Were is the official confirmation that Medaka Box is 12 episodes?. I have not seen official confirmation from weekly jump or the official website which normally states how many episodes a show is getting.

Why would they release a new promotional video just yesterday if it is only 12 episodes and regarding that press release they mention the battle royale and secrets of the school which basically is the flask plan which if it was 12 episodes would not even reach there so why would they mention it?

OMG NOOOOOOO!!! I want this to have more episodes than Beelzebub!! Guess I'll have to wait for a second season or read the manga, unless they changed their mind about having just 12 episodes. Hope the sales do well

For those who want a good story, with action adventure genre, with awesome characters, setting, and world building, and a tiny bits hinted romance along with badass actions, do try out Tower of God, it'll be the best thing you ever read in your whole life till date!

Because Medaka Box is obviously filled with DEEP and INTERESTING characters with EMOTIONAL backstories that are IMPOSSIBLE to carry over into English!

why do ppl complain about shows being dub into their own language? (even if its not ex. english.) If you dont like the dubs dont watch...its not like ur money will help them (since ur obviously not going to buy it)

In the end all things die, and all things are forgotten. It may take 1 day or a thousand years, but our names, deeds, and very existences will vanish unto dust in the end. From dust man came and to dust he returns.

But while man forgets, that which is beyond man remembers. Our true legacy lies not in the annals of history but the formless memories of creation itself. While civilizations rise and fall with the wind, God will never forget

Lol wtf does that mean? QB was Media Blaster's biggest title and Sentai getting the newest season isn't a good sign. "What has two arms, two legs, and is alive?

Why? Because Sentai sucks? Don't get me wrong, i prefer the japanese voices, but the english dubs is always a plus.

No I love Sentai and I also love English dubs I was saying it isn't a good sign for Media Blasters cause QB was their cash cow and it wouldn't surprise me if they were the next to fold.

That is not what I'm saying here. I watch dubs. Hell, I usually prefer to watch anime in English over Japanese.

It's just that Sentai's dubs are usually, um, pretty fucking terrible. I like Medaka Box, and would have liked for it to have a good or decent dub. Sentai will most likely fail in that regard, going by their track record.
