| FMA:B Movie awesome!!! |
| it'll take much Longer to get to my shores! |
| Wait, so they licensed Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?, but nobody licensed Madoka yet? That's nice and all, but seriously Funimation, you should get on that, like, right now, before Sentai Filmworks and all their mediocre dubbing beat you to it. Anyways, a new FMA: B movie sounds good, although I haven't finished watching the series, since I'm currently waiting for more dub episodes (I refuse to watch it subbed.) |

I seem to vaguely recall reading somewhere a Madoka dub is very unlikely. |
| oh, I'm glad they licensed the FMA:B movie, I only like watching FMA dubbed :3 I'm happy about Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka? too, I didn't know people hated it, I assumed everyone loved it, since it's full of fanservice and violence xD; |
| I am jumping with joy Funimation got Kore Wa zombie desuka |
 |
| It could be worse, they could be licensing Rio: Rainbow Gate or Dragon Crisis. |
| Ok™ |
| That the new Fullmetal Alchemist movie would get licensed was to be expected. However, not that I think it's a bad show, but Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? getting licensed surprised me a bit. |
 |
| I guess they're willing to nab anything FMA-related |
 |
| Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? was one of my favorites from the winter season so I'm glad to see it licensed. I'm hoping for Level E and Madoka to eventually get licensed as well. |
| Looking at posts on the Internet wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't also mix up he and she. |

| I am surprised Funi grabbed Zombie, it was a Crunchyroll show. FMA:B movie is no surprise at all, except the fact it is a pre-license. |

| Did anyone really expect Funi not to licence the FMA movie? |
| I love Kore wa Zombie Desu ka, and I really don't want to see it get a crappy dub, I'll cross my fingers for an awesome dub. |

Not true, they have a good portion of their shows licensed: Arakawa Under The Bridge Dance in the Vampire Bund Hidamari Sketch(three seasons) Maria Holic(Alive was licensed before it aired) He is My Master Negima!? Mahoromatic Pani Poni Dash Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei(although I'm not sure when the first half will be released) Popotan Sakura Diaries Moon Phase Uta Kata Some of these are collaborations with other studios, but this shows Madoka has a decent chance of getting licensed, although when is a good question. |

| Good stuff, nice to see more coming over to the west, that way I don't need to import it :/ |
 |
| I liked Kore wa zombie desu ka?, but I don't think I'd go out of my way to buy it. I saw it legally on CR, so no guilt from me. Maybe FUNi's saving Madoka Magica for a bigger con like AX or Otakon? Or maybe Aniplex nabbed it for themselves. |

| Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? is a pretty surprising license for FUNi to get. FMA is no surprise. |

BL2W said: Do American licensing companies just think that people won't like shows like Madoka or Bakemonogatari? Maybe they're too expensive to license? Do they think that they're just not worth it...? Honestly, I'd never thought in my wildest dreams that Arakawa would actually get licensed, never mind it happening before Bakemonogatari (though I'm sure it was much cheaper to license Arakawa). I'm just stuck hoping that NIS America doing Katanatagari and Arakawa could somehow lead them to nabbing Bakemonogatari. |
| honestly, who else right now can release stuff but FUNI.....get used to it. everyone else seem to have kicked the bucket. gha i miss the slim jim man! |

Funi recently grabbed Fairy Tail as well, which is one of Crunchys big hits. --- And to the people talking about Madoka getting licensed: It won't happen. Shaft asked a lot of money to license Bakem, since Shaft wants to get big money for their big selling properties, but shows like Bakem and Madoka won't be the big sellers in America they are in Japan. I heard (though only a rumor) that Shaft asked close to Bleach money to license for Bakem. Nobody would pay that for Bakem or Madoka. |

| I wonder what voice actress they'll cast for Yuu. :V |

| i wonder how funimations is gunna cruise over the more slutty parts of Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka? |
| Funimation dubs usually are not that great. So I'm worried for Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka. It was good in Japanese. I'm sure subs are better than dubs in this case. |

Without Navarre, they can't really take shots in the dark so they are going with shows that have already gained some level of popularity in legal streaming numbers. Legal streaming numbers are everything, if its popular, it will get licensed. Since things like Bakemono and Madoka did not get streamed legally worldwide, Funi may not be willing to chance on them which is perfectly reasonable from a business standpoint. Case-in-point; Kuragehime. Shiki. Fractale. Numbers were solid from legal streaming at their sites. Fan survey showed people wanted it. Funimation got it. Fairy Tail. Panty and Stocking. Is This A Zombie? Numbers were good for CR legal streaming. They went after and got them. |

| FUNimation grabbing Korezom is boyh good and bad. Good: I can now see it on a 52inch screen, being my favorite from the Winter Season and a Personal Favorite overral for my own reasons Bad: FUNimation is totally going to Slaughter all of Yuu's parts by having bad voice actresses, especially in EP 11and the singing parts in EP 12, Ayumu's Dialogue in EP 11 ect. I think the only FUNimation dub I liked was Sekirei, if that was FUNimation |
