| Interesting, so this show in particular is being pushed for a television slot? I don't see any reference to broadcast rights being acquired for STRAIN or Il Teatrino. |

If it does get a broadcast, it would be on one of those subscriber channels or cut (which would suck badly) since the anime contains nipples getting cut off and eaten, and incestuous acts
IFC will hopefully air Gunslinger Season 2 like they did season 1...i hope |

| With Funimation grabbing this up I can't wait to see what kind of butchering edit job they do to it. If anything I'll get a good laugh out of watching it. |

... Which is why they gave a trailer showing the main character smashing a man's face in and a completely nude woman getting decapitated?
Unless you're referring to potential edits for television viewings -- which I am doubtful will happen, considering only a few potential PPV channels would air this -- then the knee-jerk reaction isn't warranted. |

Seriously, what year did you write this post?
1998?
Things have changed.
Watch IFC tonight and watch Speed Grapher - uncut with all the language and naughty bits. On TV - not DVD - TV.

You're ridiculously off base in your comments here. Have you watched anything funimation has released recently? Can you tell me what these "butchering" edits are? |

| Unless Shigurui is a comedy that makes a lot of jokes that refer to Japanese pop culture or puns with the Japanese language I hardly see any reason why Funi would bother making any edits simply because Funi hasn't been that kind of company since DBZ. Shin-chan falls under this category and while some may call it a butcher job I find the dub to be a real riot. |

Some of use older fans still remember the old DBZ dub, and have a knee jerk reaction, to you guys, I know even now i still wince a bit when i hear funi licenses something before i then remember the more recent good work from you guys. |

Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be best to change the name of the company: "Funimation" just sort of has this childish ring to it anyway. (Okay, I'll admit, I've always thought it was a really LAME name)
Then you could stop all (most) of this bad association with the past and have a cleaner slate. |

I get the same way with Mixx Zine, oh I'm sorry, Tokyo Pop. 
Oh wait, maybe in their case, it may still be warranted.  |
