Well since they announced Nabari (which they sent C&Ds for) I'm pretty sure they'll get Soul Eater and Reborn as well. If not then...I'll just laugh :D

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha~

Too bad I don't really care for anything they picked :|

i never got theire hints, and isn't there one more show to go?

the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

when it's fully dub, funi only releases it how it is. they don't overdub it. unless its new (if Yoite gets Vic's voice, i'm gonna die)

So all they are going to do is re-release Samurai Champloo in a Complete Series DVD Box Set?

They're not going to re-dub any of the voices?

So Gonzo + Geneon = FUNimation...?? Or is this a love Triangle.
Geneon needs to bring over some more Anime and Dub it and just let FUNimation Release it.
and I Feel Strike Witches in the Future (Flying Loli's).
Well I got Clannad to look forward to this year.. ADV better not Fuck this up like they did Kanon. (Kanon is still the Epic).

they never do that. The Slayer voices is STILL the same as it was first released by another company, and it still going to be when they release Slayers Revolution.

anyways... There are clues that there might be more licensing today.

Wow, what a total bust this was. They pump us up only to announce a bunch of saves and only one actual new show? Funimation, if you don't have any actual interest in grabbing the shows, stop ruining our fun.

They announced that they were going to license 10 series, but that number obviously doesn't matter anymore. I'm curious if they're going to throw anymore licenses at us before this really ends.

I hope that Hitman Reborn gets licensed, it would be nice since the manga is already out in U.S.A./America.

Yeah, That certainly caught everyone off-guard. They can't even keep to their own rules. I guess they noticed their choices weren't very interesting so far. But hey, I'm happy so long as I get to see Soul Eater again... and as long as they don't completely destroy it.

The ball drop on the New Show-A-Go-Go has reset, so one might assume 8 more licenses by the end of the day with it ending on Evangelion 1.0 at midnight... so 9 more in all.

Soul Eater in 4 13-ep boxsets is pretty win, they a prelim release date of 11/17 for set 1. BONES is absurdly slow in getting materials to R1 distributors -- Ouran, Jyuohsei and DtB are good examples of this... took BONES 6 months for those 3.
