| will be buying Eden discs, o yeah. |

| Good series to buy but if you ask me the most important is the timing, not interfiering with online downloads and such, making users that liked the series willing to buy it. Good one Funi |
| I will definitely buy Higashi no Eden. (Even though I have download all the episode, still I want to buy and support it cause the anime is awesome ^^) |
| Congrats to both those titles~ |

| Casshern is too dark for most western audiences it will not sell |
 |
| Nothing about the movies? |
tehnominator said: Casshern Sins though...? Would anyone really buy that? Yep i will, it being one of the best shows i've watched in the past 5 years. & i know quite a few others who plan to buy it as well. Sure it won't sell as much as the big name titles, though there's a huge Casshern following in the US, and not only that, you have fans that are into Guyver and such. They'll eat this up. & i don't really care much for Eden. Sure it was a great show, though i wouldn't watch again. |
| Casshern Sins was really great. The ED song was nice and it overall had a decent plot and characters. The art I had to adjust to. |

| Two of the best shows of the last 5 years. Definite must buy for American fans (I don't live in North America, but if it's licenced in Europe one day...). |

Yeah i'm in Europe, though it won't stop me from owning Casshern Sins. Do hope it eventually makes it's way over here, because it's fanbase is something else. |
| W00t I really liked both series, but I haven't finished them yet -__- |
| i kinda think that Casshern Sins is to dark of a show to sell all that well, but i could be wrong lol |
| &Funi is on a role. Take that Viz. |
 |
| Eden is over-rated to the extreme (10-10-10-10-10 people must die) and Casshern is sleep inducing at times. I dropped both and don't plan on buying either. Talking of recent series, has TotA been licensed by Bandai yet? I ask because in the year 2011, I want to pick up the Anime Legends box set. |
| Hope both are Vic Mignogna-less. :) |

| Hmmm...Mixed feelings about this one. Sure, it's good they're making these two series available to the public legally, but I just can't seem to like Funimation's move. It just seems hypocritical to me. They're the ones who jump on every possible chance to try to eliminate fansubs yet they licensed shows that are virtually unknown to the West had it not been for fansubbing(Eden of the East is a good example, Casshern has a cult following in the West). Well, whatever works, I guess. I don't live in the US, anyway. |

Well, whatever works, I guess. I don't live in the US, anyway. i'm in agreement here.. casshern sins would be a complete shot in the dark if fansubbing didn't exist. i couldn't see it doing well at all unless it was already known here. funi makes me mad with this :< eden of the east was a good choice, whether fansubbing was around or not. although i wasn't a fan of it, i could see its appeal to westerners. |

| Should have picked up K-ON! Silly funi. |
<img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e297/kitsu_ayame/Untitled-6.png" /> |
| Buying Higashi DVDs. Will turn on Japanese audio. |
| These people saying that Casshern Sins would be basically in the dark if it wasn't for fansubbing seriously don't know how loved the franchise is around the world, especially in the US. Don't forget that Funi have been doing those polls down and then, and Casshern Sins was always on the list of choices. |
| Eden = Heck yeah, definitely picking up the DVDs. Casshern Sins I haven't seen, but I'm rather interested in. Funi likes putting stuff up to stream everywhere, so it should be a good chance to check it out. kuroshiroi said: Nothing about the movies? Funimation says idk. Hotstrawberry said: Should have picked up K-ON! Silly funi. It's probably expensive. |
| I'll be sure to buy the Higashi no Eden Dvd. ^_^ |

Hotstrawberry said: Should have picked up K-ON! Silly funi. It's probably expensive. I REALLY don't want to hear or imagine K-ON dubbed...Yui's voice would be painful. :/ And this is coming from someone who doesn't bash dubs, lol. Nice one Funi, for picking up Higashi. |
| Casshern??? Why aren't they pulling off the list they had in the survey they had on their blog awhile back?? Like K-On, Linebarrels, Chrome-Shelled Regios or Rosario + Vampire. Now those I would buy over Casshern. |
Hotstrawberry said: Knowing FUNi, they will probably find a way to get K-ON!Should have picked up K-ON! Silly funi. Anywho, yay for Higashi. I haven't watched it yet, but it's supposed to be really good so I'll pick it up. :] |
[ ♥ ] Me and Yuusei; we's like peas and carrots~ [ ♥ ] |
| sweet, i really like sins |
DaeScope said: Casshern is too dark for most western audiences it will not sell also they will replace the words kill with destroy that so irks me XD |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |
Namida_x said: Knowing FUNi, they will probably find a way to get K-ON!yer license it to Europe and Australia first lol |

| Getting Casshern Sins for sure. one of the best things to be produced in last 5 years hands down... |
 |
| I wished they would have licensed goku and his friends return. |
hotstrawberry said: Should have picked up K-ON! Silly funi. I hope that K-ON! doesn't get dubbed, even if it gets licensed. If it does then they might dub their songs and that doesn't always come out great. |
 |
| I'm definitley Going to buy Higashi No Eden. XD |
 |
| I get why they would buy Higashi but... Casshern? :/ not a bright move imo... |
     |
| Yeah~! Higashi no Eden!!!!!! |
 |
| They have to license the movies but I guess they can wait and see how well the show sells before they do. BD where? |
| Hopefully Steve Blum voices all the characters in both anime. Either that, or he and Liam O'brien tag team it. |
| I want to own Edeeeeeeeen <3 yay |
 |
| both good animes, eden would be a good purchase on dvd. And it's coming sooner than most licensed anime from japan's air date it seems. |

Neither of them will be in the dub unless Funimation decides that they want to fly them over to do voice work. It will probably be the usual voice actors you see in Funimation's dubs. which sucks :( they should put more effort in i say. |
| i bet higashi will sold out after a few minutes |
magentaanbu said: but... Casshern? :/ not a bright move imo... Why? There's already about half of the people who posted in this thread who said they'll buy it, and like i've said a few times already, the Casshern franchise is huge around the world, especially in the US. It'll sell for sure. It does urk me that people keep thinking it's a wrong move on Funi's part to license it. & i ask why? & actually reason please, not "oh the show's to dark and it won't sell", because that's rubbish. |
