Opening

If this anime gets dubbed I will buy it.

I enjoyed this, thus I have the singles. That said, if they give this a dub and/or BD, and get Matt Greenfield to direct, then double-dip gold for me.

I forgot about this, the hyped “spiritual successor” to HiME/Otome. It so desperately needed a dub, especially “Ray-oh-pard-oh” (Why the Japanese named their ship after something their actor couldn’t pronounce…). I remember watching, oh, maybe 7 episodes of it subbed. I get this confused with “The Girl who Leapt Through Time” too often.

I agree regarding the dub, though since I don’t own it I’d probably get it regardless of director (though I would like to hear Greenfield’s work).
