The fold-out poster looks interesting, as does the clean-credit
OP and ED -- oooooh, swwwWEEET!!

Japanese piracy warnings?

I'm still personally wondering about the dub vo's, who did them
and how they sound...hmmm

looks great. now if i can only get my hands on it.

quick question: when a company licenses a series, do they automatically license any following seasons of the anime?

The anti-priacy warnings- alot of anime DVDs have em at the end of the DVD- usualy (that I've seen) just a short sequence of clips from the DVD eps while one of the characters blathers on about not copying...

Deckard- I don't think they do.
ADV doesn't automatically have the rights to the second season just from having the first.

If ADV knew the 2nd season was in the works when they negoitated the first one, perhaps they could have gotten an option on it. An option would be that they are first in line to get the second season, if they chose. (it might be that it could be 'reserved' for them, for a small price, I'm not sure exactly how 'option' works)

Without an option, perhaps ADV might be able to snag it easy if they want, anyhow, since they've already established a favorable business relationship with whoever is working with the first season (assuming that it's the same people)

But, for all we know, they already have it, (or are working on it), I would only say that just from seeing studios pick up stuff that isn't finished (or even beginning) airing yet. I would never have wondered that last year....
But seperate seasons are usually seperate lisences, I believe.
