More competition in the U.S. anime market is always a plus. I look forward to supporting this new company. |

Interesting seeing as how Nippon Ichi's stocks dropped nearly 20% due to their poor profits in gaming for the last year or so. Guess they're going to try and get a profit from a different media.  |

Wow, Nippon Ichi was the one to take Toradora? That's some pretty wild news.   |

Nice way to enter the anime industry :) I'll buy all four without a doubt. Hopefully the company will license more anime series :o  |

Hopefully Pandora Hearts gets released over here in the UK. I haven't watched any of the other series, but I'm sure they're good too~ |

Most interesting "R1 anime"-related news this year. Toradora is an instant buy, the others are all maybes (depending on how they will handle them). [fancy signature here] |

Guess they're going to try and get a profit from a different media. Voice actor Greg Ayres (a fav of mine) once said that Japan's anime industry's success is also relied on U.S. supporting co's like Funimation, Viz Media, Geneon U.S. and so forth. The titles sound interesting. |

Persona ? Strange idea, it was pretty bad. But yes for Toradora!, I'm surprised it wasn't already acquired.    |
