'Legend of the Galactic Heroes' and 'Higurashi no Naku Koro ni' Licensed for North America [Update 7/3]
| Does this mean finally a dub, or just a domestic release? |
| I know someone who will be happy to see that Higurashi's finally getting licensed. |
 |
| LoGH will look glorious on my shelf with Kozure Ookami. |
| Interesting that a series this old got licensed. It's memetic popularity on sites like Reddit or MAL perhaps helped. |

They announced some musicals and even a continuation awhile back. But this is seriously awesome. Though first 3 volumes are pretty much already fan translated, I'm hoping they pick up the rest of the volumes too. This put me in a really good mood. I'm always up for more LoGH! |

| If only all the elitists cared about their beloved show to buy it. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| Now I find out that the novels are coming as well. I'm ecstatic. I've been waiting for this for years. Better get my wallet ready. |

| Don't think I will be reading the novels. Will buy the dvds though if they get released. |
| "When They Cry/When They Cry 2/When They Cry Gratitude" Those are some godawful title translations if I ever saw it =_= |

| Good news for both elitists and plebs |

| Oh nice, Higurashi no Naku koro ni is one of the only series I plan to get now. Recently bought the improved Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch.1 Onikakushi as well. Pretty nice news. |

I bought the Gatchaman complete collection from RightStuf, which contains 105 episodes, and the 3-episode OVA on sale for $77.99, while it was $97.49 regular, and that was also put out by Sentai. |

| I hope it get's dubbed starring lauren baily, greg ares and tod habbercorn as reinhard julian and wenli respictively. Lets see if actually gets released and it doesn't become like that so called remake which is in limbo. |
| you sound poor |
| I highly doubt it gets dubbed, it would be way too expensive to cast each individual character. And having people do more than one role isn't acceptable because the circlejerk that routinely dubs anime isn't talented enough to make it work. |
  |
| Wow! Definitely buying Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Awesome that it's being licensed after all these years |
 |
| I'm happy that Higurashi and LOGH are finally licensed. Now I'm just waiting for Kaiji. |
| Well, this is fucking awesome. |

Its going to be a subbed only release unless Sentai is going to take that drastic step which they probably won't its way too risky. I just want it on Bluray since they exist in Japan. Higurashi will most likely get the sub only release treatment too like with Familiar of Zero now unlike with LoGH it has a good chance of getting a dub if both the second season and OVAs sell well for them. The only thing is if they will call back the old cast or re-cast with their own VAs. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Since Sentai is probably going to go with sub only for Higurashi, I'll be sticking with the Australia import. |

Roloko said: I'm not buying the novels until I know all of them are coming out cause if it sells like shit then I'll have an incomplete collection. This. I am really interested for the books and looked for them before the announcement but I am not going to take the risk to start buying something on the not improbable chance that they stop translating it after a few volumes. If they keep the pace of 3 volumes per year it will nearly take 5 years to complete... If they manage to complete the series that's when I am going to buy hoping that it won't be out of print or that a e-book version is available. |
| FINALLY! Hopefully it'll get the recognition by the anime community as a whole that's long overdue if you ask me. |
Take care of yourself |

Not to mention the amount of VA's they'd have to get their hands on. The cast is huge! I certainly hope we get the BD's although I worry that because Japan and the US have the same BD region, sometimes they're only willing to sell DVD license for fear of reverse importation. |

| Whoa, I can't believe this is actually happening. This is great news! |

The blu ray transfer is bad anyway apparently. |

| Watching LoGH rn and loving it, Higurashi hopefully will get a re-dub (even though I switched to the subs of it already) to replace that god awful dub it has. |
 |
| It's about time...Might as well sell my Geneon DVDs |

My biggest worry about all of this is that if it is DVD only they don't have the right aspect ratio cause I don't want it to be letter boxed in. I have a 32' in the living room and I really want to watch this with my Dad and it would be a shame if it doesn't fit the entire screen. I tried messing with the aspect on my older Gundam/anime boxsets, but nothing worked and it was still letter boxed. -___- |

The only way of changing that is to stretch everything and make it look like shit. |

| i thought Funimation acquired the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When they Cry) |

| So are we ever going to get a dub for Higurashi or what? Because I looked at Sentai's filmworks catalog and Higurashi wasn't even on there. I'm starting to think that it's never gonna happen, considering it's been so long and there hasn't been any news since this was announced almost two years ago |

So Sentai won't risk dubbing something that they know will not sell much. |
