Well, as for the anime itself, I'd love to see it be Animeigo's next full
series release. To the best of my knowledge Animeigo is the only company
willing to release any series that is over 26 episodes or so. They have
done so with UY (although I don't know the episode count on that), KOR (48
eps) and recently announced Macross (36 eps...I think). Although they are
now one of the smaler US distribitors out there Animeigo seems to be the
only one willing to release a long series right now. As for LOGH dubs, I
have no idea since I generally avoid dubs if a subtitle is avaliable.
Also, I don't know enough about the book industry to put forth any
suggestions as to what company would be most receptive to publishing the
novels. Does anyone know of a publisher that has already published
translations of any other Japanese series of novels. I'm interested to
hear what everyone has to say.
