Kadokawa USA Announces Six New Anime

Rental Magica, Spice and Wolf, Junjou Romantica, more confirmed for U.S. release; no distributor named yet





At their panel, the industry representatives from Kadokawa USA announced that their company now holds the North American licenses to the anime series Junjou Romantica, Spice and Wolf, Rental Magica, My Heartfelt Sympathy, Ninomiya-kun, H2O ~Footprints in the Sand~, and Coo ~ Our Guardian. Last month, Kadokawa USA requested that the AnimeSuki.com website remove links to the illegal fansubs of five of these series, along with six others.

Generally, Kadokawa USA does not actually distribute anime in North America directly, but partners with other, more established companies. No specific distributor for any of the six series has been named yet.
