Questions on some Hentai titles...

[LinaLoN]

My friend watched the hentai version of Papillion Rose online in raw japanese years ago and she was excited when she heard it was liscenced but she nor I have seen it anywhere even mention. Can somebody explain what happened there so I can let her know?

Also, is there any word on if Pia Carrot and Koihime will eventually get liscened? Thanks!

I have never heard it being licensed. It was a fan made concept, and only one episode was released on the internet. I don't know if the TV series was ever actually aired. Pia Carrot was licensed by NuTech who I think went out of business owing a bunch of money to the Japanese licensor or something. Koihime and Pia Carrot are both Pink Pineapple productions, and I believe they are still not licensing right now. Let me dig up the pink pineapple thread to be sure
*edit*
last update was in June of last year. Pink Pineapple is not taking any offers for new titles, but may license existing titles

Papillon Rose (http://fast.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6010) apparent did air, and I've seen the DVDs for sale on a Japanese on-line retailer.

Pia Carrot was licensed by NuTech who I think went out of business owing a bunch of money to the Japanese licensor or something.
NuTech Digital also licensed and released the first Koihime series.
