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.

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?

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.

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.

I am a happy man. I wasn't sure if this was going to get licensed or get lost of the void of great unlicensed shows. I look forward to the DVD/Blu Ray release date.
Looking at posts on the Internet wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't also mix up he and she.

That vocal cast is pretty sick (except for Sam Riegel). May consider checking this out just because of that.

Great news. Level E was cool, looking forward to that to come out, hopefully on BD. I already picked up Sengoku Basara Seasons 1 and 2, the movie should be a nice addition as well.

Not really interested in watching a series with a historical, japanese setting in english with american accents, but whatever helps the franchise.
I probably regret this post by now.
