And I was just pondering whether it would be interesting to hear an English dub of Madoka or not...

Frankly, I wouldn't care much so long as I would be able to get my precious DVDs~

As for Star Driver, well, Bandai had already licensed Gurren Lagann, so why not? =w=

This is good news. I'm glad Funimation didn't get it.

I just can't see it working out as a dub though. The original is so fabulous. Not to mention that there are a lot of lines that wouldn't translate well into English.

Ah well, even if they dub it, it's not like I'd be forced to watch the dub anyway.

Wow! They really know how to attract people, professionals are scary.

Yeah, and Fractale came out after Star Driver did, but had already been picked-up by FUNimation since it began its run with the Winter 2011 season. Just because something is released first doesn't mean that it will be licensed first~ =w="

Madoka is already licensed by Aniplex of America. Plus, Star Driver aired last fall and those two shows you mentioned they came out right in the beginning of this year.
