Miscellaneous FUNimation Title Lists
Blog Index
This will be a list for the following: Shows FUNimation has released subbed-only, shows FUNimation released DVD-only when a Blu-ray exists/came out later in Japan, S.A.V.E./Anime Classics releases that dropped a format, and shows FUNimation has yet to put into their Anime Classics or S.A.V.E. lines since they launched those. This is purely just for information purposes, it is not meant for bashing FUNimation.

*Originally licensed by ADV Films. This was the only one of the Sojitz titles that they re-released in singles. They did release the final volumes for Kanon (2006), Pumpkin Scissors, Red Garden, and Welcome to the NHK, but they didn't re-release the older volumes.
**The 2014 Anime Classics release has 4 discs, but they're not the same as the singles and prior box sets, they're the same as the 2011 Collector's Edition. The Anime Classics release dropped the extras disc (disc 5) from that release.
***Disc count changed, but series still has alternate-angles.
FUNimation used to have alternate-angles for their releases. However this hurt the video quality, and most titles have since been re-released with those stripped out to improve video quality despite being on less discs. There are some titles which did not have them to begin with.
Singles Without Alternate Angles
Claymore - Volumes 1-6
Devil May Cry - Volumes 1-3

FUNimation DVD Titles Authored by ADV Films

Pumpkin Scissors
Red Garden
Shattered Angels
The Wallflower
Welcome to the NHK
In July 2008, FUNimation acquired the license to nearly all of the titles from ADV Films' partnership with Sojitz that fell apart. Many of these titles would end up being authored by ADV Films' production arm, Amusement Park Media rather than FUNimation's usual staff. The titles listed above were authored by APM. They would end up releasing the final volumes for Devil May Cry, Kanon (2006), Pumpkin Scissors, Red Garden, and Welcome to the NHK after fan backlash due to their initial plan not to do so, but did not opt to finish Shattered Angels, The Wallflower, and Tokyo Majin through singles.

This will be a list for the following: Shows FUNimation has released subbed-only, shows FUNimation released DVD-only when a Blu-ray exists/came out later in Japan, S.A.V.E./Anime Classics releases that dropped a format, and shows FUNimation has yet to put into their Anime Classics or S.A.V.E. lines since they launched those. This is purely just for information purposes, it is not meant for bashing FUNimation.

*Originally licensed by ADV Films. This was the only one of the Sojitz titles that they re-released in singles. They did release the final volumes for Kanon (2006), Pumpkin Scissors, Red Garden, and Welcome to the NHK, but they didn't re-release the older volumes.
**The 2014 Anime Classics release has 4 discs, but they're not the same as the singles and prior box sets, they're the same as the 2011 Collector's Edition. The Anime Classics release dropped the extras disc (disc 5) from that release.
***Disc count changed, but series still has alternate-angles.
FUNimation used to have alternate-angles for their releases. However this hurt the video quality, and most titles have since been re-released with those stripped out to improve video quality despite being on less discs. There are some titles which did not have them to begin with.
Singles Without Alternate Angles
Claymore - Volumes 1-6
Devil May Cry - Volumes 1-3
Shuffle! - Volumes 1-6

FUNimation DVD Titles Authored by ADV Films

Shattered Angels
The Wallflower
Welcome to the NHK
In July 2008, FUNimation acquired the license to nearly all of the titles from ADV Films' partnership with Sojitz that fell apart. Many of these titles would end up being authored by ADV Films' production arm, Amusement Park Media rather than FUNimation's usual staff. The titles listed above were authored by APM. They would end up releasing the final volumes for Devil May Cry, Kanon (2006), Pumpkin Scissors, Red Garden, and Welcome to the NHK after fan backlash due to their initial plan not to do so, but did not opt to finish Shattered Angels, The Wallflower, and Tokyo Majin through singles.
