That's good to here. Better then nothing. Hopefully sometime in 2013 we get it.

Does anyone know the likelihood of Denno Coil being picked up in the near future? Has it been talked about by anyone in the R1 industry? NIS especially?

I ask since i have wanted to see this show for awhile and it being available in Australia has been very tempting. But I'm worried should i buy it NIS will pick it up. They would be the only company i would feel the need to replace the AU version with theirs as i love their Premium Editions.

I caved in on Tatami Galaxy this month and picked up the UK release despite the same fear that this show is the sort of show i would expect a company like NIS to pickup.

I'd wait, if needed ask around and get the word out that it's something desirable in the R1 market. I haven't heard anything personally, but even if Blu-Ray isn't a major concern to you I'd hold off if for no other reason than the potential for their sweet artbooks and bonuses. Personally holding out for Kaiba and Mononoke myself.

Mononke, Kaiba , GoGoGo and Denno Coil. I'm very hopeful they will get all of them at somepoint. Maybe i'll wait until after Anime Expo and then if still no news i'll cave and buy at least Denno Coil as its been out along time over there

That does it for today, But tomorrow will be something SPECIAL: We'll be revealing one of our biggest titles for 2013 tomorrow at 12 PM CST. Don't miss it!

[WTK]

Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment in Australia will be releasing A Certain Scientific Railgun OVA later this year. They have A Certain Magical Index Season 2 already. Both are candidates for FUNimation licenses. I just don't see AU releasing both without an English dub.

009 RE:CYBORG and Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo are also picked up in AU (both by Madman Ent.). I'm still unsure if someone will license 009 RE:CYBORG for NA. Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo license announcement is just a matter of when from FUNimation.

- I hope you guys consider dubbing Hunter x Hunter (2011) in the future. I would love to see how you guys handle the dub and i would love to purchase the DVD's for it

- This is the reboot right? We put in an offer for it, but we didn't get the deal. The Japanese licensor doesn't have to let the people who didn't get it a notice of who got it, so we'll just have to wait for the announcement. Either way, who ever has it paid a pretty pretty penny for it...

I will just note this here.

HUNTER X HUNTER: Phantom Rouge

Aug 3 @11:00am

2012 / 97 min / with English Subtitles
Directed by Yuzo Sato
Voices: Umika Kawashima, Naohito Fujiki

US Premiere

HUNTER x HUNTER: Phantom Rouge is based on the mega-hit manga series by Yoshihiro Togashi, author of Yu Yu Hakusho, selling over 60 million copies worldwide. With an original script written for the film, it reveals the early life of main characters Clapica and Gon.

Once there was a small tribe of people called Cluta living in a lush and beautiful forest. One day, the Hazard Class-S bandits known as the Phantom Brigade attacked and massacred the entire population except one. Their objective was the eyes that belong to the Cluta people, which turn scarlet with excitement. Known as the Eyes of Rouge, the color is considered one of the seven most exquisite hues in the world. A sole survivor is a boy named Clapica. He vows to avenge his people and becomes a Hunter.
