What were you expecting? They're still chugging along with the TV series and they made it clear at Otakon that they had no intentions of doing the movies (they only did the one they did because it was a good jumping in point being based directly on the TV episodes). Emerje |

They have Chromeshelled Regios.
They have Black Butler. They have Sacred Blacksmith. So what seems to be the problem? Also, I can agree on two things: FUNi being restrained because Navarre has a buyer for them, and Hakuouki would be SO MUCH WIN amongst fans of ACTUAL PLOT WRITING AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. The one thing I disagree on:
I seen more "heart and soul" in X-Men Origins Wolverine than I could find in the lot of the moe for-otaku animu Japan keeps creating. But hey. When the recession's over, I'll revisit this "heart and soul" issue and see how everyone else is doing then. |

Cool! I don't know what are the chances of this getting played anywhere I can go see it, but I'd like to see it in the theaters if I can.
Um, Summer Wars is the most non-moe-for-otaku movie in ages. |

You mean, like the fans of all those dating-sim shows ?  (except the main audience would be girls...)
I guess with the amount of dating sims and harem shows flooding the market this season(they are sort of competing against each other), I can't blame Funi for not announcing any streaming licenses. Was sort of hoping for Star Driver, though. |

So not much in the way of actual news then. To bad.

I know you people are talking about "Summer Wars." I don't plan on watching it since it's not my cup of tea. It's certainly not as bad as the otaku garbage that's out there. But it seemed like the guy who used "heart and soul" for "Summer Wars" had not seen a live-action near-sci-fi movie at all. |

Seriously? Have you watched Fullmetal Alchemist and FMA Brotherhood? |

Yes he has, and has in numerous other threads said he doesn't much like those dubs, so he's being entirely consistent. I concur in part, btw; I cannot stand Vic Mignogna as Ed, he sounds... well, like 45-year old man trying to play a 15-year old boy.

Why else would I say he was mediocre? The only reason he's "mediocre" instead of "bad" is because some of the VAs performed well. But that's probably more a testament to their skills as VAs. The Rebuild 1.0 dub was iffy, only marginally better than ADV's awful dub of the TV series. Don't get me started on his DBZ work. |

I felt that the Rebuild dub was very well put together and one of FUNi's best.

I find it more puzzling than disappointing. I had originally speculated over at the Funimation forum that perhaps they were putting everything on hold because Navarre had a pending buyer for Funimation. At the time, I was only half serious, but can anyone put forward another reasonable explanation for the delay? The only thing more puzzling would be if they actually had not licensed any simulcasts yet for the Fall. If that had happened, I would fully expect Crunchyroll to have announced the licensing of Index II and Star Driver by now.

Geez, you people are spoiled aren't you? So Funimation goes one con without announcing too much, is that really something to get so upset over? I mean c'mon, some companies don't even HAVE a panel at NYAF (looking at you Viz >_> ).
Anyway, if it isn't too much money I might actually be interested in that FLCL release. |
