| In a recent press release Funimation announced that it had officially acquired the new Gainax title, Shikabane Hime Aka. Beginning October 24 Funimation will begin streaming high-quality full episodes of the series through their video sharing partners YouTube.com, Joost.com, Hulu.com, as well as their own video sharing service at funimation.com. There will also be a US$1.99 download option on funimation.com. "Shikabane Hime (Corpse Princess) is a horror-action anime which tells the tale of a girl named Makina who is one of the living dead. If she is to ever find peace, she must hunt down and destroy her own kind. Aided by a secret society of monks, Makina's quest to rid the world of the undead begins. Makina is voiced by Japanese television star Nana Akiyama." Source: Market Watch |

| Wow, that was a pretty quick one. I suppose they'll be cracking down on fansubbers of it now. |
        |
| Couldn't care less about this anime as it's terrible but I'm happy to see Funimation picking titles up so quickly. |
| I have no problem with this unless the streaming isn't free >_>; I mean if its supposed to be the same as watching it on TV is should be free right? = __= I hope only the download will have a cost. |
     |
| OHOHOHO Who said putting it on my FAL team is a bad idea? Weird that they went right for the worst show of the season. |
| Ehhhhhhhhh?!?!?! Already?! That was fast!! I was just getting into the anime!! |
 |
| Funimation Thank you now I hope your stock rise more, I need money..... |
     |
| Crap. I hope someone will keep on subbing this. >_> |
| Already?! Don't they have enough shows to work on right now? Plate said: Weird that they went right for the worst show of the season. If you can call this 'the worst show of the season' then you obviously haven't watched Kurogane no Linebarrels. IMO that show is worse. |
 |
| ...That was quick. Well, as long as I can snatch the full OP from somewhere, I'll be happy. |

| That was fast. |
| Rather fast for this anime. lol Just hope Lunar still subs this. Momo-Hime said: Already?! Don't they have enough shows to work on right now? Isn't the Geneon and ADV anime already pretty much done? They mostly worry about thier own stuff. |
| sooo it's licensed? |

| :DDDDDDDD This is gonna help me in FAL. It also gonna effect me. >.> |

| i agree that there are WAAY better shows out there that haven't been licensed (where the hell are my ef DVDs?!) but looks like FUNi agrees with me that this show is underrated |
| It will be better with English dubs. The voice acting by the amateur idols sucks. I hate that kind of marketing. |
Tekky99 said: but looks like FUNi agrees with me that this show is underrated It is underrated, but far from the best FUNi could have taken. |
| This got picked up quick, hope it doesn't hurt the subs *_* |
 |
| A very progressive move on Funi's part...good to see them thinking outside the box. A 1.99 an episode to own is a really good price. |

| If they make it English Dubbed only and stop the japanses version... Boycotting time. |
| |
| Shame, now this will go to my On Hold hell most likely. I can't recall Lunar fighting the power. |
| Dont know if I should laugh or cry... |

| |
| Well, didn't expect this to happen. As long as the streaming is free, this could work. As for the quality of the anime itself, it isn't that bad as most people are claiming it to be. |
overfunk said: You have more faith than I. With this news I've already relegated this series to my Dropped list, and what I've got will likely go to the digital oblivion.Shame, now this will go to my On Hold hell most likely. I can't recall Lunar fighting the power. I honestly cannot recall Lunar keeping a series after a license report, and this is close enough to it. |

| What is wrong with you people, this is what we want, Funimation is putting a show on youtube, HULU, Joost, and download to own less than a month after it aired in Japan subbed. So it has all the qualifications of a good realease, "oh no my fansub group may drop it" GOOD, it is coming subbed leagally to the USA. The only problem is of the 4 shows I am watching this season this is number 4, not bad but not great. |
| My anime list |
| pretty funny that people are already calling out the 'worst shows of the season' when the season's barely started :S |

| Ugh, there goes FAL... :'( I'm happy they grabbed this one though (aside from FAL). It's one of the lowest on my priority list, so it doesn't bother me if subs quit on it. Sorry for everyone else that's worried about it, though. |
| Wait, for serious? ...Oh well. I was ambivalent on it anyways. |
| i hope lunar is still gonna sub it cuz i wont be paying 2 bucks a show lol what is this world coming to soo air is gonna have a tax on it |
 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 |
| Those funimation bastards- They keep licensing my animay! :O |
| On-hold for now, I will wait and see how good the stream is before venturing further. Good news for this show though, however undeserved it may be. Lunar will drop this now, I don't think we have to worry about that. Unless it's a different Lunar? Lunar already dropped this. |

| Well, this series is pretty bad anyways. |

| Damn man, that was fast. Kinda good, kinda bad, so whatever. dtshyk said: It will be better with English dubs. The voice acting by the amateur idols sucks. I hate that kind of marketing. Damn, I might have to agree with you on that one. Although I usually don't watch dubs, I have confidence that whoever will be doing Ouri will hopefully be MUCH better than the Japanese VA now. |
| Is it because it's Gainax? Probably |

LOL at everyone who just doesn't want to pay though, since all of those websites are free. I wasn't crazy about watching this series but I'll check it out since Funi's putting it out there. Glad it's not just youtube, I like Hulu a lot. <3 |

Not to mention the fact that I'd just like to keep the file on my HD, not just watch it on some site. |

| It sounds quite interesting I might have to give it a watch sometime |

Not to mention the fact that I'd just like to keep the file on my HD, not just watch it on some site. The solution to that is easy. 1. Get RealPlayer. 2. Open a web browser in RP (or use your favorite with the plugin). 3. Navigate to a Youtube video. 4. Click the view in high quality button. 5. Put your mouse pointer over the video, a download video button appears in the upper right corner. 6. Wait a bit and you'll have the file on your hard drive. |
