Yes, but most of them aren't into anime. As for the ones who are, none of them import.

Current legal option: Learn Japanese, and import the Blu-ray box.

The show is not licensed here, or legally streaming anywhere.

That is extremely disappointing, I'd like to own Bakemono one day.

You better learn Japanese and import that thing. Not just simple Japanese either, Bakemono relies heavily on subtle humour and fast paced dialogue. Lots of Japanese word play too.
 
Well we have to wait. Companies passed on getting it before it aired, and after it was all done, it was a massive top-seller, so licensing costs are massive for it now as they can be affected by Japanese sales and popularity. Who knows if anyone getting the title would be able to break even on licensing costs alone.

Aniplex USA gave this update last May, and no one has heard anything since.
During its panel, Aniplex acknowledged that negotiations are ongoing for licensing both Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Bakemonogatari. Aniplex added, "Stay tuned."

They did get Nisemonogatari though. No word on how when/if/how they'll release it. The site just talks about the simulcast.

On a side-note, many people were shocked they didn't try bringing over that Bakemonogatari Blu-ray box as a direct import.

Finally finished Yosuga no Sora. Too much drama, too little action :(

Still very much worth it but damn... this thing should have 2, 3 episodes at most.
 
Papa no Kiki 6 was adorable. I also like the "antagonist" of the show :lol:

I enjoyed the drama in the end and at least they saved the best for last :3

So I've watched the first 5 minutes of Mawaru Penguindrum, and just from the art alone I think I'm gonna like it.

I'm interested in watching that, but I'm still waiting for someone to pick it up. In that license survey FUNi put out like last month, that show was included on there. That was one of the shows I voted for that I'd like to see licensed.

Sigh, there are a few shows from 2011 I want to watch that no one bothered picking up, the biggest being AnoHana. The licensing fees must be pretty big now due to how well it sold.
 
Nobody picking up Anohana doesn't logic to my brain. Seriously, that show tugged on my heart, hard.


Apparently Mawaru Penguindrum has Bakemonogatari-esque directing. I'm interested now.

Rise is overrated, btw.

[B][color=#E42217]Anohana is next on my list after I finish Burst Angel and Mayo Chiki!.


A girl working at a restaurant I went to today looked remarkably like Chiaki from Mouretsu Pirates. I am in love, guys!


Picked up this Vash today for $6:

I wonder if his aim is as bad as a real Stormtrooper's...:sly:
"Mein Gott, I'd hate to be on cleaning duties in the Stormtroopers' bathroom." :sick:

Just added my backpack to my sig. As always, it's a work in progress.

That's one huge backpack. Then again, you'd need plenty of room for Asuka's ego. :lol:
"Just for that, tonight, I will be merciless." :trouble:
"Wut...OH GOD NOT THAT!!!"
 
Dravonic
Holy crap.

Someone please tell me there are more scenes like this in this Nisemono. That was awesome.

There's plenty of great fanservice, but that great? Maybe
Shinobu in a bath X3
but that's it so far.

Watch Bakemonogatari already!
 
Oh man you guys are right. Nise 8 is wonderful!

Her body-hugging him. His foot on her head. The toothbrushing. OMG THE TOOTHBRUSHING!

I think I had a chubby this entire episode.
 
Well, I can easily see where your minds are all at.

Also, I am waiting for the day when TC lives up to being Otaku (self proclaimed Anime cool kid, remember guys) and watches fansubs on stuff that may never get a license over here.
