Thank you, RightStuf/Nozomi..

Aria-shachou is watching?

..for making my dreams come true.

First, Marimite DVD trailer was posted today.
LOL at “Lady Sachiko Ogasawara”, but no worries, they’re doing us fans a big favor by releasing TWO subtitles for Marimite, the other one retains the original honorifics~ xD

Looking at the trailer brings back memories.. Marimite was one of the first anime I really liked and also responsible in making me a seiyuu fan (still tops my list as the best ensemble cast ever).

Coming next in September is ARIA, one of the best anime of all time. I should refrain from praising/talking about the series here otherwise I’ll start babbling a seriously long crap, lol.

Actually, they will release Emma: A Victorian Romance first in June. I haven’t seen the anime, but I recall liking the manga long time ago, maybe it’s time to watch it.

*cough* It’s only subtext

And so, I’ve pre-ordered all of them~ my very first R1 DVDs. Have to worry about the player later -I only got one drive each for R2 (Jap) and R4 (Aus). They’re at an unbelievably cheap bargain at US$37.49/boxset (pre-order price, heck, I’d pay triple and it’s still way cheaper than R2 releases).

For Marimite, you get the whole first season that comes without dub (!), 7 specials (those cute Naisho chibis~), and character bios + liner notes (must be the soeur system explanation). Wondering if they gonna release the 3 fan-discs too..

I’m actually pretty surprised RightStuf/Nozomi picked up those anime.. they seem to pay more attention for the niche market. Madman will NEVER release them here; the chance is as big as Narucrap goes slice-of-life.

On the other note, I shouldn’t get my hopes up high, but I’m seriously praying they will also pick up Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha. But maybe not, since those Amerikans must be afraid seeing the little girls’ transformation scenes, lol~ xD

Ditto

So yeah, please support Marimite/Aria/Emma if you liked it.
