According their official twitter, FUNimation has licensed the TV anime series Shiki. The 22 episode series aired on the noitaminA broadcast block last year from July to December. FUNimation will be releasing the series on Blu-ray and DVD in the spring of 2012. Update FUNimation has announced on their official blog that they have acquired the broadcast, digital, and home entertainment rights for Shiki. Their blog specifies 24 episodes however, which implies they are also going to release the two unaired episodes that are going to be released on the eighth and ninth Blu-ray Disc/DVD volumes, though this has not been confirmed.

Too bad the ending to it was awful. It could have been the best show of 2010.  |

I thought they already licensed it since they simulcasted it on their website?? I only watched the first episode I need to go back and finish watching it. "What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character thats for sure!" |

Simulcast doesn't mean licensed?      |

Meh, I'd prefer they get Madoka Majika before Sentai does but that's just me. Still glad to see Shiki get licensed. |

This is good news for me, I'll eventually get around to watching it, and if I like it I'll definitely buy it. |

You wanna know bout lame SK endings, read the Tommyknockers. (and this from a stout fan) On topic though, hells yes Shiki. Now I can buy one of my favorite animes.  |
