Nippon Ichi doesn't do dubs.

For me, the funny thing about Kimi ni Todoke is that wherever you go online, either everyone has heard of it or nobody has, so it often feels like it's underappreciated despite actually being very popular. Hopefully the American release can help it spread a lot more evenly.

By the way, I'm trying to sound intelligent so I don't start squeeing like a little girl. It's very tempting.

It's odd having NIS, of all groups, bringing it over. I guess I'm just used to their older PS2 games, which are NOTHING like Kimi Ni Todoke.

Kimi ni Todoka will not have a dub. This is NIS America we're talking about. They do subs only.

BTW I'm so excited. I am pre-ordering the limited edition for this and i'm gonna fanboy it to death

If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

I think Naru is a pretty cool guy. eh reports news from Anime Expo and doesn't afraid of anything... :)

Licensing Dororon Enma-kun is kind of unexpected and interesting. I wouldn't think there would be a market for it but what do I know. Kimi ni Todoke will probably sell by the truckload though.

That's NIS for you, even their games have the original japanese track option.

Oh wow they licensed dororon enma-kun? adv was the only one who bothered with go nagai anime adaptations before.

i don't really see a market for it though. as i explained earlier, it's a show full with showa references so it's kind of hard to get the jokes if you didn't grow up during that time period, but hey, i fucking loved the show, so i'm picking it up for sure.

For some unknown reason, a 24 year old guy, myself got tons of the references, I mean, WACKY RACES!!!

Kimi ni Todoke is an autobuy, Enma-kun, I am going to have to see what it comes with, plus be nice to get good subs with it finally.

Strange, I was talking to a friend the other day about NIS America, I was saying they're probably going to be huge soon as they're getting some quality series'. Then, like 2 days later they come out with Kimi ni. ME GUSTA, I AM PSYCHIC.

Never heard of their other show mind, taking risks with that most likely.

You'll get a poster and an art book with the first volume, and and another art book with volume 2. The art books usually have original cast interviews and shit like that, as for extras on the discs you'll just clean OP's and ED's.

Now how big is this art book? Is it a few pages or is it something like 100+ pages? Will these be translated into English or will it be kept in Japanese?

Sadly no since this is NIS and they just got into the anime business. I'm just saddened that Pandora Hearts will never be dubbed. I might as well buy it anyways since its looking pretty bleak for it ever getting one. I'm really starting to loose faith in the American anime industry cause a few years back all we got were dubs (well for the most part) now its all subtitled shit that for the most part have no extras to make it appealing to buy plus bland DVD covers.

I know man same here, but I kinda figured it was going to be subbed only anyways I was just hoping Sentai would have gotten it instead since they eventually go back and dub their series if they sell well.

Damn it! That means no dub for Kimi ni Todoke. I was so looking forward to get it licensed by any companies that dub their anime but not NIS! I'm so disappointed. I know they're new but still, I really want them to dub the anime they license.
I only buy anime that has both dub and sub. (Pokemon movies are an exception for me)

Considering th crappy dubs they do for their games, I think anyone can agree that no dub it's better. They don't have the resources for quality dubs.

1. It's the size of the packaging.
2. It wont have loads of pages, the 2 I got with the Toradora volumes have 26 pages each. Both books are hard backs, and are well made.
3. English.

Well ok then I guess I'll buy it then, but I wonder what I will do with my subbed versions if they really will go back and dub their library later?

Sadly the Pandora Hearts ones might be out of print. Oh well I can always get a bigger artbook for like $60 dollars. I seen it last year at an anime convention, but I only had $80 to spend that year. *sad face*

Edit: I changed my mind after I read NiS isn't going to dub any of their anime ever. Which sucks since Pandora Hearts would have sold well as a dub. Nope not buying any of their anime now. Lets hope they stay away from 07 Ghost!

aww, no KimiTodo dub. D;

Still. I've seen the packaging and extras with their releases before and they are GORGEOUS so I know it's worth the buy...but I'm still disappointed about the lack of dub D;
I do still hope they eventually make enough money to go back and re-dub the series they've licensed, because they've got some big titles under their belt and it'd be a shame for them to have no dub at all.

Also, I don't understand why people complain when series they don't like get licensed. No-one's going to force you to buy it. :/
