NISA licenses AnoHana, Kimi ni Todoke S2
Nippon Ichi just had a big to-do in San Francisco last night, and out of it, they announced five new titles -- not all of them are anime, though. The first two are anime: Ano Hana and Kimi ni Todoke S2. The former, rebranded as The Flower We Saw That Day, isn't a huge surprise for followers of the company. The latter is no surprise at all -- Kimi ni Todoke has been a big series for them. The other three announcements are games: The Witch and the Hundred Knights, Mugen Souls, and Legasista. The first two are going to be full-fledged PS3 releases, while Legasista will be a PSN release. We've got limited details after the jump, but you can guess what these titles are going to be like. So, who's pumped for some Ano Hana? I've been dying to check out this series, and now will be the perfect chance! We've got an interview with Nippon Ichi popping up in the coming weeks, so be sure to keep an eye out for that -- we'll be discussing the ideology that is Nippon Ichi's anime licensing. About The Witch and the Hundred Knights Two powerful witches have been battling one another for over a hundred years. Now, the Swamp Witch has unleashed the legendary Dark Knights, and seeks to destroy the Forest Witch once and for all! Adopting high-res, fully 3D environments and characters, as well as a dark fantasy world brought to life by Takehito Harada, The Witch and the Hundred Knights will deliver a brand-new action RPG experience from Nippon Ichi Software! In The Witch and the Hundred Knights, being bad is good! Save the innocent or take part in the ransacking—it’s all up to you! The Witch and the Hundred Knights will hit store shelves in early 2013.
