Izumo: Flash of a Brave Sword

Ah, so that's what the title translated to. It's been awhile since I saw that. I remember liking it enough to finish it, but I'm not sure how I'd feel today.

Koi Koi 7

Will anyone here be able to survie the train wreck factor that is this series? A series that may go too far for some.:sweat:

--------------------------------------------------------------
In any case some of the included titles such as Gakuen Alice gives me indication that this is a limited rights deal or whatever the term is.

I don't care; I just want to finish watching the damn series. I don't think that Joost/Gong Native will get the rest of the series quite honestly.

@dragoon: Do you know if TAN has all of Koi Koi 7, or just the first five episodes like Joost? If it's just the first five, than it doesn't do me any good.

I'll inquire about it next week when they're back, but normally Anime Network acquires/airs everything, unless it's an on-going production (that wasn't completed like the Illumitoon situation or the Sojitz titles last year).

If/When you do make sure to tell about your survival story in regards to Koi Koi 7. It's a show I have mixed feelings on.

If I think about it, I'll write something about KK7 on my blog. But I want to watch the entire series before I give an honest opinion about it.

Nice to see shows like Koi Koi 7 and Izumo being given more than just streaming options, and it's alwasy great to see Hoshin Engi/Soul Hunter back, but hopefully this can help lead to shows like Jibaku-kun -Twelve World Story-/Bucky the Incredible Kid, Captain Tsubasa 2002, and maybe even TV airings for Gokudo and Zenki.

Thats a good news. We'll take all of them.

Word on that front. Also, it will be swell if Enoki's mecha shows (e.g. Acrobunch) might be aired as well. Yee-ha! :bigsmile:

Unfortunately, I don't have the Anime Network and live too far away to have the possibility to get subscribed to it...:sweat:

I got official confirmation on this -- Anime Network will be showing the entirety of Koi Koi 7 and for those wondering, also worth mentioning due to the special circumstances... the entirety of SuperGals, including season 2 will be shown.

Gakuen Alice is a good anime title!!

Heh, it will be fun to see how people react to Koi Koi 7. Especially if they're showing what I'm going to assume are the DVD versions. On that note, I ahve to wonder if I'll ever seriously finish it myself. My ability to watch train wrecks is damaged right now.

As for Super Gals, I have to admit I'm slightly curious as to how they'll handle the fact the first season has a dub, but the second season does not. Will they be like "We may as well show the sub for both" or "Why not? Let's show the first season dubbed, but then show the second subbed by default"?

SuperGAL's is going to be first season with the dub and the second season subbed by default. While I personally think the switch is going to cause some people issues I don't see it as a big problem as both the Japanese and English cast are excellent. One of the few show's I can not decide on which cast I enjoy more. I "think" the main reason is they are going to be using the encodes that Enoki sends over and as far as anyone can tell Enoki did not make a subtitle encode for the first season.
