Sengoku Basara: The Last Party will be released on home video in late 2012.

Cool, I'd definitely pick up Level E if it got a Bluray release.

While I'm both surprised and excited to see Funi license Level E, do they still have any plans to license shows based on the results of their poll? I'd really like my own copy of Tatami Galaxy or Penguindrum.

Same I really want Mawaru Penguindrum. Oh well if they don't get it we always have Sentai or NIS. =D

I'd rather have it dubbed though or if NIS gets if maybe they can explain some of the symbolism in their hardback books?

Well I guess Level E is leaving Crunchyroll soon since Funi will be streaming it better watch it now since Funi's player is shit.

PUT YA GUNS ON!

Well wouldn't it be more convenient for them to license stuff that will be profit to them....

But then again just because a series does well on their polls doesn't mean it will bring in some $$

Then why even have a survey/poll to begin with if they are not going to give us what we want in the end?

So bloody excited for Level E. I've been hoping for a DVD release since CR started airing it and now my dreams are coming true. Prince Baka~ ♥

Home Video Rights confirmed for Level E

“FUNimation Entertainment announced today at Katsucon that it has acquired the broadcast, home entertainment, and streaming rights to the complete anime series, Level E. The series was created by Yoshihiro Togashi, best known for writing and illustrating the Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter × Hunter series. Studio Pierrot and David Production co-produced the project directed by Toshiyuki Kato.”

home entertainment = DVD/BD

Amazing. Now I can be trolled in English.

Take my money.

LEVEL EEEEEEEE. Fuck yeah. I might actually buy anime oh my. All of my moneyyyy.

You (I) just know Sentai is gonna license something else next week that will eclipse this announcement.

Or NIS will. I really hope for some Gundam or Penguindrum.

I really hope Gundam can still be licensed in the states. Cause the older series are not subbed when it comes to R2 releases. I guess getting an R1 release is out of the question for AGE since they are subbing the R2 Blurays don't know about the DVD releases though if they are not maybe Sentai can nab it and release subtitled DVDs.

Yay!! I've been waiting for someone to get Level E :D

Dat Level E. I'm half scared and half super excited. I will gladly buy it if it's good.

Sentai licenses something every week. I wonder when they're going to run out money. Surely they can't keep it up forever.

Still wondering where they are getting all this money from too its scaring me cause if they get too much series at once and hardly no one buys then they just sunk their own ship. Then we will just have NIS, Rightstuf, Discotek, Media Blasters, and Funi left.

Enough reason for me to watch Level E! Togashi just knows what I like and delivers it. And Yu Yu is still my 3rd fav anime.

Gawd finally. Been waiting for Level E.

Excellent, Sengoku Basara movie was good.
