Aniplex of America licenses Sword Art Online

[Seijin]

I'm sure they'd rather produce it themselves if they feel it'd be popular enough. More money, that way.

Blue Exorcist does have an English Dub though, it just isn't available on Blu-Ray or DVD yet.

Given the show's profile that is roughly comparable with Blue Exorcist, I think it will be dubbed, but then again you are not exactly sure what Aniplex will do.

I sure as heck will not be buying this mess of a series.

Interesting to see them seeking input. Maybe some releases haven't been selling exactly as they had hoped recently. I guess it could be any configuration at this point. A Madoka-style release might be the best bet, but maybe not quite as elaborate. Unless the show wows me at the end like it did in earlier parts (although only just barely back then, and it's looking less and less likely as it goes on), I don't think I'd be up for paying $450 for the series. Too bad Baccano! pricing is impossible for something this new.

Nice to see the poll is on Facebook instead of Twitter, so I can actually contribute. I went with both just because I like the idea of being able to lend my anime out to people without Blu-ray players. That's assuming they mean a combo pack rather than selling them separately, though. Of course, this is AoA, so none of us can have any idea what they'll do (and apparently, even they can't at this point).

I'm sort of surprised how few votes DVD has

I wasn't expecting it to win at all, but I also wasn't expecting it to be losing this badly

Yeah, that's really surprising. I would be curious to see this kind of poll for other releases to compare.
