I can't even imagine the backlash they would've gotten had they not gotten back the cast. Oi. It deserves a resounding "HELL YEA". Tabitha probably needed something to do while it's taking forever for MLP season three to come out.

That "BD undecided" isn't jiving real well with me, though.

Blu-ray undecided? Really? If they are aiming for spring 2013 won't it have been something like 2 years or more since the first BD was released? Isn't that long enough to satisfy reverse-import fears? I double dipped and pre-ordered the new BDs for the regular seasons partly in anticipation of a BD for Roberta. But if they release DVD only I'm not going to buy it, since I don't feel like double dipping again down the road. I would rather them delay Roberta's release another 6 months to get the BD. Let's hope that the "undecided" just means "we are continuing negotiations for the BD" and it doesn't become DVD only.

Original cast = frickin' awesome news. Although to be honest, all I really cared about was Revy and Rock. Those voices are irreplaceable. Everyone else ... eh.

By this time, there is no way that they don't know if Blu-ray is included or not (especially if it's coming out this spring). It's just their recent way of not giving additional details until needed (solicitations, formal announcement on FUNimation.com,...). In any case, I expect them to include Blu-ray (considering they treated S1 & 2 as such).

First off: Funimation announced at AWA that The Woman Called Fujiko Mine will be released Summer 2013 on DVD and I can only presume Blu-Ray. It will be dubbed and subtitled.

I am really surprised that funimation never picked that up. I thought it would be such a sure thing for them. I thought it was hysterical.

Future Diary, I'm glad to see the home release is happening. Really needs to be BD though so I'll wait and watch for now. It's probably the only two cour show I'm willing to buy halved.

Sankarea... It's still on my "watch" list. So I'll watch the show and wait, I guess. Still waiting for the other Funimation zombie series to be released, I think that's why I'm hesitant about the serious one.

Blood-C? This is not the C title I was looking for and neither was [C]. Were the numbers for C Cubed that bad or was Blood-C that good? Not the numbers, the show? I forgot all about it.

[AU] Madman Entertainment has announced Blu-ray for Appleseed XIII and BLOOD-C: The Last Dark.

http://www.madman.com.au/news/supanova-adelaide-announcements/

It's pretty much a given that FUNimation will do the same (not like there was any doubt on these two to begin with).

Recording for Strong World starts early next year and a Summer/Fall 2013 release is where it's currently slated. I hope you can wait that long. It's TOTALLY worth it!


Of the listed series below, we likely will see Railgun first. The rest (not including Shana S3) would be a toss up from March toward mid-2013. It's looking more and more like Guilty Crown could be released earlier than I originally anticipated (which was toward late 2013).

Also interesting to note is that Pam Dougherty lists "Shana 3" on her list, so season 3's dub may have started production.

2013 would be too soon for a Strong World release. Funimation is way behind on the series release considering they are barely in the 200's, and the movie special episodes didn't air till 426. At the very least, Funimation needs to get past the Enies Lobby arc or it will leave new comers to the series wondering how spoiler[ some of the fight sequences are possible.]
