1st of Kimi ni Todoke's 2 13-episode parts to ship in October

NIS America (NISA), the American subsidiary of the Nippon Ichi Software game company, announced at its Anime Expo panel on Friday that it acquired the rights to the first Kimi ni Todoke television anime series and this year's Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera television anime series. Kimi ni Todoke will be released in 2 13-episode parts. The first part will ship in October, and the second part will ship "later." NIS America does not have release details for Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera yet, but the staff hopes to have more information by next year's Anime Expo...

SO HAPPY

edit: was typing from my phone before, but needless to say, so far this is the announcement I'm most excited about. I might have to email NIS and ask them about the chances of the live action movie getting licensed if it sells well. if they even have an interest in that. Japan has a Blu-ray of THAT, that I would love to own.

Very nice pick up by NISA. I will definitely be getting this.

I really hope that the art box is full of AWESOME ART of Sawako...and nothing but her.

Isn't there 2nd 12 episode series?

Very nice pick-up by NISA. I just hope that this release isn't plagued by their recent string of DVD problems...

While I don't know much about this title, it looks like something great.

I hope it is dub, but knowing Nis it is not. I wonder if we get a premuim edition like Wagnaria.
