seeing an English version of Softenni popping up anytime soon. A bit unfortunate, since it seems like a fun show to watch, IMO.
Edit: Oh yes! 3500 posts!

Yeah, I agree, it's not really a sports anime.
It spoofs some sports cliches for comedic purposes but it's just a framing device for the character interaction. There's almost an excuse to alter the title to take away the sports focus even more than the inevitable fan-service cover Sentai will probably be giving it. |

I know the Sentai marketing gimmick but the series did focus on fanservice, especially the bonus shorts, which I hope Sentai has gotten too |
