| Man leave it to funimation to stop my downloading while at work.....they already busted me once.... |
| man funimation are on a roll! i haven't seen either shows but i a interested in baka test, looks promising plus isn't it odd that these shows have been licensed and they both are still airing? |

| They did the same with a few others, like Phantom and Soul Eater. |
| Oh, well. I'm just going to put them on hold until some DVD rips come out for us Brits to watch. Durarara and Hanmaru Youchien are the only anime I really care about this season anyway, so I'm not too bothered by that. |

| They went with such a literal translation, Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts... Funimation translations are good (often too literal at times), but I hate their horrible block style white font... Though I've never seen any of their media other than streams. I was considering buying Higurashi, but I don't know... Does anyone know if their DVD/BD releases are any better than this: |

| This is awesome! I love them both! Now I can legally watch them yayz! |
| I hate Funimation... |
| ugh..this could be a pain but as long as subbers continue i won't have a problem (Baka Test is my favorite this season so far and i watch Dance in the Vampire Bund) but kinda cool news as long dvd's eventually come out unlike Shikabane Hime and Phantom still ><. |
 |
| Ehem, I'd better hurry up and grab those torrents. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |

| they both look promising,they're actually good choices! the only download is now i'll have trouble downloading them |
 |
| Leave it to Funi to acquire something that isn't even finished its run in Japan..and FMA doesn't count. You know they're going after Durarara really soon considering its popularity. I can already see Kimi ni Todoke and Letter Bee on their list as well. And hell, while they're at the fail of getting Vampire Bund, why not take Ladies vs Butlers as well? |

Well on a side note funi did say in a podcast that they will be releasing Shikabane hime on DVD this summer. Bathos said: So...no mention of a DVD release? None at all? I'm torn on if I want to drop these in light of this news. I'm not into the idea of watching web-streamed anime. In a possible future update of a stateside DVD release of these shows I may consider just putting them on hold. Ugh. This season has been a real drag. Well when they say they acquired the digital, broadcast, home video rights to both series, I would like to say that there will be a DVD release. As to when though... |

Does it not count or do you just not want it to count cause they've done this before KayChan4U said: You know they're going after Durarara really soon considering its popularity I doubt it. They said that they don't usually go after shows on Crunchyroll. At least not until after it's finished. Though I can bet they are totally licensing it later. BTW, wrong SHAFT FUNi. It was supposed to be Bakemonogatari. |

| well i don't really care |
| I'm not quite sure what to think of this. I mean Baka to Test is great but I think it might get butchered in English but we'll see how this goes. I doubt Bund is going to sell very well anyway xD. |
| Hmm, can't say this news affects me one way or another. I haven't followed Dance in the Vampire Bund since the 2nd episode and never bothered with Baka to Test. |
 |
| Cool. I've been thinking of watching Baka Test, and this will make it slightly more convenient. |
 |
| I HATE FUNimation !! dammit why can't they just GO AWAY ! CEASE TO EXIST ! |
Please Click My Kawaii Dragons!!  |
| Lol, why would they translate Baka to Test like that? |
 |
| I'm glad they got Baka to Test. I haven't seen Dance in the Vampire Bund yet though... |

Its an awful name though. That can't even be called a literal translation as its only half of one. If you're going to translate the name, you should translate the whole thing. As it is, that title just sounds really awkward :| |
| Lol Dance in the Vampire bund?? Really?? garfield15 said: kitsunekoz said: I HATE FUNimation !! dammit why can't they just GO AWAY ! CEASE TO EXIST ! 1.

Because some people like having physical legal copies of anime/knowing that in a small way they're helping the industry. I would be fine as long they don't hunt the subbers, cause for some of us the only way to get anime is trough fansubs, not everyone lives in the USA/UK -_- And international sales barely pump any profit to the japan's industry, you seen the Production IG chart? International sales were an extremely small percentage and Production IG is one of the companies who focuses more on the international market. |

I can't argue with the first part The second part though, so are you saying they should do nothing? At least a little bit isn't nothing. |

| I'm definitely not amused. It's pretty obvious that 'Baka and Test -SUMMONED the BEASTs' will be ruined by funnymation. I should get vampire bund before getting blocked. |
| Wonder if they'll censor a certain scene in vampire bund :>. |

Still with this Vampire Bund though...I can't believe even Funi's gotten on the Vampire Bandwagon. >____< |
| FUNimation really does suck. It's a shame they are scooping up all of these good shows. |
 |
| I don't mind that they scoop of the good shows, I mind that they send C&D's to EVERY GROUP. They stopped everyone subbing Soul Eater, and then didn't come out with the DVDs themselves for like a year. |
