Spring is here and Yuricon is celebrating with a festive bouquet of Sweet Blue Flowers! Thanks to Nozomi/RightStuf Yuricon has 3 complete DVD sets of the Sweet Blue Flowers anime -plus extras! – to give away.
They’ve asked all the easy questions, so this one requires you to put on your thinking cap (and may require a little research!. If you were the licensing person at Nozomi/Right Stuff and you had one pick – something that could appeal to the Yuri audience, but maybe also people outside Yuri, which anime would you pick – and why?
The series you choose has to be something that is not already licensed (this is where a little research comes in. Make sure you don’t suggest something that’s already licensed.) And please don’t suggest Sailor Moon. They know we want it, but it isn’t happening.
Here’s an example of an entry:Β Card Captor Sakura. It’s shoujo, it’s CLAMP, it’s “bring back your anime childhood” and it’s the second-best choice to Sailor Moon.

I have a question. When you said “something that is not already licensed” do you mean a North America release or an English language release in general, be in it the US, UK, or Australia? I am assuming, of course, that license in other languages doesn’t count in this case.
Good question, North American license, since TRSI is a NA company and JP companies still think region-codes work.
Do you also include series that were licensed for streaming (like on Crunchyroll) or do you just mean series that were licensed for DVD release?
As long as they weren’t licensed for physical DVD/BD release. ^_^
This is a great contest idea.
Thanks! We think so too. ^_^
OH MY GOD!!! I had no idea Sweet Blue Flowers had been licensed. I think the contest is a great idea as well. Since it’s one of my favourite anime and I consider it must own, I’m going to Right Stuf right now and order it.
Thank You for bringing it to my attention.
You are very welcome.
Cool, I’m in for this. I have a very good suggestion worth considering, and hope it will be read and noticed.
When I found out Sweet blue flowers was published I jumped out of my chair! Being a student also makes it difficult to be an otaku. If I could, I would love it if Gurenki was licensed! Only a manga but could become very popular as a anime. .
I am 20 years of age, my Country is USA.
