Awesome news! I really enjoyed him as Lupin from the movies Funi released. Hopefully they can get the rest of the cast back to reprise their roles.

Wow. As a fan of the series, I'm so happy to hear this! Now I can rest easy that I'll be able to own a R1 release of this series in a year or so.

YES. I'd been waiting for news about that one.

And I guess that this means that there will be news about a possible release for Kamisama Kiss soon as well?

Interesting that Kamisama Kiss is Funi's most popular stream ever. Would never have guessed that. I watched and liked the show but there was nothing about it that seemed to scream, "this will be the most popular Funi stream!"

The Japanese Blu-ray and DVD releases only just started last month (the last one due to be released in June), so at the most we'll probably just hear a confirmation that FUNi has home video rights and does intend to release it on DVD/Blu-ray. The earliest I could see the R1 set being released is the first or second quarter of 2014.

Hopefully, now that both sets of Index have shipped, Railgun won't be too far behind.

All FUNi pretty much has to say is "from the director of Fruits Basket" and it'd get a ton of views.

I tried watching Kamisama Kiss but it was one of those, I'm not sure how to phrase it, maybe I should say it's a shoujo series where I don't care what the male lead does, topping the list is getting together with the girl? Anyway, I only watched the first episode but in the meantime, I purchased the Fruits Basket anime because I like the director Daichi as I'm familar with Jubei season 1 + 2 and Kodocha.

Odlly enough, Fruits Basket {so far, I'm up to 12 episodes} has met my expectations. I should give Kamisama Kiss another attempt since I didn't know it was another Daichi show at the time. Still, the guy's just ... annoying. One episode too, too much at that.

Also, War on Geminar should be a lot sooner than summer {Or "Did we say summer? We meant fall"}. I know it's the equivalent of a 26 episode series but come on, I'd think Funi would have rode the Tenchi train to Genimar, so to speak.

That didn't work for Kodocha, but partially because a lot of people did get (needlessly) angry at Funimation over some stupid music rights issues.

...I bought every disk of Kodocha as it came out, and sorely miss having the 2nd (and IMO, better) half.

Always been curious to see this. I may have to blind-buy it if a BD box comes out.

Finally some news about Future Diary! I've been waiting for this ever since they announced that they had licensed it. I really liked Future Diary a lot.
