I was really hoping for Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei but it doesn't sound like that's it.

If it's Toradora I'm going to be very happy though.

Why do I somehow think the hint is in the bizarre grammar structure of the sentences? Either that, or English is not the first language for whomever wrote this.

"Some very educated guesses I’m seeing."
->I'm seeing some very educated guesses.

"Even a few of you have hit it right on the nose but which ones?"
->A few of you have even hit it right on the nose, but which ones

"Think we’ve found out that you guys are too clever for hints."
->I think we've found out that you guys are too clever for hints.

"Or do you like trying to figure them out? No, I think we’ll just wait…"
...okay, that's actually fine.

"I'm seeing a few of you..." Urgh, I can't figure it out.

ADDED:
Things I wish would be licensed: Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Kaiba, Mononoke, and Nodame Cantabile. Oh, and if they licensed the new FMA and streamed it as it aired, I'd be blissful. I doubt it's any of those, though...

I was thinking the same thing with Yakitake Japan, but I would rather see Toradora myself...

Since Viz passed up on Yakitake, i'd see only Funi grabbing it.

I know what it is! :-p

But I can't tell you....

Maybe someone got it right.... or maybe none of you guessed right yet.

Man, I have no clue what this could be. I hope it's Yakitate! Though I don't know why...I agree the odd language has something to do with it, but I can't think of any anime where someone's spoken in a particularly strange manner recently.

"Blogging makes me hungry - nom nom nom nom nom…"

I read through a few of their blog posts and it is all very vague. If have to, my blind guess at their new license would be Yakitate!! Japan since it is the most recent anime about food to my knowledge. I am reading the manga and it is a fun read. Let's see what it is when they officially announce it.

People are slowly starting to catch on that the bizarre sentence structure is a key, but somehow haven't drawn the line between A and B yet. Really, the answer is spelled out in the post. Literally

Some very educated guesses I’m seeing. Even a few of you have hit it right on the nose but which ones? Think we’ve found out that you guys are too clever for hints. Or do you like trying to figure them out?

No, I think we’ll just wait…

Have a nice afternoon ya’ll. Or maybe evening?

Or:

Seto No Hanayome

EDIT: Of course, I don't work for Funimation, but this is the conclusion I got from going in to this without trying to see my personal "SOMEONE PLEASE LICENSE THIS" series in the post.
