| In their fourth license announcement for the week, Funimation has picked up the 13 episode TV series Soukou no Strain.

 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| Damn. Funimation is on an acquisition frenzy. |
| Wow, 4th license in a week. FUNimation is on a roll. |
     |
| I would be completely uninterested in this series if it wasn't loosely based on A Little Princess, but that little tidbit intrigues me. Of course, it would be better if Funi had licensed Shoukoujo Sara, but hey. |
| its nice to see more licenses but none of the shows so far were really amazing. |
 |
| As an addendum, this series will also be following the same format as the previous announcements with it being released in a 13 episode DVD set. I have the WiND subs for this one sitting on disc somewhere in my room. I know very little of the show so I'll check it out sometime in the future and see if it's really worth looking forward to next year. It's been an interesting week so far. There's still another Funimation announcement with a clue posted on their website. That one should be revealed tomorrow. There's also Anime Central this weekend which could bring in more announcements from Funi and several other licensors. |

| It's like a bomb went off, what started all this. |
     |
| Now if FUNi started releasing things they've already been holding... |

| Hm... interesting license choices but they should focus more on the unlicensed big hitters instead of taking on a bunch of mediocre ones hoping they'll all sell and the profits totals will equal to that of a big hitter. |
 |
| WHOA NICE CHOICE, FUNIMATION |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I'm looking forward to it. Keep bringing on the licenses! |
| Well THAT came out of nowhere. Dunno why they had to change the name though. . . What's wrong with just called it Soukou no Strain? Works for me. I'll have to keep an eye out for a decently priced boxset when all the discs come out. <3 |
AnimusNathan said: What the hell's with the translation. Fuckimation. Funimation didn't exactly pull the translation out of nowhere. According to the official Japanese website (click on Union or Deague on the bottom left), Strain is an acronym for STRategic Armored INfantry. |
| ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| Nothing of value lost ect ect. |
| Interesting. Wouldn't have bought it in singles, but a full series box? That's a definite. I love that Funi is doing this. |
   |
| Every time I log onto MAL Funimation has licensed another series. They are really building their catalogue up all at once. |
| Heh great. One of my favorite mecha series will get a realease by Funi. //patiently waits for dvds : |
 |
| They should just start the translation instead of licensing them -_- |

Chillyman said: Yeh as it is kinda a breach of the copyright laws and Funi can be sued for that.They should just start the translation instead of licensing them -_- Lets hope that this isn't gonna be butchered. I always hate to see good animes get ruined by horrible dubbing + voice actors. I look forward to it with skepticism. =/ |
