So, I don't know if you guys even check or "like" American Anime&Manga companies' official Facebook pages, but - they're an amazzzinggggg way to get their [employees and/or higher ups] attention. ESPECIALLY IF PEOPLE BAND TOGETHER WITH THEIR REQUESTS AND POST ON THE WALL EVERY SO OFTEN WITH THE SAME SERIES.
I don't think anyone knows me personally besides one person on here, but, I was constantly posting on Aniplex of America's Facebook page for a good solid couple of months just saying things like "I really think you should license Bakemonotogari", "You should get Bakemonotogari", etc. Of course, it wasn't just me...more people did the same thing, too.
And, guess what? They listened and they delivered.
Now, is it just this that made it get licensed? Probably not (at least completely). But, I would like to believe it helped in getting it. I also think doing things like writing in FUNimation's survey to license Bakemonotogari helped, too.
Another thing that was discussed by myself and other people on Aniplex's Facebook page was the fact that OreImo's Limited Edition box set was already sold out and people were asking for $300-$1,000 on auction sites for it. Ridiculous, right? Well, we wanted them to re-release it so we discussed and kept going on them about it, too. Guess, what? They're doing that, too.
Going back to FUNimation's survey, they had listed 'Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai' on there. Nothing was done about that from FUNi again. NIS America to the rescue! They're releasing it in one of their awesome "premium edition" sets as an entire series with books, pictures, guides, etc.
To go to the Japanese side of things, does anyone know about the infamous 'Sakura Miku' bootleg/customs that have been floating around for a while on the Internet? Well, GSC listened, too. item #104300
And, GSC also listens to e-mails and answers everything in your e-mail to the best of their ability. Even sneaking a few announcements here and there if you word stuff right.
So, my reaction to all of this???
But, anyways, I just wanted to talk about this awesome news and show you guys that...if you really want a series, fight for it. Fill out surveys when they release them, bug companies about what you want licensed, get people to ask for them with you, etc. They are willing to listen to their fans, you just have to make the honest effort. Make you opinions heard!
Oh, and Happy Easter <33333
