Topic: Mega Man Star Force Anime in the Works

It's likely to come to the U.S. now that a top anime licensor has picked up the series.

 Word is coming from VIZ Media, one of the biggest anime/manga licensors in America, has picked up the rights to the 13-episode run of the anime series based on the new Mega Man Star Force video game.  A stateside release of the show is all but assured, though there was no mention as to how episodes would be distributed.  Is the series coming to a TV station near you, or will it be direct-to-DVD?    We don't know, but as soon as we do, we'll let you know.    

In related news, VIZ has also acquired the U.S. rights to the first season of Bleach, an anime series that has spawned no less than four Nintendo games.  With the impending release of that show to American shores, will English versions of those games be soon to follow?  It happened with Naruto, albeit three years after the fact.

must be one of the first ever licenced anime's by viz that were never subbed

Bleach already airs on [adult swim]. This article seems to imply that it doesn't.

Megaman Star Force was picked up by Viz back in Dec. of 06.  This is old news.  
Oh, and Viz releases a lot of dub only anime: Pokemon, MegaMan Battle Network, Zatch Bell, One Piece (though that is now owned by Funimation and they will be redubbing it and giving it an uncut bilingual dvd release).
