According to the official blog, FUNimation acquired "HeatGuy J" and its DVD extra episode. It will be released in a complete box set later this year.

This series was directed by Akane Kazuki ("Escaflowne", "Noein - Mou Hitori no Kimi e", "Tetsuwan Birdy Decode") and produced by Satelight.

This is another former Geneon title which makes me think Funimation must have picked it up on the cheap. I wonder how much they're planning on selling this for seeing as I can still find Geneon's release of the entire series selling for under $25.

...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work.

This was a Geneon title and Funimation has simply rescued it, just like Gankutsuou, Last Exile, Vandread, etc. There is no sense is people throwing a piss fit and bitching once AGAIN about Funimation picking up another series. They will simply be putting it back in print.

Personally, I've never seen this show, nor paid any attention to it. But seeing that the character designs are by Nobuteru Yuki, I might just have to buy it when it comes out. =)

EDIT- LOL tainteddonut beat me to it. XD

Lol this was licensed already. I figure they want more anime from Geneon.

EDIT: Beaten twice..

But yeah more saving is nice for those who want to buy older stuff. Like this one I only knew about only like once.
