To make this quick: Bandai has another counter up on the splash page, this one counting down to…6pm PST on May 31st, it looks like. Perhaps their panel at A-kon? The source code hints are the same as the ones mentioned here.

Right Stuf/Nozomi Entertainment is at it again: their countdown will end at 2CDT on May 1st, and a new license will be announced. Last time it was Maria-sama ga Miteru, and the visuals were the same, so I wouldn’t speculate based on that. Fortunately, Right Stuf has offered some hints on their forums:

- This one’s getting closer, (hopefully last) round of drafts exchanged.
- The Dark Lord’s Binge continues with this one, which is looking good.
- And if this last thing goes through, everyone will cheer. Hopefully my hard work will pay off.

So, so vague. Anyone? Bueller?
