Getting the jump on companies looking to announce new licenses at AX in a couple of weeks, John Sirabella has confirmed that Media Blasters has acquired the license to the Squid Girl anime series (Shinryaku! Ika Musume). They plan to release the first six episodes dubbed and subtitled on DVD on Sep 27th at $24.98 MSRP. John also said the release will be "loaded with extras" but did not specify what those will be.
Synopsis: Squid Girl has come to the land from the depths of the sea to conquer humanity for its pollution of the ocean. Unfortunately she ruins the first house she uses as an invasion base and has to work to pay for repairs. Of course, she can't overcome the Aizawa sisters who manage the house, so who knows whether she can subjugate humankind.

Now if they only push out their existing licenses on time... *coughMoribito2ndBDBoxcough*... ;)
Yeah, they really should have just given us a new date for the Moribito 2 BD. Something in our around July-ish I'm thinking...
I take it that Media Blasters has no intention of ever starting with half season sets with their new releases. I don't even bother with their singles releases like this, because they'll just announce a season set for it like only a couple months after the singles finish like they always do. Take Queen's Blade season 2 for instance. We already have confirmation of the BluRay set, so why bother wasting money on the singles DVD release at this point? It's hard for me to imagine people buying these singles knowing that the much cheaper season set will be on its way so quickly.
