Apparently Media Blasters has “rescued” the anime series Moribito - Guardian of the Spirit (or Seirei no Moribito), which was previously held by Geneon. This is, I believe, the first confirmed Geneon license rescue - and hopefully the first of many.
Also, to little surprise, Kyoto Animation announced a CLANNAD After Story TV series which will continue the story from the CLANNAD TV series which just concluded. No word on when this series would air. Presumably after Haruhi 2, though I would think.
However, for the first license to come out of the Summer 2007 season (that I can think of) to be for Doujin Work, well, let’s just say that Doujin Work was about the last series I expected to be licensed out of that group, considering it’s length (12 14-minute episodes), it’s subject matter (doujin), and it’s quality (eh, could be better).
I had three “in Japan” series that I’ve been keeping an eye on for licensing information (Haruhi Suzumiya and I”s Pure being the other two) and, to be frank, I was expecting Kasimasi to be the last one of the three licenced.
