Damn. Aniplex got Durarara. That shit is going to be expensive as hell.  |

Only two titles interest me on that list and one of them is Durarara!!x2 Shou. Kinda curious to see the price tag on this soon.  |
Still no Hunter x Hunter (2011) fuck this shit then  |
anyone know if Mushishi Zoku Shou got licensed? |
BigSimo said: Didn't Madman get that?anyone know if Mushishi Zoku Shou got licensed?  |
Did anybody ever report the Discotek licenses? |
AnnaSartin said: Did anybody ever report the Discotek licenses? yes there in the previous quarter |
deanzel said: Numi said: They already had the first season. Them getting the second season was not guaranteed, but very much expected, I'd say. Yeah, I know. I just hate everything Aniplex. Let me vent, BRUH. Same, but UK and Australia usually has Aniplex releases cheaper than US (I think) so just get a region free DVD/Bluray and import. "What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
Funimation just got the Home video rights for: Noragami, Danganronpa, Buddy complex, Daimidaler: Prince VS. Penguin Empire, Terror in Resonance, Maken-Ki!

Thanks for this. |
Argh, damn, a Samurai anime with Sanada Yukimura as the mc...would have been happier if it was Date Masamune,Tokugawa or Oda instead.  |

Unfortunately, that announcement is only for the simulcast. Funi didn't mention home video rights anywhere in it. Sometimes that company announces home video rights right away, but in most cases, that doesn't happen until months or even a year plus after the show starts airing. Funi tends to make the final decision as to whether they will or not based on the viewing numbers for the series in question. Only when they announce home video rights is it considered a license and would be put in the quarterly license acquisitions post. |
I keep forgetting that other companies other than FUNimation actually still exist. Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
I wonder who Funi will get to dub Terror in Resonance...  Click Nick's face for my anime list |
Funimation ain't joking around. |

It's nice to see that they have already licensed something that I have interest in (Chaika) and that they are looking into some other titles as well. I'm intrigued to see what else they have up their sleeves for future releases. Also, I'm hoping that Chaika getting released over here in the UK is a sign of an upcoming dub; despite the lack of popularity in Japan, it seems like the kind of series that would get dubbed. And I hope that their release of Chaika covers season 1 AND season 2. If not, I'm sure they'll pick up the second season later on anyway. Modified by Atavistic, Jan 13, 2015 8:32 AM  |

Well Well, this is a surprise, so another new Uk Anime Distributor has opened up. Last year we got Anime Limited and now this. it's just shows just how much the anime market is growing especially in Europe now which is catching up with the America's and they have Chaika which is already a title on to buy list. |
