It's not a license announcement for DearS, and please specify on the top, just in case, that the Tomorrow's Joe movie is the live-action one. They may not scroll down more than a certain amount.

I got to be honest, I was a bit underwhelmed by the announcements. Besides Legend of.the Overfiend, most of the stuff just didn't appeal to me. But still I love listening to these guys talk, it's always fun to hear Mike. Brady, and Justin

So looks like Sentai Filmworks no longer has the license to When They Cry-Higurashi. I hope Discotek can get season 2 & 3 of that too since that now is no longer with Sentai.

Angel Heart! Yes! Thank you, Discotek! This is a truly great announcement! Finally, to be able to own this great, heart-rending, heart-healing alternate universe City Hunter tale! I never thought I'd see the day!

I used to own DearS on DVD. It's good to see it finally getting a Blu-ray release.

I'm most looking forward to Kamen Rider X, Janperson, Osomatsu-kun, Higurashi, and Nanoha Vivid Strike. I'm glad Discotek is picking up the slack for what Shout can't release of Kamen Rider and they're picking up a lot of neat toku shows.

Nothing terribly exciting for me personally, but I'm definitely getting Ange Heart! Also Osomatsu-kun would be fun to own.

Too bad I waited too long on getting City Hunter 2, otherwise my City Hunter collection would be complete. Hopefully we'll get Angel Dust next.

It's a shame they only dub OVAs and movies. A new dub for Higurashi (maybe using the Funimation cast from the newer seasons) would be nice.

Ah, I was not aware of that! Thanks.
Strange how it didn't get released theatrically yet in other regions. I've seen it theatrically in the Netherlands about a year ago, but that was distributed by Periscoop Film.

Man, they really went in the paint on the "syndicated action cartoon" license rescues this time around, huh? I can't say there's anything in there I'm rushing to Amazon to pre-order but it is at the least, the most eclectic lineup from a distributor in this space.
