I have seen the BD of Eureka Seven and they didn't look all that great, but with SD shows being upscaled, it seems to be hit or miss. Not sure if Funi will leave them in 4:3 as the Japanese release did, with black bars on either side or stretch the picture into 16:9. I am hoping they leave it at 4:3, but this is Funi we are talking about.

Funimation just announced on Facebook that they acquired home release rights for A Certain Magical Index II and the movie.

Nice! Kinda surprised it took this long, but welcome confirmation, nonetheless.
And thanks for updating your OP, WTK. |

I'm stoked to hear the 2nd Season of a A Certain Magical Index and the Movie got licensed. I watched the movie on Thanksgiving and it was so good.

The only show I really want funimation to release is ben-to.
still waiting for it. of course, I love majutsu season II but I would rather it burn in a fire then down-scale it and release it on DVD. |

If anyone releases Ben-To in NA I will have to buy new pants.

WTK, would you mind re-updating this for the 2014 releases or lack of releases?
For instance: Already Released: Attack on Titan, Psycho-Pass, Ikki-Tousen:XX, Hetalia: The Beautiful World, Senran Kagura, The Devil is a Part-Timer!, Eureka 7 TV/Movie, HAL, GitS:Arise, Code:Breaker, Karneval, Date a Alive (S1), Red Data Girl, Scientific Railgun S, High School DxD New, Solicited with definite release dates: Cowboy Bebop (12/16) Streaming Shows planned for home video: Brothers Conflict, Freezing Vibration, Unbreakable Machine Doll, BlazBlue, Tokyo Ravens, Puchim@s. Nice to see Funi clearing a lot of these out of the backlog, but there's still a disturbing lack of progress with older rescues like non-Bebop Sunrise stuff and Pretear. I guess it takes at least 2 years to author 4-7 discs down to 2/4 discs and re-release stuff that was already translated and dubbed ages ago.

Hey does anybody know what happen to Big Tits Zombie? Funimation had license for the US release since 2011 and we haven't seen any blu-ray/DVD release at all. I don't see it under their Giant Ape Label at all.

^ Released in late 2012: LINK (DVD only via Entertainment One). Interesting to see FUNimation logo on the back cover.

I see, so it never got a blu-ray release, how odd this didn't appear on Funimation's Giant Ape label webpage for sales/purchases.

I'm definitely interested. Once again, thanks for all your work, WTK.
At one time, Funi streaming a show was a pretty good indicator that it would eventually get a home release (with the exception of things like Tatami Galaxy, Rainbow and more mysteriously, C³). Now that Funi is streaming so many more titles I wonder if the phenomenon of streaming shows not getting physical releases will grow. |

Thanks WTK, this is one of the reasons that ANN retail forum is one of the first places I stop off at.
I'm curious which of the old titles Funi will give the LE treatment to. They gave Eureka7 a box and I wouldn't mind seeing Witch Hunter Robin get one too. I might be willing to replace my Code Geass complete sets with some LEs too. But I guess I'll have to wait on Code Geass (maybe till 2016?) since according to the WTKs list they're not done with the BDs in Japan. I'm surprised at Black Rock Shooter not even streaming anymore. I thought it was a popular franchise (maybe not in NA?). |
