Kanokon is on my list but I also wish media would release a picture of Genshiken like this too
Media Blasters is teasing fans with a few new images on their Official Facebook Page today with a look at final packaging for Kanokon on DVD and the first Moribito Blu-ray release. Kanokon is set for release in March 22nd in full series form, which follows up the May 25th, 2010 release of the first and only volume of the series before they decided to shift the whole thing to a single collection for less than the price of the two remaining volumes ($19.99 a volume or $29.99 for the whole shebang). The first of two parts of Moribito is also on track, thought that had a February 22nd release but we haven't seen much mention of anyone getting a copy yet, as this gives us the first half of the series in high definition like it belongs. And in just two collections which makes it a lot easier to figure out what you need and take up less space.
Kanon Summary: Kouta, a country boy who lives with his grandfather, is moving to the city to attend high school. Changes come with his new home and new school, but nothing could have prepared the gentle young man for girls, specifically a bombshell fox spirit named Chizuru! As if her aggressive advances weren't enough, he also catches the attention of a frosty wolf spirit named Nozomu.
Kouta is dragged into supernatural events as a result of his contact with the two girls, and his school life only gets more chaotic by the day. But with a girl who gives "foxy" new meaning and another howling after him, things are looking up for his love life
Special features: Animated Shorts, OVA Series, Textless Opening and Closing:
Moribito plot summary: At a time when the balance of nature still held the civilizations of mankind in thrall, a single drought could spell the end of a society and doom its inhabitants to piteous deaths. Prince Chagum has been imbued with the power to stave off the drought and bring new life to his empire; however, this is a suspicious time, and he is accused of possession by an evil spirit. Court advisors only see one solution: Chagum must be put to death by his own father's hand.
His salvation comes in the form of Balsa, a spear woman and mercenary from Kanbal, the kingdom across the mountains. Her skills are legendary, and although reluctant, she is held by a mysterious vow to save eight souls before she dies. Can she fend off an entire empire and make Chagum her eighth soul?

Nice. They were insane to try and release Kanokon the way they did (by "they" I mean whoever made the decision or forced that decision, which mgiht not have been MB, but the Japanese licensor).
I honestly held off on this title when the first volume came out because they had said that MB was going to season or half season sets at the same time volume one came out. Glad I did.... My hunch was right on this one. There was no telling if Kanokon would have gotten an ender box the way things were going at the time
