Why, oh why, with utter crap like this getting licensed, is it that no one has picked up Magipoka yet? It seems as if the only plausible answer is that the Japanese studio that owns the rights is asking too much money for it.

It seems that every fan has to find an unlicensed gem to mention it every time the topic is discussed. Mine is Mahoraba. But yes, it's a good question why excellent shows get bypassed. I suspect it cannot be just money, and insiders may be able to tell interesting stories. If only Avatar were truly anonymous and placed higher in the hierarchy...

They [MediaBlasters] also announced Noodle Fighter Miki that day, but I'm not sure how that fits in.

My take is positive. At least we may expect them actually release all of it, and the pricing is likely to be sensible.
