No I am not offering an insane trade of somesort, but merely a suggestion.

I went to bestbuy yesterday and while browsing through their anime section I came upon Twelve Kingdoms Vol.1 and 2 each costing 20 bucks each. Now I thought to myself "20 dollars holy crap I have 20 dollars and each is 125 minutes too, a bargain". So I bought both volumes knowing really nothing about the series and I am currently watching them, and the DVDs are not by ADV but are by Anime Works. Sofar I really think that this would fit with action VERY well, it is not mindscrew or cryptic but rather along the lines of Escaflowne-esque story and the story is quite solid and it's well paced and not as slow as some other shows, just minus the mecha and replace it with bad ass evil scary looking creatues that fight bloody war. Speaking of blood there is quite alot in it, and schoolgirls who partake in swordfights too.

Animation is very well done so it won't have the "dated" problem

It's really up to Media Blasters whether they want to sell anything to CN again or not, but it doesn't seem like they're very interested in pursuing television licensing anymore.

Media Blasters gave up on TV deals the second they licensed Eiken.

Well I'll be. You just reminded me about something I forgot to pick up. Got suggested this, but once I came to the store I couldn't remember what it was exactly so I just wasted all my money on Pocky.....:(

Eh, 12 Kingdoms will certainly be a new style of anime that AS isn't exactly accustomed too.
I wouldn't mind seeing it aired....nice to have something in place of Inuyasha weeknights...
