Too bad Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? is pretty meh. Come on FUNi, we need some better licenses here. I want to see some Nichijou here. If you take anime seriously, you're autistic. |

But FMA is still not a bad thing Ultimately, there is a freedom to take the consequences (Terry Pratchett)      |

Wait, so they licensed Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?, but nobody licensed Madoka yet? That's nice and all, but seriously Funimation, you should get on that, like, right now, before Sentai Filmworks and all their mediocre dubbing beat you to it. Anyways, a new FMA: B movie sounds good, although I haven't finished watching the series, since I'm currently waiting for more dub episodes (I refuse to watch it subbed.)  |

I seem to vaguely recall reading somewhere a Madoka dub is very unlikely. |

oh, I'm glad they licensed the FMA:B movie, I only like watching FMA dubbed :3 I'm happy about Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka? too, I didn't know people hated it, I assumed everyone loved it, since it's full of fanservice and violence xD; |

It could be worse, they could be licensing Rio: Rainbow Gate or Dragon Crisis.  |

That the new Fullmetal Alchemist movie would get licensed was to be expected. However, not that I think it's a bad show, but Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? getting licensed surprised me a bit.  |

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? was one of my favorites from the winter season so I'm glad to see it licensed. I'm hoping for Level E and Madoka to eventually get licensed as well. Looking at posts on the Internet wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't also mix up he and she. |
