About MARIA WATCHES OVER US (Maria-sama ga Miteru) - Season 1

When Yumi Fukuzawa entered the Lillian Girls' Academy, a prestigious all-girls Catholic school in Tokyo, she never imagined she would catch the eye of beautiful and demure Sachiko Ogasawara, one of the school's most popular students. Now Sachiko has offered to be Yumi's soeur -- her "sister" and guide for all her years at the academy. The whole idea has Yumi completely flustered: After all, they hardly know each other! The entire campus is abuzz with rumors about the two of them, but Yumi is conflicted over accepting Sachiko's offer. While she admires Sachiko, being her soeur would also mean constantly being at the center of the entire school's attention! Contains the complete 13-episode first season, plus the Season 1 "specials."

I'm really stoked about this release. It's great to know that you have the little SD outtake shorts, but I'm really curious what else you have in store for this release. I was expecting a 3 disc release but its 4... I'm curious to see how you'll put that extra disc space to use. And physical extras are also great. With all the love you guys are putting into Emma, I'm really excited to see what you have in store for MariMite.

This is a totally blind buy (unless you count a few screencaps), yet your almost-understated sales-pitch-disguised-as-an-announcement, combined with the smothering love exuded by fans, have managed to get a pre-order out of me, even though I said I could wait for a Nozomi sale, no matter how far off the next one might be.

And since I'm an obsessive completionist, I'll probably place orders for boxes 2 and 3 as soon as I have other things to pre-order with nearby release dates.

You win again, Alison. <shake object="fist" implication="someday..."/>

I've never seen this show, but my sources tell me it's well worth the watch. And I trust my sources.

So I decided to preorder all three! crazy

It'll most likely appear in Otaku USA Magazine's DVD.

though has anyone actually checked out pix or whatever newtype usa became? I cant find it on newstands anymore, and just the whole name turns me off, considering i was a fan of the original newtype in japan. That and otaku usa / anime insider seem to keep me happy.

I was thinking more along the lines of free preview. wink I don't really like Otaku USA, not enough to spend money on it, I'm just curious about the subtitles. Which will in no way determine my buying, I should point out. Unless they're 4Kids bad, this show is mine. grin

We've done previews on IGN and on DVD with both OTAKU USA and the old Newtype. (It's something upon which I place a priority, especially with the set-only releases.)

Keep an eye on the forums, newsfeeds and Twitter. smile

Alison's got us all Twitterpated. grin

I'm looking forward to everything little thing that comes out for this show. I'm also hoping the anime will give it enough exposure that someone will finally release the manga and novels.

Did you order it by itself? Or with other items? (Sometimes the system holds shipments to wait for all -- or most -- of the items to arrive in our warehouse.)
