Licensing SQUID: Media Blasters acquires Squid Girl

Licensing SQUID: Media Blasters acquires Squid Girl photo



No, I'm not squiddin' you! The fine humans at Media Blasters have officially become race traitors, and chosen to aid and abet the invasion of mankind by the lifeform known as Squid Girl. We're all doomed! The blood of billions will be the ink that seals their sordid deal.

With Japan already subjugated by its tentacled overlord, Media Blasters will be opening the bay for the second wave this September.

To make this treasonous Pasta Negra more palatable to foreigners, the OP animation will be getting an alteration. Check it out below.*

*Just kidding, the OP isn't being altered at all.

Great but where in the world is Zetsubou-Sensei?
makes sense, i thoroughly enjoyed ika musume
I expected that Squid Girl would be released eventually. But I did not expect that Media Blasters would be the company. It has licensed only a few anime titles over the last few years, and has instead re-issued older anime, and live action movies and shows.

It has been a while since Media Blasters licensed the first season of Zetsubou Sensei, and there has been very little news since then. At least the original comics are still getting translated.
@Metalsnakezero

Zetsubou has been given a December release date. If that sticks or not remains to be seen but it didn't have a date at all for a long time. It was just TBD.

As far as Squid Girl goes I'm looking forward to it. It surprised me that Media Blasters licensed it as it doesn't really seem like their kind of show(at least not based on what they have released recently) and I have to say I'm surprised at the price it will have given the fact that it has a dub(only 25 bucks MSRP which means it will be 20 bucks or lower at most places)
Really curious how the dub will handle the de geso.
Very happy Squid Girl got licensed de gesu
What infjeff said. Wonder if the dub will just flat-out include "geso" at the end of sentences or somehow actually translate it.
Given the non-geso sub on CrunchyRoll, I'll be guessing they'll be going with squid puns instead...

Let's just hope they still call her Ika Musume instead of just Squid Girl... you know they will...
what a waste.. the picture i mean.
I wouldn't mind the whole Crunchyroll inserting squid everywhere like the way Smurfs smurf about smurf.
I sort of hope they don't translate it. I mean if they try to translate it or have the actor say it. It's just gonna end up like the horrible "believe it!!" thing from the early days of Naruto. I don't know about you guys but I could live without another dub doing something like that again...

Japanator Interviews: DAISUKI.net's Eri Maruyama

You might of heard that there is a new streaming site that has just launched out of Japan. It is being backed by some big names in the anime world like Aniplex, Sunrise, and Toei. What could that exactly mean for you, you ask? Well, let me let Eri Maruyama (International Business Development) at DAISUKI answer that as well as many more burning questions that I had about the new service.
