If you checked Rightstuf.com or ANN in the last 24 hours, you knew that there was going to be a special licensing announcement at 3:00 PM Eastern. Well, that’s the time as I start writing this, and the license is revealed.
It’s Aria, and it’s set to be released on September 30, 2008. It appears that they’re releasing it straight out as a boxset of season 1, that’s 13 episodes, which I think is pretty cool.
I’m not going to pretend to know much about the series, so I looked up some information on the wiki page. It follows the story of a girl named Akari as she tries to become the best gondolier in Neo-Venezia. It sounds like an interesting premise to me. The manga version of the series (the anime is the adaptation) hits the best seller lists in Japan. The second season is 26 episodes in length, and I can’t imagine it not being released too.
It’s probably something I’ll check out when it’s released. What are your thoughts on the announcement?
Edit: According to ANN, the boxset will have Japanese audio and English subs.
ARIA FUCK YEAH!
My thoughts on this, CJ, are that it’s an amazing show and that this is great news and that you should most definitely check it out!
Good advice for CJ, but I wrote this post. ;)
F*** team blogs, I want to live!
Hey LK, you got hit by the 4chan Party Van (aka CENSOR’D) so watch it next time. ^_^
You want to live? You haven’t lived until you’ve written for a team blog.
That’s right, life itself is against you. :P
CJ is cramping my style. From now on, I’m going Ani-nouto on this site. All comments will be in the form of new posts. If it’s not worth a post, it’s not worth a comment. Enjoy your 1984 :(
