It would probably be a two disc release since its only 12 12 minute episodes and over third of it is just the opening and closing. Jus-tice!

There is also 2nd half to those episode which none of the subbers picked up which featured Momoko Saitou (Tsuyuri) and Kimiko Koyama (Sora) on a journey to make their own doujin. I don't know they would also release that part.

The AonDVD post also indicated it's being dubbed..... I'm guessing the live action segments will be included, since they're probably part of the license for the show [I wonder if MB will include them as part of the feature, or have them in the Extras section?]

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=ZMBZ-3611 The live action segments are included in the Japanese version of the DVD, so I'm assuming MB has them.

I'd prefer they get Zebraman and the subbed Voltron out already.

It's great to see Genshiken 2 being brought over, but that's kinda been a given since the anime was announced. Genshiken sold very well for Media Blasters from what I've head. I'm glad and hoping that they'll keep dub continuity, which I'm sure they will - after all, the dub is what gave Genshiken some charm.

I'll probably buy Kujibiki Unbalance as well, for the Genshiken OVA partly. I'd mostly continue to support Media Blasters as I have been.

Doujin Work looks like another otaku-centric show, so I'll probably buy that as well, just because it'd be nice. The dub included is a nice bonus.

Glad to see they haven't totally given up on dubs. Only series that could financially warrant a dub are getting them.

Cool, Doujin Work was pretty entertaining...it's like Comic Party, only without the occasional seriousness or the thinly veiled "based on ero-game" elements. It is very otaku-centric, playing up the "female otaku" theme that worked so well in Lucky * Star, only the main character in Doujin Work is semi-reluctantly dragged into the seedy world of doujin and ero-games.

Doujin Work was a riot. It pretty much cut out the filler and details from the other shows that focus on otaku culture and just takes a very light hearted approach.
The main character actually reminds me of Miki from Ramen Fighter, in looks and attitude.

And where, might I ask, is the second half of GaoGaiGar?

Amazing!

Doujin Work was a series I really enjoyed but thought never had a chance of a license. Put everything else on hold to get it done!

Now all I need is someone to pick up Hidamari and Sketchbook FC...

They said awhile back that they'd be dubbing Ikkitousen Dragon Destiny, so that's another one we can look forward to. After all, that one will probably sell well to the "casual perv" audience Evil or Very Mad

C'mon! You're a mod now; you're supposed to say "fanservice oriented" audience. Very Happy

The first handful of episodes of Doujin Work were good, but the last half of the series was pretty bad imo. They shied way from the stronger characters of Justice and Tsuyuri and into the annoying people who's names I don't recall. Genshiken 2 is great, it's one of the shows I'm blogging this season. I'm looking forward to a DVD release so I can put it next to my box of the first season =)

I don't think the second half was bad, but it was definitely weaker than the first half. I'd say the first half was pretty good and the latter portion was mediocre.
