| YAY!!! Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike Meh... Fractale and Freezing I was sure Princess Jellyfish was going to be announced first, seeing as how it was one of the Noitamina anime that I watched and liked (how many does that make it now?). Oh well. I'll just have to wait until con season to hear any news about it... along with a much needed Tatami Galaxy announcement ^_- |
| FUNimation.. at least they didn't take anything great. |
 |
| /Was there when it was announced. :3 I don't really see the appeal in Fractale, but I loved the other two titles. Hoorah! |

| lol freezing. why would anyone bother |
| Ah Fractale.. |
| *FUNimation . You shouldn't be watching this ! |
 |
| I guess they got Fractale cheap and aim to sell it to the Ghibli fans that haven't heard about it yet. But what would they want with Freezing? |
| Huh. Fractale and Freezing weren't very popular. I can kind of understand why they got Fractale. It's the kind of thing that looks good and would attract people who haven't heard of it. Especially Ghibli fans. And some episodes of it weren't bad. But Freezing? Seriously? I don't hate funimation so much. I just really hate that "You should be watching." that they say in front of everything. It's so annoying! I always try to fast forward through it or turn the volume all the way down. Ugh, it's annoying. |
 |
| Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike not bad cause i wanna see it |
| Woot! Tales of Vesperia :3 |
| Hmmm...gotta watch Fractale, though why Freezing? Its rumored be bad. |
 |
| Oh boy, Freezing BDs? These are new I'm very glad to hear. Now license Qwaser too. |
| I'm happy First Strike is coming here. Maybe it's a push to help bring the PS3 game over as well. Maybe. |

| I can't wait to see their advertising campaign for Freezing after their previous hilariously awful campaign for Sekirei. |
| Ok™ |
| Tales of Vesperia seems interesting, and now that I know of it, I will most likely watch it at one point or another. As for Fractale, I enjoy the series, but I don't think it's a series that I would want to buy. I really love the author of Freezing, but I didn't enjoy the anime adaptation that much. I have no complaints, because FUNimation is at least better than some of the other companies. There are many things that could be improved, but things are decent enough that I can't really complain. |

Pretty much this. Excited to own the first strike on blu ray :D Not sure what the appeal is for fractale and freezing but whatever. |
 |
| Yay!..i guess |
| Can they license Kuragehime please! |
| Regardless of our opinions on FUNimation, what were they thinking licensing Freezing. Fractale is right up their alley and can be easily found a market but Freezing is just a huge pile of garbage. |
 |
| I look forward to the ToV anime. ^_^ |

Its rumored be bad. I wouldn't say it's bad, just decent. A lot of people are probably put off because they show some boobs during combat. I'm usually put off by ecchi anime with a lot of girls, but the story is pretty interesting imo. Lol, some boobs? |
| But not Kuragehime?? Ugh, man. |
| Cool, Funi's bringing over ToV. I hope they get all the voice actors from the game to play the parts. :) |
| Really looking forward to see how they butcher Freezing with English dubs. Good thing I DL all of the subbed versions because if they are licensing it then it will be harder to find sites to DL it from. Freezing was a good anime in my opinion but sometimes I wish they would have given the boobs a rest a bit . Nonetheless a good anime that I enjoyed watching. |
| They better get the voice actors from the game or it won't be that good |
 |
| I just hope we get ToV: first strike to europe |

Even despite this fact, they're still a great licensing company. Just too greedy. |

Personally I like how they say that, it's at least different from others. |
| meh, now i cant torrent those =( |
