Tenshi Ni Narumon Licensed

In a totally unexpected announcement, Studio Pierrot has confirmed that the 26 episode Tenshi ni Narumon (I’ll Be An Angel) TV series has been licensed for American distribution. The official announcement, though, does not state what company will be translating and distributing the series. Tenshi ni Narumon is a bizarre, pastel colored, shoujo comedy somewhat akin to an anime version of the Addams Family. Tenshi ni Narumon will be mainstream America’s first taste of true, (hopefully) unadulterated 100% shoujo (girls’) anime, the like of which has only been hinted at with Escaflowne, Utena, Fushigi Yuugi and Rayearth.
