| Anime Limited add Anonymous Noise http://blog.alltheanime.com/anime-limited-licenses-the-series-anonymous-noise/ Also, I probably should have said so a while ago, but those Viz Media licenses are manga licenses rather than anime ones |
Yaoi-Senpai said: Funimation often decided later how many shows they would license for home video, based on streaming numbers. They only need to announce their simuldubs early now as Crunchyroll streams the subbed versions. Depending on the contract, home video licensing may be announced right away or closer to when it comes out.Funimation will license only 3 shows for spring? Why? Or will they announce later? |
