With the licensing of Xam’d and (previously) Toradora, I thought my wished-for list of anime licenses was growing pretty short.
Then I sat down to enumerate it, and I realized my list still had a ways to go (in no particular order):
- Summer Wars
- Mind Game
- Tatami Galaxy
- Kaiba
- Kemonozume
- Princess Arete
- Starship girl Yamamoto Yohko (TV)
- ef: a tale of me*o*ies
- Bakemonogatari
- Katanagatari
- Angel’s Egg
- Time of Eve (movie)
- Welcome to the Space Show
- Dennou Coil
- Gakuen Utopia Manabi straight
- Futakoi alternative
- Kara no Kyoukai
- Moyashimon
- Yokohama kaidashi kikou (manga too, please — or, I’d be happy with just the manga, actually)
- Durarara
- Minky Momo: the Bridge of Dreams
- Minky Momo: tabidachi no eki
- The rest of Yawara!
(Some of these I’ve gone so far as to get (used, primarily) on R2 DVD, and may do more as years of not-being-licensed go by.)
Also, I’ve heard good things about My Mai Miracle, but I haven’t seen it. I’d spring for inexpensive releases of Shangri-la and Angel Beats, too.
This list would keep me ecstatic for a while, certainly.
What’s on your wish-list?

And release the rest of the fucking Boogiepop novels!
Yes on the Boogiepop novels. I wouldn’t mind more issues of Faust, and maybe the Kara no kyoukai novesl, too.

I’d also catch some stuff if it came out, like Working, Saki, and Needless, but I’m certainly not biting my fingers off for them.
Lately, I have seen the top 20 anime/ova of this last decade in some websites and my list has been getting bigger and bigger.
Bakenomogatari
Ponyo
Planetes
Clannad After Story
Baccano
Gurren Lagan
Angel Beats
Monster
Mononoke
But almost all of those are licensed (in the US, at least).
Good call on Mononoke, that’s another one I should add to my list.
Yes, indeed. I’d pay good money to watch Mononoke again. Badass Medicine Seller.
/r/ on Blu-Ray.
Tatami Galaxy and maybe Mononoke.
I LOVE Tatami Galaxy.
summer wars.. the best :d
And Funimation has licensed Summer Wars!
And Bandai picked up Sorakake Girl, that’s two off my list.
Tatami Galaxy and Durarara are streaming, I hope they’ll take the next step to releasing DVDs (though perhaps I shouldn’t be so fixated on physical media, with streaming working as well as it does these days).
