Hmm. So many shows picked by Funimation haven't received license points. I know most of them have only been simulcasted and no DVD/BD release were announced, but unlike Crunchyroll simulcast, Funi simulcast pretty much means they have a license for those shows. Animesuki list them as licensed as well. Any clarification on that?
We only found the announcement for the simulcasts of these shows and nothing about a home video release. If this hasn't been announced we can't really give these shows points (I also said here DVD/Blu-ray license). Or does anyone have other information?
MAL's "licensing company" category doesn't specify between DVD/Blu-Ray and simulcast. Some of the older anime that are in the FUNimation Entertainment category still don't have DVDs/Blu-Rays. So if there isn't an announcement that says something about a home video release, we can't count the points. We will make sure that we define our license rules better next time.
