憂喜參半

The good news first, since I read this first.

NIS America has licensed all four seasons of Natsume Yuujinchou and will be releasing them on discs!!

キタ━━━( ゚ ∀ ゚ )━━━!!

I've been waiting for this for so long... (つд`)

Since it's NISA, premium packaging with a full-colour artbook will be expected. If the series is available in blu-ray in Japan right now, it'll likely get a blu-ray release here as well.

Depending on when they plan to push out the releases, it might be their main pitch for this year's AX. So there's a chance for at least one seiyuu from the show to be a guest at AX... もしそうなら…ついに妄想してる。

Now the bad news.

Bandai Entertainment won't be licensing or actively distributing titles in North America, and three previously announced series were cancelled: Gosick, Nichijou, Turn-A Gundam. This also means there won't be a complete collection release for Tales of the Abyss.

AHHHHHH!! Why couldn't you wait until after you give me Turn-A Gundam! 。゚(゚つД`゚)゜。ウァァァン

The only comforting news is that Star Driver and the original 1979 Gundam series will be released in full before they shut down.

Gundam Unicorn? I'm waiting for all six to come out before ordering all six from Japan.
