Good.What exactly does Sentai Filmworks do?Sub?Dub?

[Julio]

They usueally dub, but I guess this one will be sub only which is cheap.

[Daverost]

wat

Why Xenoglossia? <.<

And I don't usually buy sub-only releases, but I guess I have to show some financial support to iM@S however I can.

[RisingStar]

Why would they choose Xenoglossia? Wouldn't the anime about the the actual game had been a better choice?

[Daverost]

I can only imagine licensing fees were through the roof.

Either that it they were aiming for both and couldn't finish negotiations for the new series on time. Or maybe they will put it out later since the last blu-ray just came out and Japan is being such a collective baby about reverse importing that they have to space out the release.

There's really no way to know why they did it.

[JNiles]

Urgh... I never considered the possibility that the anime (the REAL one) could get stuck in licensing hell...

I'm not too sure about demographics but aren't robots more popular in the US than just idols doing cute things?
If they're then Xenoglossia is the obvious choice.

I don't agree with that.
Screaming teenage girls might find idols doing cute things just the ticket. Especially with the popularity of Vocaloid.

No disagreement from me there.

The biggest problem I have with Xenoglossia is that the voices are different from the rest of the series. If they dub it and somehow expand the iM@S franchise outside of Japan, that could allow for Xenoglossia to be consistent... In English, anyway.

Seems interesting, though. It could be a kickstarter to more iM@S in the English-speaking world, but I still have many doubts about iM@S being localized.

kickstarter

That is an evil word.

Oh you didn't mean the money thing?
Well how is idolm@ster supposed to catch on with that piece of shit anime anyway? People will totally get the wrong idea.

I realized after that someone might get the wrong impression, but I don't mean that website where you fund things with money.

And you're right about Xenoglossia not catching on. From a (pretty bad) show about mechs to a game about pushing buttons in time to music and dressing up teenage girls... Kind of a big difference there.
