As for the picture, I'm guessing Ayakashi? |
Yeah, except when a company twiddles its thumbs and loses the license to a show due to their own ineptness, like ADV perhaps. And that happened a lot faster than with other shows people are complaining about. So yes, in the fast paced world of anime, you have to be quick or you will lose out. |

Personally, even though I watch a lot of stuff fansubbed before the DVD release, I don't watch everything in this manner (e.g. Claymore, DTB, Ouran, FMP:TSR -- man, that one was torture to wait for though). |

The mecha aren't really focused on and the combat is a total free for all once things actually break out. There's no real strategy or armor involved most of the time. I mean come on Funi you can come up with a better American name for the series then that. |
STRAIN = STRategic Armoured INfantry.
Funimation wasn't the origin of the phrase. |

| The "loosely based on" part always made me laugh when watching the show. |

| Plus, one translation of "soukou" is "armour" (though it's different characters to the ones used in the title) |
