I always figured that licensing was inevitable. I thought it was only a matter of "when not if".
Hmm.. very good points. Pretty much the same reasons I watched, except for that last one... It's probably enough to get people to buy the first dvd. It's selling the second one that going to be difficult.

True, but that was among Japanese fans. It was considerably less popular among the fansub community. While the "what's popular in Japan will be outside of Japan" theory usually holds true, there are some big exceptions. The fansub community is probably a better indicator of how a show will do in the US, as it is comprised of primarily non-japanese fans. UFO princess valkyrie never really did that well in fansubs, so it probably won't do that well commercially. Now as I said in my previous post, I'm not an expert, so I could be wrong, but I really don't expect adv to make any money at all on this show.
