Wasn't Saint Young Men the one the author didn't want to come to the states (either movie or manga) because she thinks they would find it super offensive and doesn't want to, or am I wrong?

Good list. Didn't know many of them were not licenced in the US. We have Mind Game, Piano no Mori, the Steins;Gate movie and High Speed! here in Germany. I'd love to see Angel's Egg released overseas, though; easily my favorite movie in the arthouse department.
They animated both Hinata no Aoshigueru and Shashinkan. Both are about the same length (and better than Taifuu no Noruda, especially Shashinkan). Edit: Okay, Hinata and Shashinkan are both ~10m shorter. |

For the anime that needs a sequel poll: can we add Chihayafuru to the list? Thanks!

I did just that. Would have liked to add another two (Silver Spoon and Space Brothers), though. |

I see One Punch Man on the list, it's already been confirmed that there will be a sequel though...

Silver Spoon, yesssss. It's a terrible oversight that the manga hasn't been licensed - somebody needs to make amends.
Just as a head's up: Yona seems to be on the list twice: once in Japanese and once in English. Last edited by MikeNeko San on Sat Nov 19, 2016 11:37 am; edited 1 time in total |

I completely agree. OPM shouldn't be on the list with a sequel already on the way. Anyway, I voted for Magical Index. I want to see the rest of the novels adapted. |

Oh, Mind Game, how I wish you'd get a BD release somewhere in the world... Back when it was on Neflix in the US, was it streamed in high definition?

I'd love a Criterion release of Mind Game...or any release really.

I saw Mind Game for free as part of a small film festival several months ago. Certainly, I am glad to have seen something so unhinged, multifaceted and sexually energetic, but as much as the film almost taunts the viewer to subject it to a more careful eye, I cannot say I am in any hurry to repeat the experience.

Piano no Mori: I watched this fansubbed back in 2012 out of curiosity (and because there was no other way to see it). It's an absolutely beautiful film with great music and an interesting story in regards to growing up; a shame it hasn't seen any kind of release since its premiere a little over nine years ago.
Angel's Egg: Still needs some kind of physical distribution, but nothing yet to this day. What was the story behind this not getting a home release again? Something about who holds the original copyright to it? Saint Young Men: This should be released regardless of how overly sensitive Christians might react. They get offended at literally everything involving their religious figurehead anyway. What's one more anime really? |

I'm still hoping Funimation licenses the previous One Piece films in the future.

Gantz:O needs to get licensed.
The Anime gods are blessing us with the true Code Geass sequel next week so there wont be a need to vote for it. |

Genshiken seeks to steer its most questionable plot arc into safer waters in its surprisingly thoughtful ninth volume.
― Genshiken Second Season has been a bit of a mess. In contrast with the original series' sensitive and remarkably grounded approach to fandom circles, Second Season has shifted from a promising setup into outright harem comedy territory, its characters moaning about their own cliche...

Answerman - Why Aren't Anime Sales Figures Made Public?

We'd really love to know exactly how well our favorite anime sold on Bluray and DVD. Why do they keep these numbers from us? Justin gets into it.
― Michael asks: I was wondering if you could explain the mindset behind why anime companies seem to be so secretive with their sales numbers. I could be wrong about this, but I don't see any benefit to not releasing how many units "title x" sold or how man...
