The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was handled in North America by Bandai Entertainment; on the other hand Manga Entertainment has picked up Summer Wars for the UK, so we'll see who snatches it here later. (If you want my bet, I'd lean towards Manga, but on the other hand, BEI has worked with Manga Entertainment for titles like Gurren Lagann, so it could even be a combo thereof...assuming it's not some other company entirely!)
MovieStop, if you're curious, is apparently an offshoot from GameStop, but not a very common one-- there aren't any in California, for example.
Now, the likelihood of Summer Wars being licensed is pretty much 100%, it's just a matter of when. And a summer release sounds about right, don't you think? As for the rest of it, only time will tell!
How badly do you want to see Summer Wars?
I want to see it real bad.
@FoxxFireArt:
Wow so that had nothing to do with the original article.
John, you make me sad. Xam'd was a great show. You're really missing out :(
Really? I'll check it out with the proper endorsement. But my entire outlook on anime is that most series need personal handshakes for endorsements, since there's just so many, and so many generic versions of the same stories.
