C³, Makin-Ki, Shakugan No Shana, Guilty Crown & Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai..
Awesome these got licenced and normally will get a dvd/BD release. And if all of these get dubbed it will over-the-top awesome. :P

Now I hope we don't have to wait too long on Shakugan No Shana Second.. (Anybody who thinks logical knows if they release the third season/series they just will release the second too.. It would be as stupid as watching only the first and last season of Avatar The Last Airbender.. The second is just as important as the other seasons to knowledge the full story)

Next stop: Funimation: Please licence The Familliar of Zero season 2, 3 & 4. And release all on BD. :)

They dropped The Familiar of Zero they won't be licensing or dubbing any of the other seasons. Same goes for Higurashi too due to poor sales.

So instead of the both of them paying for licenses, they can share series and only pay once.... sounds like a win-win since they can save half the money or license more series. The only people losing out are the studios, since it cuts into their revenue.

Great, I'm in the UK so I can't watch Last Exile: Ginyoku no Fam on the stream, and no fansubbers are bothering with it because it's both licensed and not likely to be that popular.

I've been waiting for this series since I heard the announcement...

true but doesn't change the fact that whining that you don't get to watch anime for free on an internet forum and shit like that is utterly pathetic in every way (which is still somewhat more justified than complaining about this). I mean, I don't watch every anime I've ever seen in the most legal way all the time, but I'm not complete whiny loser if I can't anymore (which you can if you actually know how to Google, so it's a non-issue anyway)

honestly, I'm amazed the lengths they've gone to listen to fans and actually live in the 21st century.

So, uhh, did this fall through already? All the titles, except for Guilty Crown, have been delayed.

After reading the thread start to finish, I'm a little confused. is the issue some have with streaming that is 'free'? Streaming that maybe isn't totally on the up and up? Or Streaming in general, even if its through a legitimate licensed business like say Netflix just for example?

I know I couldn't have watched as much anime as I have without my Netflix subscription. I've even contemplated paying more just so I can have multiple streams into my house at the same time.

Be thankful for those you have near who are dear
For time is not always kind to those who would be on your mind
Seize the day, some exclaim, but that which is past, no more shall have its day.

Oh, sweet. We can probably expect DVD and BD releases of these great titles from FUNi in 2014 or 2015.
