ToraDora Licensed
Just a random note to break my long streak of not updating. NIS America has licensed ToraDora. It’s not surprising to me that TD got picked up- it was an excellent series after all. What is surprising is that NIS America is now in the anime import business. I guess it’s not a huge change from what they were previously doing, that is, importing JRPGs such as Disgaea.
Last I heard, FY2009 was not very kind to their pocketbooks. I hope that they are able to right the ship by branching out into other markets. I’m not sure that bringing anime to American will net them much money, but at least they picked a good series to with which to start their new ventures. I’m sure it’s very tricky to cater to such niche markets, but that’s a game NIS America is very used to.
