|  "Need five unlicensed anime series for club..."
, posted Fri 5 Sep 16:36:
Hey guys...
... five unlicensed series that you could recommend, preferably 13 or 26 episodes long, nearing the end of its run, but not licensed. Preferably not all of the same genre, with a bit of variety. Which series would you guys recommend?
I didn't have enough sense or backbone to bring up at my latest anime club officer's meeting that I had a problem showing licensed (or rumoredly licensed) series (Last Exile, Someday's Dreamers, Wolf's Rain, Azumanga Daioh, Saikano). While, certainly, the club would enjoy watching these series, I'm having a crisis of conscience continuing these series. And, I wanna replace these series ASAP before showing these series presents any problem for us. (We're one of the biggest anime clubs in the state, if not the biggest, so it could become an serious issue for us.)

See below and...
Last Exile - Licensed.
Someday's Dreamers - Licensed.
Wolf's Rain - Licensed.
Azumanga Daioh - Licensed.
Saikano - Not licensed.

scrapped princess - then some other stuff.
is gits TV licensed yet?
Yes, GitS TV was licensed long before the TV series came out.
As for series that'll bail you out:
Scrapped Princess - One of the best series this year, there's a princess who is said to be a curse to the land. I think this is a 26 episode series.
Kanon - This one is 13 episodes long. It's about a guy who returns to a town to remember its past to put it in a nutshell.
Onegai Twins - Though it's not over yet (since 7/13 of the episodes have been out), pick this one up. A guy tries to figure out which one of two girls is actually his twin.
Happy Lesson Advance - Need a 13-episode comedy series? Here you go, though it's not over yet (since about 7/13 of the episodes have been out). It's pretty much the same thing as the past HL series.
Nanaka 6/17 - It's 12 episodes and despite what you have heard, it is better than what people say. The reason you have the fraction is because a 17 year old girl has some accident and she becomes her 6 year old self.
Pitaten - An angel keeps on pestering a boy who has had a hard life. Even though it is a kids series, it's so funny and enjoyable and adding on, you have the artist of Di Gi Charat here. It's 26 episodes long by the way.
Boys Be - Think of a high school version of Friends, or Saved By the Bell/Beverly Hills 90210 and you sort of got it. I was supposed to watch it a while back, but oh well. If somehow, this interests you, it's 13 episodes.
To Heart - I'm sure you know this by now.
Hameln - 24 episodes long, it's about a guy and his violin who has to protect a girl.
Star Ocean EX - Anime based on the game. 26 episodes long.
Anime to fall back on if you need something different:
Hime-chan no Ribon - A girl gets hold of a ribbon and is able to do various tricks like transforming into different people. It's 60 episodes plus.
Guardress - Very hilarious OVA series. A girl has to protect a key from some evil people. Funny thing is that she loves the key, even though the key is her foster brother. It's only 4 OVA's long though.
Get Backers - Though it's double the requested length (49), it's one of the hottest series out there and it'll end next month. Two guys retreive stuff that was stolen or lost. One is part German who can use his Jaga to put you in a dream along with his raw strength in his Snake Bite and the other one can generate electricity.
Takino Tomo-chan - Kimura-sensei why did you become a teacher?
Kimura-sensei - CUZ I LIKE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS AND STUFF!

Maybe I'm crazy, but why don't you just buy some DVD's of offically released anime to show? That's just as good if not better, sure it's not free but nothing in life worth obtaining ever is.
(note: sorry if my assumption is wrong that you're only showing unlicensed anime since it's "okay" download off the internet and show for free... that's how most anime clubs I've visited work and it makes me upset... if you're a fan of the medium you should have to pay to enjoy it sometimes, especially in a large group were you could each kick in a small amount to buy a large deal of anime... but you're going with 'unlicensed' anime because you're afraid you'll be hunted down for publicly screening something for private use then forget I said anything.)

Fuck that. Anime didn't get to where it is in the U.S. today because anime fans sat patiently and lapped up whatever Streamline pictures decided to offer them.
More people in the American side of the anime industry need to stop relying on charging a desperate, niche audience exhorborant prices for anime DVDs; and instead, start getting more anime on TV, and making their money through sponsors like CN does.
Yes, instead they went and watched Artic fansubs...Which were to fansubs what Streamline was for dubs (And don't try and deny it, I've seen the first generation KOR and Maison fansubs, and they are horribly awful).
And without Animeigo, CPM, and Pioneer the anime market wouldn't be what it is today.
They built a solid (niche) market for uncut and subbed tapes, and without that there we'd have have only badly edited TV dubs on TV. Sure, fansub fans would still be there demanding uncut anime but without a retail force to back it up companies wouldn't listen...
And $29.95 is not an expensive price for an anime DVD, hell it's cheaper than the Japanese discs for the most part. And while TV is proving to be a good source for a lot of anime, there is a lot stuff that is still to niche for US TV that would get passed over if it wasn't for the DVD crowd...
