I will be buying these both on Blu-ray when released. Nis America is the best they license everything that is good and popular that other companies wont license.  How to Watch Naruto Without Filler: http://bit.ly/LncQif How to Watch Bleach Without Filler (Complete): http://bit.ly/y0UQTO |

Cool. I love both Katanagatari and Arakawa Under The Bridge, though really I'd rather see them publish the light novels for Katanagatari and the manga for Arakawa Under The Bridge.

I'm not a fan of dubs in general, but Katanagatari and Arakawa Under the Bridge would just not work very well dubbed at all. 私のホバークラフトは鰻でいっぱいです |

I'm actually disappointed. NIS seems to have a bad time with sales. For example I looked on Amazon for Working!! which was just released last month and it seems to essentially be out of stock with only one copy available for $70. The same thing seems to be happening with Toradora. |

Is it just me, but aren't a lot of animes getting serialized in America since 4Kids filed for bankruptcy? I am aware that there really isn't a relationship between these types of anime and what 4kids deals with. Though, this is an interesting correlation, is it not? Am I the only one seeing this?

They'd work fine, don't be a hater. I'll be definitely buying these releases, that packaging is just awesome. NIS America may not have the kind of budget to dub anime yet, but they certainly have enough to product good products. If you take anime seriously, you're autistic. |

That's just great. I've always wanted to watch Katanagari but I'm too lazy to download it and Arakawa Under The Bridge is hilarious. |
