It was only a matter of time for Gintama, though I would have thought Viz would have snagged that one. Good to see another Geneon title back on the market.
Viz would snag that one, if they could get some good merchandising off it.
COSSETTE is such an incredible little OVA, and a personal favorite of mine. Great voice-over work by Bosch too.
I think this says a lot about the current state of Bandai Visual Japan’s management, when Sunrise would rather let another American company buy out one of its properties than distribute it within the family.
