Mario1-7 said: Your opinion. Looking at it from a less personal perspective and judging by what series have become big hits (DBZ, anyone?) I'd think an anime like Soul Eater, with a big focus on flashy fights, would be accepted quite well.>_> Soul Eater Sucks |
|
| i'm sure Soul Eater suited for US market, but not quite sure about Reborn. |
 |
Mario1-7 said: >_> Soul Eater Sucks Soul Eater is good fun that has a wide variety of diverse characters. Which is why I think it's such an enjoyable series. Plus, even though there is way too much talking at times, the fights are real gems. Anywho, Slayers Revolution was licensed. Not as good as the previous seasons, but still enjoyable. |

Gunbladewarrior said: Gintama, unless they can accurately translate about 60% of the references for americans to understand, wont hit mainstream. I would think Soul Eather has a better chance of being mainstream than Reborn, but Reborn does have the popularity here in america because of the manga (if anyone even buys licensed manga anymore)tainteddonut said: Gunbladewarrior said: Oh well.

| wow, apparently, FUNimation licensed both of the latest seasons of the Slayers series (Revolution and Evolution-R). can the OP or a news mod edit the first post and add Evolution-R? |

I guess you're right. Those who have watched this far in the series wouldn't confuse that Revolution is a 13 episode series, not the entire intended 26 episodes. =/ |

Maora said: It's true, due to the markets being pretty different overall. That said, Funimation will make a lot of shonen fans even madder than they are now if they don't go through and license Soul Eater.

| it wasn't evangelion. It was gungrave. |
|
| Something else already released by Geneon? Excuse me as I am less than enthused. |
| i dont get it... i could have sworn last exile and ikkitousen was already licensed? Or were they licensed by Gonzo and dropped? |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| How many more days are left out of this 10 day marathon? |
Baby_Naruto said: How many more days are left out of this 10 day marathon? one more day. I knew it might leave it to Soul Eater. >.> |
|
| lol Gungrave. I'd like to watch that, but I heard it wasn't that good near the end so I have no interest in buying it. What will the last series be I wonder... |
 |
| The 8 hints Funi gave us: Guesses for the 8 hints: Throughout the way, 2 of the hints actually had 2 secrets in it, just to make it 10. The licensed anime so far What do YOU think will be the last one? |
|
| T_T hmm even though this has been released I never heard of it. I might haf to pick this one up... But still T_T Tomorrow we will be soiled by soul eater >_> |

kage-bunshin said: well in another 23 hours or so, we'll find out #9 Don't you mean #10? |
| Gungrave is awesome. I'd be all over that if I didn't own it already. So far 3/9 announcements I already own and the rest I have no immediate interest in picking up. Pretty bad odds so far. EDIT: The press release makes it sound like they don't even own the license at all. FUNimation Entertainment to distribute Geneon Entertainment's Gungrave How are they going to claim 10 licenses when one is just really an extension of their distribution agreement with Geneon? |

Ranivus said: i dont get it... i could have sworn last exile and ikkitousen was already licensed? Or were they licensed by Gonzo and dropped? Last Exile and Ikkitousen -- as well as Gad Guard, Vandread, and Gankutsuou -- were previously licensed and released by Geneon USA, which is no longer releasing DVDs. |
| Gungrave.-_- |
 |
| I managed to get all of Gungrave before Geneon went bust, good to hear though. |
