2010 Roll-out Riot: Day 5 of 5 – Axis Powers Hetalia & The Sacred Blacksmith
Well, it’s the final day of our 2010 Roll-out Riot. I hope everyone has enjoyed the roller coaster of announcements this week. Whether you love it or hate it, we’re thankful that you’ve spent your valuable time with us.
Remember, just because these are the last shows for the Roll-out Riot doesn’t mean they are the last acquisitions of the year. I mean, it’s only the first week of 2010. Be sure to keep checking back right here on the blog for more news.
And now I bring you… (and yes, they both will be dubbed and subbed. And note we licensed 52 episodes of Hetalia - meaning seasons 1 & 2.)
