      Hm, there aren't that many titles that don't need changed for an English audience. Gamers and Cop Craft seem like good guesses.

      Wonder how the Marginal Operation manga has been doing for JNC. If it's been okay then the original LN might be an easy target.

      Mayyyybe Heavy Object? That's not licensed yet right? I don't care for it but a Kazuma Kamachi title might be seen as a feather in the cap for JNC.

      Edit: Wait a minute Slayers doesn't require a new title

          last time I checked Heavy Object still is unlicensed (It's still up on BT and they are very conscientious about taking down fan translations when licensed in English)

          I liked the Anime, the books a little less so- but that might be more about the fan translation vs. the source works. (and it was also years ago...)

          I read banned books

                    @nosgoroth Sorry it's not really linked to the discussion, but what does "briar patch" mean in that situation ?

                    Do you like death, war and misery ?
                    Do you like badass op loli who let nobody got in their way ?
                    Do you like vengeance story?
                    If so then then vote for The girl who ate a death god

                      @raitoiro It references an old story in which a rabbit begs a fox not to throw him into a briar patch. The fox then does exactly that, without realizing that that was exactly what the rabbit wanted, because as he was familiar with the briar patch he would be able to escape that way.

                      Perhaps Caramel was trying to use reverse psychology on Sam to get him to license Gamers?

                              @crey Yes, never heard of him before, well aside from a list of forbidden cartoons (because of "Song of the South").

                                @caramelwithoutthesalt Where I watched the anime and was in tears from laughing so hard. Tastes will vary.

                                          @raitoiro It references an old story

                                          A very, very old story. One that Disney wishes people forget they tried to adapt (of course, like most DIsney animations, it is taken from something even earlier). It was a very hard movie to get a copy of.
