Okay wow is it just me, or have we not seen so many pre-air licenses for one season in a long time? This baffles me.

Guilty Crown = Win, cant wait for the simulcast. It was be great because supercell's ryo is doing the music, the plot looks interesting and the PV looked awesome.

.hack = ....no

Grabe the anime but not the source
"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine"

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
For the Union makes us strong

Because the "source" is still licensed by Bandai Entertainment.

Well, at least Funimation finally announced something... I couldn't give a shit about anything .hack related, and Guilty Crown's synopsis leaves much to be desired, so... *yawn*

Could have expected they'd get their hands on Guilty Crown. The show looks like it'll be the best of the season.

Wow, I remember seeing ./hack on television like over 7 years ago lol. Wasn't very interesting in my opinion though.
On the otherhand, I can't wait for Guilty Crown.

go watch .hack//Quantum. I guarantee you that it's completely different.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

I was thinking it would be something up Bandai's alley, but I'm happy to see Funi getting it cause that means its going to be dubbed regardless so I can rest easy now. xD

high production values + Noitamina = win?
(takes a look at PVs, reviews, and No.6)
no ... just a fine watch

Im glad Funimation got this and NOT sentai, because Sentai has been licensing so many shows just for subbed only. which I can't stand x_x. I'm extremely happy they at least gave a excellent dub for Angel Beats! though.

I never got to see much of the .hack series when it was on TV, is that a prerequisite to watching .hack/Quantum? I'll admit I saw it on Funimation's site the other day, and it looked interesting.

But isn't Bandai, the sole licensor for all of the .hack animes?


They finally gave up on it cause the last one they released was subbed only. I fear that they are the next company to fall what with their store closing at the end of this year and all.

Mmm? I hope not. Bandai is one of the good companies that gives excellent dubs for anime if I am not mistaken. BTW, I am glad for this licensing. At least I will not be reading subs as it tends to take my focus away from the scene.

I do not know. Only a handful of good licensors are left which is sad cause these guys are dubbing animes with excellence and Funimation and Bandai are amongst them.
