NIS America to Publish Anime
With the recent losses of some anime publishers in America, it's welcome news that another company will be stepping up. NIS America, a subsidiary of Nippon Ichi Software, is known for bringing quirky niche video game titles like Disgaea to the United States.
In a press release dated February 12, the company has announced their intention to meet the growing demand for Japanese culture in America by releasing anime series on DVD. The "first 4 anime titles" are: "Toradora", "PERSONA -trinity soul-", "PandoraHearts", and "Our Home's Fox Deity".
These four shows seem to span the thematic spectrum. It ranges from the darks of Persona to the high school love of Toradora. I look forward to seeing how well NIS America's efforts do. Their experience in the niche market of RPG and Strategy RPG video games should prepare them well for a similar experience in anime.
