I wanted to give The Troubled Life of Miss Kotoura a try a long time ago when I leanr of the premise, and am still interested. I do not entirely know what it means for the license to be active so maybe it could lead to something in the future.

Being "active" just means NISA is still keeping the rights to those two titles in North America at least for now, even if they aren't going to put them out on disc anymore. So depending on how the license is structured they could still potentially make money from those titles in other areas, like streaming revenue.

The Pilot's Love Song was something I was vaguely interested in, but I have no interest at all in one of NISA's huge-ass premium boxes for it, since I frankly don't have the room. If they'd just put out a normal set, I might have blind-bought it. That's the case for a few of their other titles too, unfortunately.

@Top Gun

NISA gave up on those long premium boxes about half way through their run of releases. Later premium sets, including The Pilot's Love Song, are about the size of Funimations Limited edition boxes. That is about the size of three standard DVD cases side by side. You could, if space is that limited, dump the box and the book and just keep the two standard DVD cases the BD disks come in.

By the way, at this time the title is still available from Right Stuf!.

NISA did a great job with their releases (at least all the ones I picked up, probably 1/3 to 1/2 of the releases if I had to guess) and had good customer service with the few issues when they were starting out. I was really disappointed when they stopped putting out titles

I see. Thanks! From searching online I see the anime is available on cruncyroll so I have a chance to check out to see if I like it enough at some point.
