It amazes me how people seem to hold a grudge over shows they didn't like. Why care about it so much? Trust me, there's a market for them.

ABOUT FUCKING TIME. I might even buy this.

Michiko to Hatchin Awesome along with Jormungand.

I heard NISA hinted that nichijou and penguindrum were already licensed, but haven't been announced yet.

I hope that is true. I would love to have Penguindrum.

i agree best anime ever in my opinion
but happy its getting dubbed
of course thats the only one im happy about

i don't get the feeling form all of them maybe form jormundan only

Complaining losers here too, is that right?

I'm just fucking glad Michiko & Hatchin FIINALLY got licensed!

the only ones that interest me are jormungand, appleseed Xlll, and possibly michiko and hatchin (even though i've never watched it, it's premise does captive me).



my nightmare come true.

also, i'm rather surprised that ikki tousen great guardians and xtreme xecutor got licensed by funi, i thought media blasters already got the requirements for those two.

I'll probably watch Hagure Yuusha no Estetica and appleseed Xll.l

I'll watch Blood C just to see why everyone hates it.

I heard it's because it's not Blood+... They hate on it because it's an alternate o.O.

If that's actually why people hates it,then that is a complete BS (by BS,I mean below standard) reason to hate on a show.

Please let this be true I miss the penguins and my Shouma/Ringo scenes.

Probably won't have the money to buy the limited editions in time though *cries*

they know how to lincense bad / middle of the road anime[ but not top class anime[ minus one piece] and they wonder why thay dont sell well

No, they hate it because the story (whatever story there is, it doesn't start until around episode 6 or something) is a total mess, Saya lets more people die than are actually saved thus making her a terrible heroine, and the show itself is EXCEPTIONALLY boring.

Then in the last few episodes it throws a hilarious amount of gore at the viewers to try to make up for the lack of...anything actually happening...in the first few episodes.

This guy gets it.

Wow...Funi's really late on some of these titles. I know that for most, if not all, of these series, many fansubbers have already did and put them up for download a long time ago (heck Final8 just finished Michiko to Hatchin days ago). It sorta seems like a waste of time to even pay Funi any attention at this rate...

As far as I can see, Funi needs to stop waiting years to license and dub anime. By that time, most of their targeted market would've downloaded the series or either watched it on some online streaming site, thus making buying DVDs from Funi all but useless. This one of the biggest contributing factors in why Funi loses so much money.

If you were to never buy it in the first place, then you probably wouldn't have bought it ever. Besides, why does something need to be watched the moment it's released? And it's not like Japan immediately puts their stuff of DVD/BD. It's like saying that the Japanese are stupid for buying stuff when they've already watched it on TV, online, or have already downloaded it.

Really the only thing I am excited to see on here.

EDIT: Sorry, I was being a complete idiot. Ignore my post please.

I know that Japan usually takes a year, year-and-a-half to put their titles onto DVD and BD. The point I was trying to make was that Funi has taken too long to dub some of these titles. Let's take the two Ikkitousen series. GG was already finished by 2008 and XX by 2010 and fansub groups have already done these titles and put them onto the Internet for for free for several years or so. Thus, I don't expect Funi to make much money from those (Hidan No Aria, Blood-C, and Michiko to Hatchin can be included in that group as well at varying degrees).

As far as I can see, taking too long to license a series is a good way to set yourself up for failure. Being timely is essential if you're trying to grab and hold on to a certain piece of the market.
