Hi [name omitted] our problem is that Geneon was taken over by Universal a few years ago.Since then we have not been able to license anything from them.We want to do ALL of the Higurashi related releases but they are yet to decide on whether we can license them.If we are ever successful we will announce it here right away.

- Hey Siren Visual, just wondering when you will be announcing some more titles? And can we expect some more "first release outside of Japan" titles?

- Very soon

...and so forth…. but on the very top shelf to the far left side I noticed plush dolls based on a series no company have yet to formally announce…. two plush dolls based on Panda Neko and Hiiragi (Panda Neko ver.) from the anime series Hanamaru Kindergarten (Hanamaru Youchien | は なまる幼稚園). This might just be a team members own goodies added to the shelf…. but could it be a potential hint at a new license by the company… and an Australian-exclusive to boot? I guess time will tell….
