Hey all,

I was hearing some disturbing rumors from Anime Boston today that season 2 has BEEN LICENSED. Now I don't know if this is official or not, but according to some dialogue at the industry panel today:
[20:31:06] do you have R2?

[20:31:11] yes, we will be handling R2 as well

I talked to a guy who was at the panel who heard this information directly.

Well folks, I hope this does not seriously impact us getting timely fansubs.
Discuss!

I just assumed that season 2 was licensed when they got season 1.
Maybe only ADV (so much hate for them right now) does that.

Usually seasons/OAVs/movies/etc are all licensed seperately, if for nothing else than they won't know how well the first season will sell.
If they did grap R2, they must be expected a massive hit.

...on the other hand, what's the pin? it'll take them the whole year to finish season 1 anyway...

well ADV did grab the 2nd season of Tokyo Majin, when they licensed Act 1.
So I wouldn't think it to be unusual.

I agree with that statement on so many levels right now. Thank you for showing me I'm not alone.

well i'm sitting here with 1 out of 6 DVDs for Tokyo Majin. Since due to some stupid human error about ironically licensing DVD 2 was delayed, and since they were all already extremely SLOW with releasing DVDs, something like 1 every 2 months... I find myself still with only DVD 1. It is quite annoying. I'm sure there are tons of people annoyed with ADV Films.

But when they announced acquiring Tokyo Majin, they said that (at the time not aired yet in Japan) Act 2, which killed the limited fansubs of that series. So I think i'm in the right to hate them right now. ^^

Yeah. I know what you mean. Atleast Tokyo Majin has a release date. They completely screwed over Gurren Lagann last I checked. It was due out in February and they just put it on hiatus.

Its a shame about Tokyo Majin though since I really need to see more of that show.

i watched the entire act 2 w/o subs. It's not a series you can watch w/o subs.
Tokyo Majin DVD Feb 2? something... still waiting... oh the joys of being a real fan. ADV put a few titles on hiatus, and said a few others had already been shipped to suppliers, which in fact was not true, so here I sit. One day I will learn my lesson and just wait for the boxset to come out. I mean I have Shounen Onmyouji 1 & 2 with an artbox. -_-

I watched almost all of Code Geass w/o subs, because i just didn't bother to watch the subs. >.>
