AND Funimation got more episodes of Fairy Tail (24 more to be specific) & One Piece (season 5:episodes 264 - 336). JeddyVII said: Space Brothers - The best anime of 2012 & possibly the best slice-of-life anime I've seen.It may have some flaws (which doesn't affect my opinion),but I have yet to see anyone hate this series. |

Terribly excited for Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari, NakaImo, and Akira. I'd be more excited about Umineko if it weren't Blu-Ray only :| BEATRICE-SAMA, I HAVE FAILED YOU. |

Hyouka has seriously not been licensed yet? It's such a good series. It's better than so much of this other stuff that is being licensed. I don't accept random friend requests, but feel free to PM me if you want to talk about something i've posted or talk about some anime/manga that i've seen.  |

I am SO excited that FUNimation has decided to license Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari. I'll also be able to pick up the Strong World movie. Both of these I was really, REALLY hoping would get licensed, so I can add them to my collection. On another note, they even have Tenchi Universe as a complete DvD set for sale, which I have also been hoping to get my hands on. |
