| Am I the only one surprised that Media Blasters acquired Bakuman? And for that matter, I could have sworn that Media Blasters fell off the face of the planet. Guess I was wrong. Huh, interesting turn of events. |
| Hmm, I thought Viz would release AoEx. |

| good to see nurarihyon getting a simulcast |
| humm interesting |
| Still pissed that a good anime like Ao no Exorcist is going to be subbed-only not dubbed. Not worth my money when I can watch it for free on CR. I'll buy it when they go back and dub it. |

| Hell yeah. I'm excited about several of these, especially with the release dates not that far off. |
| Did not hear about the Bakuman license. That's neat. I just wish Media Blasters would say something in regards to SZS. |

| Darn, already watched the layton movie. kinda regret i didn't watch it in english because hearing a british professor speaking japanese was kinda awkward |
| If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card). |
| Media Blasters you SUCK. Where the hell is SZS. |

| I did not know about Bakuman getting licensed. I thought VIZ would get it but oh well. I hope whoever is doing the dubs better do a good job. |
| Madoka is getting an English Dub ;D (if anyone was hoping for that, of course...) |
| I was looking all over for Fade to Black's release date, just found it today on the back of the Soul Resurreccion book, and when I went to post it today on a few sites, apparently it's common knowledge now. :P |
| Happy about Ao no Exorcist and Madoka :) |
| That shit was horrible. |
