Air News Makes Me Happy
After all the overblown doom and gloom this week about the status of anime in America, re the ICV2 article and the concern over some English dub-production being shipped to Odex, I’m happy to see some good news. Yeah, I don’t do news, so I’m not posting to inform you about Air being licensed [...]
