Sentai Filmworks will release the 25-episode series digitally on The Anime Network and "many other outlets" soon. Sentai Filmworks' press release did not mention a home video release.


Ah. I bet this is the show that will fill the little question mark box on the Crunchyroll line-up page.

Sentai's really been cleaning house lately in terms of picking up stuff. This isn;t my favorite show of the season or anything, but I;m always cool for a legal stream.

Judging by the press release, it sounds like a solid license rather than a digital-only one, as it seems like they are merely stating the first wave of its distribution.

Really glad to see someone pick it up, as I wanted to check the series out and see Junichi Sato doing something outside of his usual stuff.

This anime is far to mundane and uninteresting for my tastes..I had enough after I watched the first episode..Sentai needs to license better shows in the future.

Same. I was hoping this was going to be picked up Smile I'm really enjoying this even if it only has popcorn value. Doesn't mean that its too dumb not to be entertaining.

As far as no home video announcement, its early yet. I waited to hear when this would be licensed, and it paid off. I have hope for a DVD release at some point.

Be careful guys, it's a trap. No, really... it's a trap. And a extremely well hidden trap with a very high kill ratio, mind you.

I thought the same, and I still say that it's the stupidest goddamn show I've ever watched...

But you know? It's actually entertaining. I think a lot of that is due to the high quality animation and *amazing* soundtrack. It makes the show much more exciting than it actually is.

I think if ADV could get back in the groove and whip up a really fun dub that compliments the show's ridiculousness, it'd make for a pretty big contender.

In other words, they will be looking closely at streaming numbers before they make their final call on a dub and bluray release. So if you want a dub, watch the streams. Smile

It's definitely interesting to see Sentai nab another current Sunrise show. Legal streams are always a plus and I wouldn't be surprised to see this pop up on Crunchyroll either. There have been a lot of interesting developments at Sentai lately. Smile

I wish that would happen as well, but I doubt it'll happen. Fans would run neo-ADV out of the Internet on a rail...again Sad

I realize that this show is pretty lame, but do I watch it to support Sentai and encourage them to bring it out dubbed, or do I, knowing that the show sucks and the dub will most likely suck, abandon Sentai on this venture and ignore the show?

This is even harder than the usual "sacrifice principles to buy a crappy show with a castrated dub to support the best company" conundrum Sentai presents Crying or Very sad Rolling Eyes
