| NIS America entering the US anime industry? Awesome! They usually give away cool collector's items related to the things they sell on rosenqueen. |

| Oh my. Toradora and Pandora Hearts? So going to buy them when it gets here. |
| Hm Toradora! interesting. |
 |
| lol toradora. Looking at all the games they released. What the... |
| Toradora and Pandora Hearts? Both anime are made of win! This makes me happy :) |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Very good news. Definitely getting the Toradora DVD's. |

Sylpheed said: I hope some group rips the DVD version...I don't have access to those other than downloading. Import? and don't they have them (English Anime DVDs) on comic alley or something? though 800 pesos per volume XD |
| This was taken from another forum: "I sent an email to NIS asking if the releases were going to be subbed or dubbed and I actually got a reply in less than a day saying that all 4 series will be subbed but they may do a dub in the future. I sent the email to the address listed on their press release, the link to which I posted earlier." Looks like the company is going down the Sentai road, and waiting for first sales. Toradora can easily sell good enough for a dub, but it's Persona ~Trinity Soul~ i'm iffy about. |
| Yay for Toradora! (and the others as well) Perhaps we'll get the Toradora V/N on the PSP games since Disgaea Infinity (which is a v/n) is coming in America. But I can't take a bet on this. Also...Ar Tonelico 3 localisation WHERE? |
| I'm glad they got Toradora and Pandora Hearts. Might just pick up Pandora Hearts if I have the money. |

 |
| Looking forward to Toradora :D. |
| nice to see people not hating on dubs for a change XD |
| I'm highly supportive of this. Can't wait to see what they do. It's good that they chose popular titles, but I fear for the worst. It's great the companies like FUNimation and VizMedia finally have more competition. Kinda getting tired of having the both of them get almost all the good (or bad) titles. |
 |
| I'm excited for Pandora Hearts. I'll have to take a look at this company. I hope they do well! More dubbing companies are great for the industry. :) |
 |
| I'm excited that I'll be able to buy Pandora Hearts soon. I am a little worried about the dubbing, but that's alright. Not all dubbing is good, but I want to give money to the Japanese creators. |

| Interesting. I'm pumped for Toradora and PandoraHearts, though! two of my faves! |

| Oh, that's good news. It was about time we got some new anime here (beside FMA: Brotherhood.). Personally I was starting to get tired of all the Death Note, Ghost in the Shell, Big O, etc. I'm looking forward to watching them. (especially Pandora Hearts.) |

| Interview of NIS America's PR manager and Vice president on this week's ANNcast - Chances of it being dubbed are slim (because they are reluctant no one would buy it regardless, as Zac Bertsky pointed out) - They don't seem to expect Toradora to sell big despite gaining the largest buzz of the aquisitions they licensed. - It may only be available online via Rightstuf, Amazon, BestBuy (I think) |
| I hope Toradora is in English |
 |
| I'm really looking forward to Pandora Hearts and Persona. I really liked both shows. I hope they dub them (Pandora Hearts at least) but I have the sinking feeling they may not. :( |
 |
| In an ANN interview, they said they are not going to dub these first initial batch of shows they licensed because they want to play it safe with the finances. |

So what, they're gonna see how much they make from licensed subs then IF they manage to make a fair profit, release it dubbed? Ah damn it, I'd rather have Funimation have it even though I'm not a fan of monopoly. |

| Probably these first initial shows won't be dubbed at all, even at a later date. Though, if these shows do well, then maybe other shows that get licensed later will be dubbed. Who knows. |

| Cant Wait for Toradora Toys to come out :o |

Ah damn it, I'd rather have Funimation have it even though I'm not a fan of monopoly. Apparently someone has not seen what they're packing into the first release. The art book will be hot. |
| No English dub for Pandora Hearts? That's rather a shame, because if they did a good job it would have been nice, given its Victorian England-style setting. I hope there will be lots of cool features or something to make up for that... Imma want awesome Pandora Hearts DVDs! And it better be sweet covers for the cases too. |
| I was so excited by the news I found NIS and checked out their forums. I've especially wanted Pandora Hearts so I can have some decent footage for an AMV for the series. It has been mentioned here I think, but yes these titles will be released in Japanese with subs. I've checked out the pre-order info (only available for Trinity and Toradora at the moment) and in the listing they have... ------------------------------ Extra content: OP/ ED Clean versions, and more! (Details will be updated soon!) Premium Box with bonus item: 30+ page, full color, hardcover art book (approx. 10" x 7"), including interviews with the original Japanese voice actors/actresses. -------------------------------- So it looks like they'll be nicely packed sets. Toradora's first set release is 2 DVDs covering 13 episodes. :) In one comment response about the sub decision, they said it would cost them 10k to dub one episode (remember this is a company that doesn't have the same resources that Funimation does). So dubbing 4 normal length series would be a steep million dollars. Again if it takes off well it does sound like there's hope they'd do dubs in the future. Well I wish them well stepping into the anime industry. I definitely have my eye on Pandora Heart's and maybe Toradora. |
| this nice, now ill be able to buy an actual boxset of toradora. they wont dub it though, check the forums at nisamer. |

| Pandora Hearts has licended in France =D |

I understand and respect their decision completely, but god, I'm disappointed that Toradora and Pandora Hearts won't be dubbed ;_; Well, at least hopefully if they make a lot of money from this they might be able to dub and re-release them later, so there's still hope. |
| would like to buy pandora hearts, hope it gets a dub |

| oh no |
| Total bull that they aren't getting dubs. They WILL NOT be getting my money. |
